Net Neutrality: Lobbyist McCurry Raises Ire
BBCWatcher writes "Mike McCurry, former Clinton Administration Press Secretary turned telecommunications industry lobbyist, reacts to his many new critics in the battle over Net Neutrality: "There are millions and millions of good Democrats who get paid by corporations," he said, "and I think every time we bash corporations, we just turn off people who are in the middle of the political spectrum." Among others, top political blogger Markos Moulitsas Zúniga responded swiftly to McCurry's latest assertions: "What a dishonest piece of sh[..] McCurry has become. This is an anti-corporatist jihad, is it? Is that why we are aligned with Microsoft, Google, and eBay? And when did the Christian Coalition and the Gun Owners of America join the 'left'? What a pathetic attempt to marginalize those of us working for net neutrality....McCurry is now a sad, sad, pathetic man.""
Fuck, what kind of crap is this? Did Slashdot get hacked by an evil cyber-terrorizing uglificionist?

It's the result of the competition for a new skin that we had a bit ago. See cmdrtaco's journal.
Frankly, I didn't think this was the best of the final 3 (to me, there was clearly a nicer skin).
What I'm really waiting for, is our new-found CSS capabilities used to allow user-selectable stylesheets. It can't be too hard; after all, they hacked the stylesheet for April 1 (when it went all pink).

My god, it's really ugly.
At first, I thought, "Oh, new look. It's attractive".
But after looking it over for 20 minutes, my eyes are actually starting to burn.
How do you do that with just white, black, grey and a few bits of blue & green? Whoever they hired to do this should be hired by the pentagon to get info out of those guy in Gitmo, because honestly, it hurts my eyes so bad that I would turn over my wife and kids to the gestapo after staring at this for a few minutes.
Really awful.
It is obvious that the education system of the Imperialistic Americans has failed you. You are seeing things that are obviously not there, if not checked soon you will be speaking of leftist bias in the press and wondering how when one president kills thousands by sanctions and missile attacks but accomplishes nothing he is a hero but when another actually liberates people he is a murderer. We Must get you to the re-education program immediately.
On a serious note you must be new here, Slashdot is much like an echo chamber. If the facts of your comment aren't liked its obvious that you are provoking an argument. Have links that show global warming isn't the fault of fat rich people driving SUV's just so they can make poor people feel bad you must be a troll.
If youre centrist, libertarian or just non Ideological I would suggest growing a thick skin and understanding that the more you demonstrate that there is more to the world than the slashbots comprehend the more they will hate you for it.
