Net Neutrality Is Just "Mumbo Jumbo"

Ergasiophobia writes "It seems the National Cable & Telecommunications Association is spreading a blatant lie in the form of a commercial claiming that the net neutrality act will cost the consumer more and that it is 'bad' for the consumer. This, of course, ignores how much the cable companies will profit from the act's defeat. For some truthful information on the net neutrality act check out savetheinternet.com" This honestly seems too stupid to actually be real. Anyone know for sure?

Are you google-eyed with confusion over net neutrality? No wonder. It's all just clever mumbo jumbo. Net neutrality is nothing more than a scheme by the multi-billion dollar silicon valley tech companies to get you, the consumer, to pay more for their services. Forget all the mumbo jumbo, net neutrality simply means you pay.

Makes Microsoft's FUD look a bit tame by comparison.

The article says the NCTA did it. Their NCTA Net Neutrality page includes a link to their "Mumbo Jumbo" ad. Stupidity left as an exercise for the reader. Oh, and it's in Macromedia Flash format so it is not Real.

a) The page title is Untitled Page. Shows how much they know about the Internet.
b) I'm so happy I live in the UK, where I'm spared ads like that. Even the worst ads here are nowhere near as dumbed down (that ad talks down to people on so many levels) or expressly politicised as that.
