Sen. Ted Stevens Introduces "Son of DOPA"

Posted by kdawson on Thursday February 15, 2007 @05:21AM from the tubes-tied dept.

DJCacophony writes "Ted 'series of tubes' Stevens has introduced a bill, going by the interim name S.49, that aims to block access to interactive websites from schools and libraries. The wording of the bill is vague enough to apply to Wikipedia, MySpace (and other social networking sites), and potentially even to blogs. The bill is apparently so similar to the failed Deleting Online Predators Act of last year that it has been termed 'Son of DOPA' by some." Stevens introduced S.49, the text of which is not yet available, on the opening day of the legislative session.

God, all i can say is Tubes.

TUBES!

How could anyone take this guy seriously?

"Lets ban, in school, what 90% of the tubes are for. And by tubes, I mean phone lines, which these internets are run over! If we don't block these interactive sites, that let you click on things, and view things, then out tubes will be filled! TUBES!"

Someone needs to order him a case of "for Dummies." books.
