WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that theFederal Communications Commission lacks the authority to require broadband providers to give equal treatment to all Internet traffic flowing over their networks.
Tuesday’s ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia is a big victory for the Comcast Corporation, the nation’s largest cable company. It had challenged the FCC’s authority to impose so called “net neutrality” obligations.
It marks a serious setback for the F.C.C., which needs authority to regulate the Internet in order to push ahead with key parts of its national broadband plan.

Fuck you, Comcast.  Fuck you to death.

I was going to reblog this with my own comment, but dude here has expressed my sentiments with greater eloquence.
(namely, the addition of “fuck you to death”)

Rikki:...WHAT.
Tall Guy:BWAHAHAH, good luck!
Rikki:Dude I get tongue-tied on my own name sometimes. This has got to be some sort of mistake.
Tall Guy:This is what you get for answering the phone professionally, if you answered ‘Whut’ like I do this would have never happened.

This is a photographic reminder for you to perform a chore you have most likely neglected for far too long.

(I didn’t think to take the picture until after removing a lot of the mess from the interior, btw.)

Normally I couldn’t give two shits about political cartoons not drawn by Tim Kreider, but this one isn’t a miserably-failed attempt at humorousness.
