How is this News?

Usually I'm willing to give BBR the benefit of the doubt...but, what exactly is news here? I mean, I just see an internet parody here. These are made all the time on YouTube - nothing special really...or maybe I just don't get it.

the point here is, is to keep the BS throttling and BT 'blockage' that Comcast is doing in the front of the news as a way to pressure them to stop (or at least fix things)

I, for one, found this parody quite funny (and seriously hope Comcast gets no ideas from it) and right on time.. It shows how bad a Mega-Corp could be.

I do not think they really care that much what is on the front page here.

I understand the message, but I just don't get how it's news. I mean, had Comcast said something, maybe...but at the moment, there's nothing really new or informative here.

Put it this way...do you think any other news/information outlet would pay much nevermind every time somebody just made a new anti-(insert cause here) banner?

It makes fun of Comcast(or any corporation for that matter) and that is BBR's favorite front page activity.

Well, there are legitamite developments in the Comcast sandvine/blocking issue. All the prior news posts involved some sort of news release/development over at Comcast. This news bit just adds nothing at all to the situation.

Yes, and that is oh so wrong because we all know that corporate America NEVER does anything that should be poked fun at... Corporate America is perfect and should never be criticized...
[/ sarcasm]

If you hate the BBR spin so much, why don't you go and someplace like the Verizon Policy Blog, which fits nicely with your bias.

I had no idea that corporate entities are organizations that should be approached with reverence.

I thought making fun of AT&T was the favorite front page activity.(Deathstar etc) I'm so confused.
