Senator Ted Stevens Understands the Internets Better than You
Topic: Technology

To close out our odd week, we turn to The Daily Show, who have come to some agreement to help get Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens, Chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, and his key message about the Internet, or as he calls them, "Internets," out to the general public.

Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens

For those of you that don't have speakers (you people would get along GREAT with Ted - ed.), we're putting his smartest quotes below.

"The Internet is not something that you just something on.  It's not a big truck, it's a series of tubes."

"And if you don't understand that those tubes can be filled, and if they're filled when you put your message in it, it gets in line, it's gonna be delayed by anyone who puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material."

"Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet?  I... just the other day, got Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, I got it yesterday."

Finally, someone like Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens comes along to give us the perfect understanding of just how important the Internets are and how our own Internet tubes can be clogged with enormous amounts of material.  That cleared everything up.
