Universal Appeal

Jul 25, 2006 in Uncategorized

winner.JPGI watched part of the Miss Universe pageant over the weekend. I haven’t watched one of those beauty shows in a long time. But I’ve been hearing good things about that Miss Universe show. I hear it’s hotness, personified. And the show didn’t prove me wrong.

What you get are all these hot international women, walking around in tight slinky dresses, and throwing on weird patterned bikinis, all doing pretty decent English-speak, although a few needed translators. And most of the chicks were pretty stacked. There were very few tiny hootied, thin skinned chicks. Most looked like they had eaten pretty well over the years, even the Latin chicks, who starve themselves to be on these types of shows.

Plus the crowd really gets into it, especially those Latin people. Everytime someone from a Latin American country was announced, you could hear those Spanish people going crazy. I think I even heard one of those air horns. Now that’s ghetto. But it added a level of excitement I didn’t expect. I was pleasantly surprised.

ghana.JPGAnother thing is that the chicks on there don’t mind getting sexed up either. And there’s none of that weird over-make-upped look. The chicks look nice and healthy, even the ones from countries like Ethiopia and Mexico. You’d expect those chicks to look tore up, but that chick from Ethiopia was kind of hot. And I don’t think her ribs were poking out in that bad starvation-is-killing-me kind of way. It didn’t feel bad checking these chicks out in tight-ass gowns and skimpy bikinis.

I spent most of the night turning back and forth between Telemundo and NBC, both running the show in some weird simulcast, with the Latin dudes doing voice overs. I couldn’t tell what the Latin announcers were saying most of the time since my spanish is pretty rudimentary. In fact, I really didn’t understand what they were saying on NBC most of the time since I don’t think Nancy O’Dell, or Carlos Ponce, or that really annoying gay dude, and that white chick know how to speak English very well. So, it was a wash.

The greatest moment on the show was also the crappiest moment on the show. During the bikini competition, they had this latin dude singing, or lip-syncing, his crappy latin dance tune.

I’ve heard a lot of crappy Latin pop over the years, but this song was one of the shittiest songs I’ve ever heard in my life. Only thing that made it bearable was when he would shut up and stop dancing, and the chicks would roll on out half naked. Then, just when I thought that I’d be happy, he’d pop back out again.

And one of the weirdest moments was on Telemundo, where they showed all the hosts, including the Spanish ones, dancing to the crap. I nearly barfed a testicle when I saw that shit. It was that bad.

But still, Chulo, or whatever his name was couldn’t ruin this magical night. I saw loads and loads of hot chicks, endlessly parading across my television screen. My favorites were the two Asian chicks, one from Japan and one from Thailand. I also liked most of the Latin chicks as well. In fact, even the white chicks from Canada and America were looking really hot.

chibana.JPGIn the end, I don’t know if they picked the right chick to be top dog, so to speak. They gave the crown to some 18 year old Puerto Rican. Out of all of the Puerto Ricans they could have found, I don’t think she was the hottest. If they had to give it to some spanish chick, they probably should have given it to that Mexican chick. She was pretty stacked.

I personally would have went with that chick from Japan, Kurara Chibana, just for the name alone. Everytime she came on the screen, I couldn’t keep my eyes off of her. From that hot little Samurai number, to that nice little black bikini, she was the hottest on the show. I just wish she spoke English a little bit better. She probably would have won if she had, because from what I saw, this chick was over the top killer.

Pharrell Can’t Sing

Jul 24, 2006 in Uncategorized

I hate the new Pharrell album. And my opinion isn’t anything special because I hear a lot of people don’t care much for this album either.

pharrell.JPGI’ll describe the problem with the album in only this way: it’s similar to Pharrell’s singing, it’s catchy and tuneful in spots, but always slightly off key. Every track sounds like it should be good, but there’s always something missing, something that should be there, but isn’t.

I found myself listening to the tracks, hoping to like the majority of them, but finding myself, ultimately, dissatisfied. It’s like when you eat something, and when you taste it, you know something isn’t in there that’s normally in there. That’s how this album is. It tastes funny. And it ain’t all there.

And I hate to say it, but I’m glad, because as of late, Pharrell was throwing out some Kanye West-type bullshit. He was making it sound like he had produced all those Neptunes hits by himself.

Sure, all Chad Hugo does is play a little synthesizer, and lay and fiddle with the tracks when they’re done. But I dare say, there probably wouldn’t be a Neptunes sound without him. Pharrell was straight pissing on his boy like Dre pissed on Yella all those many years ago. And that ain’t cool.

Even if your boy ain’t pulling his share, you don’t out that shit when you say you’re still cool with him. And I haven’t heard Pharrell say he ain’t cool with the Filipino. So, he needed to chill-niz-oid on dumping on his main hombre like that. It just wasn’t coming off nice like that.

I predict, because of that crap, Pharrell and Chad will officially break up after at least two more years. The hits will eventually run dry, like they always do, and Pharrell will go the way of his mentor, Teddy Riley, and try to put together several groups where he can showcase his awful crooning.

Pretty soon, these groups will break up, and within a decade he will be doing NERD reunion tours, sans Hugo and that other dude who seems to be around to carry the boulders, if you know what I mean.

Race Pimps Back-Slapped By Republicans

Or

To Missile Wit Love

I can’t believe they took that classic off of YouTube, the one where that white devil trucker, Reginald Denny, got pulled out of his redneck mack truck, and got bricked up to the head by some mad, angry black home skillets. Straight gangsta. I used to have that shit on rewind, watched it before I went out into the cold, cold world. Everytime I viewed it, it made me feel like, maybe, just maybe, dreams could come true, that maybe, the world could be fair in the end. If only.

KimJong.jpgShows the world what a negro can do when pushed to the edge. That’s why I never wanna go to war with Africa. Because if any African nation got some missiles, and some nuclear warheads, the world would be in really big trouble.

See, I view crazy world leaders on this level: you got your Canadians, which are at level zero. They may have the capabilities to go to war, but those dudes ain’t got no heart. They get that yellow gene from their European cousins, the French.

Then you got your people in the Far East, this includes all the Asian nations except the Chinese and the Koreans. The rest are either too broke, or too crazy to be able to start some shit. Take the Japanese. Those dudes used to be hardcore, but having a A-Bomb dropped on your ass takes the piss outta your vinegar, or however it goes. So, now those dudes spend most of the time making video game systems, jerking off to sick ass cartoons, and pulling weird ass pranks on each other.

I think the same can be said about the other Asian nations. They’ve been through so much bullshit war throughout most of the 20th Century, and had so many bombs dropped on their shitty ass countries, that most of them are really gunshy, and would rather buy teen-age sex slaves, and barbecue dog brains and rats, and other weird shit like that. But I can see how getting your ass kicked continuously throughout every major conflict over the past 100 years can do that to a people. It just takes the fight outta ya.

Too bad the Chinese ain’t learned from their brothers, although I think over the last decade, those brothers have started to cool down. In fact, they’ve chilled so much, that the Bush administration has them doing “peace” talks with that crazy ass dude down in North Korea, Kim Jong-il

You might say that Kim Jong-il is the new slantied-eyed version of Saddam Hussein. Only thing is I think Kim Jong-il might be crazier. Saddam knew when to back down. He’d talk his shit, throw some bullshit at you, and run away laughing. But Kim Jong-il seems like the kind of dude who’d walk up to you on the streets, ask for a dollar, and when you tell him no, pull out a gun and put a bullet in your brain. If he was born in America, I’m sure he would have grown up to become a serial killer. That dude just gives off that “nutty” vibe.

Now, if the Bush administration decided to drop a bomb on that bastard, I wouldn’t protest. But we know that that shit ain’t happening, because Kim Jong-il actually has the weapons to fuck a country up. He most likely would lose, but he’d probably try his best to fuck up California in the process, which ain’t that bad of a trade-off.

Anyway, getting back to my well-thought out comparison of most dangerous people, I’d have to stick the Latins above the Asians, minus China and North Korea. What makes those nations dangerous is that they have really corrupt, military-based leaders.

The only reason they’re not as dangerous is because most of those South American nations are dirt poor, and really corrupt. If only those dudes up top learned how to transform that Cocaine money into radiated nuclear bullshit, I have no doubt we’d be getting an ass-kicking by some bullshit country like Colombia or Argentina right now.

Those dudes balls is their word. They all live off that macho bullshit. I just don’t see those assholes backing down from an ass-whupping. Which means Texas and Arkansas gets wasted, which, again, I don’t see as such a bad trade-off.

After the Latins, I’d have to put my African brothers. Where did Saddam Hussein almost get some nuclear shit from? Africa. That’s right, because in Africa, anything goes. Africa is the only continent where Americans are afraid as fuck to go to, except maybe if you’re Brad and Angelina, but I negate those two because of the inherent insanity inbred in their genes.

And did anybody forget Somalia? I saw that shit in Black Hawk Down. Niggas fucked the shit outta those Marines. You wanna know why? Because niggas don’t give a fuck.

That’s why you got dudes roaming around the countryside putting caps in babies, and raping little 10 year old girls. It’s also why you got dudes fuckin’ nasty ass beyotches even though they know those hoes got the AIDS. Niggas don’t give a fuck. Do you think if one of those African countries put together a nuclear program, they wouldn’t drop a bomb or two on another country.

If I found out that some fucked up nation from the Congo started making nuclear warheads, I’d start breaking my ass up north to the pole, build me an igloo, get a fucked up Eskimo beyotch, and chill until the niggas stop fuckin shit up.

The only problem with this scenario is that niggas whereever you go will fuck themselves up before they get started on the devils around them. That’s why you got niggas hacking the limbs off of other niggas. I guess it’s just in our nature. It’s for this fact that Africans don’t rank higher on the danger scale. If they ever got the capability to go to real war, the only shit they’d fuck up is their own shit. And that’s why the white devil will always win. Unless, of course my skillets in the middle start getting their act together.

The Middle-East. I think they hate us. Those dudes from Middle-East have shown the drive and solidarity to fuck up a country. And they’re constantly finding new ways to rock out a Jew. The only problem is that the Middle-East is two grain bags away from third-world status. And those dudes don’t know when to back down, therefore, always shooting themselves in the foot before they get around to starting any real shit.

Take Iran. Iran don’t know when to shut the fuck up. They could have played the diplomatic game while building them nuclears on the low, but those dudes had to show off, sort of like that Kim Jong-il. Beyotches always gotta show off, show the world that they got big nuts too. Thing is, if they kept their nuts in their drawers, they could save that nut show off for when the real fucking comes around. Hold them missiles on the low until you’re ready to fuck a beyotch up.

But nope. Beyotches gotta burn effigies and shit, and declare jihad on any bastard that steps on their white Nikes. How the fuck do you riot over a fuckin’ cartoon character? Crazy ass towelhead wearing niggas

If they had enough sense, they’d tone down all that anti-semitism, and stop all that jihad declaring, and chill and act nice. Then they could build that arsenal on the low. Talk a little shit. Get diplomatic. Then, BAM! Nuclear bomb all up Israel’s ass. What you gon’ do now, beyotches!?! You can’t do shit about it but take it, like that ho that Mike Tyson raped.

Only problem, in all these scenarios, the opposition loses. Why? Because the most dangerous people on this planet is the white man, especially the top dog, the United States. You combine the whiteness of Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia, and you have yourself there a group of honkies that can fuck up the planet in one big swoop. That’s Cold War killing there, my brothers.

And the thing is, they can talk shit, and play gangsta on a country like Iraq, and commit genocide on their own people, like in Russia, and the rest of the world can’t say shit. It’s like that scene in that Parker and Stone movie. The white man is the dick, and the world is a pussy, and the enemy is an ass. And dicks fuck pussy and ass, and there ain’t shit an ass or a pussy can say about it. All they can do is take it, just like the punk ass beyotches they are.

So, in the end, so to speak, dick always wins. And for that, I will always be grateful for the white man for coming to Africa, and enslaving my ancestors, raping my great grandmothers and making me a nigga. For without that, how could I ever have become a part of this great white Christian nation called America.

May God bless her always.

The World’s Greatest Scam

Jul 19, 2006 in Uncategorized

Anybody wanna buy a bridge off me. I could really use the dough.

Some crackhead ripped my building’s power lines out again. They apparently cut out the phone lines also. I went a day without power. Luckily I got to go to work. Otherwise I would have been sweating buckets all day.

By the time I made it back home, they had fixed the power, but I still didn’t have any phone service. So, I didn’t commit any Internet crimes last night. I bet that crackhead was told to do that vandalism by the MPAA and the RIAA just to stop me from experiencing my nation’s cultural artforms, like Big Busty Nasty Latin Sluts, part 24. Bastards.

Since I didn’t have any Internets to play around in, I spent the night listening to my Zen Nano, and sleeping. I woke up around 10:30, doozed through some Jay Leno, and finally fully woke up to check out this white chick with her breast out in this infomercial.

She was pitching some product by this dude I’ve seen before. He used to do those infomercials with that chick who claimed to be the most downloaded chick in the world, you know the one, the big busty blonde chick who effed herself up when she got herself pregnant. Idiot. I wanna call her Christy-something, but I got a feeling that’s not her name. Anyways, he had her on his old show, pitching some crap about making money off of selling ads in newspapers.

His new product is about some vitamin, I think, the World’s Greatest Vitamin, he calls it. In the first commercial, he had the white chick who’s now pitching the crap talking with another chick, and both of them had their breasts hanging out.

They were talking about all the money they could make by getting goofballs to sell the scam for them. If one person got another person hooked on the scam, the first person would get some kind of cut, something like 500 bucks. The more people a person could get to fall for the scam, the more money a person could make by doing nothing absolutely nothing. Sounds kind of pyramid like to me.

Still, the dude must be a genius, because he’s definitely figured out that the scam don’t sell well without a little T-N-T on the side. I substituted a “T” for an “A” because we don’t see a lot of bootie in the show.

Point I’m making is that I I probably wouldn’t have watched that infomercial over and over again if it didn’t regularly come on when I was looking for something to jerk off to at 2 in the morning.

First, I would watch him get spastic, pitching his crap; then this whitebread dude and chick would talk a little about the crap; then, some people would get on and lie about how they made money off the crap; then the two chicks with their breastases hanging out would get on; and then I would knock a round out. Afterwards, I would fall asleep, and wake up refreshed for the new day.

So, I guess that vitamin was good for something.

Pixie Sketch Drama

Jul 17, 2006 in Uncategorized

pixie.JPGApparently, the skit with Chappelle in black face caused him to rethink doing the 3rd season. He didn’t like how one white dude on the set was laughing at him in blackface.

I just saw the pixie skits about a week ago, and most of the material was crap. But what wasn’t crap was Chappelle in blackface. That was the funniest part of the pixie series. The second funniest part was when the pixie returned during the Ying Yang Twins Cribs segment, and at the end he said, “Even I’m embarrassed.” I must of broke out laughing, with gas coming all out my ass. It was killer. Because it was so true.

The rest was rather boring. The funniest non-black segment was with the Asian, and that part went on too long, with Chappelle killing himself and dropping down in LaLa’s bosom crack. The rest just sort of missed.

The Hispanic pixie was crappy until Charo popped up, and the pixie started doing blow. And the white pixie was lame, outside the second one at the urinal, at least, up until Ashy Larry saw him, then it also croaked a bad one also.

The good thing about the sketches was that there was still a moment of old, where I laughed out loud. The bad thing is that most of the sketches went on too long.

Who knows, maybe Dave would have fixed them. He might not have gone through every pixie sketch, and maybe he would have done some editing.

One of the things I’m noticing is how important it was to have Dave introduce the sketches, because Charlie and Larry suck at it. Larry’s a little bit better, a little more natural, but neither one of them is all that funny, and that takes away a big part of the show.

In the end, after seeing three episodes, they really should have left these shows in the vault. None of these episodes are even close to representing what the Dave Chappelle’s show was all about. And instead, while pitching the DVD while the show is still running, they come off mostly as cheap late night infomercials.

Makes me sad that things had to come to this.

24 Crap

Jul 17, 2006 in Uncategorized

I just read that Wayne Palmer will be the new president in the next season of 24, with his wife possibly being played by Regina King. I personally think it’s a smart move, seeing as a lot of people miss ole David Palmer. Although, Woodside, who plays Wayne, will have a great legacy to live up to. He’s following in the steps of two great presidential runs. I’m not including the dude who played Nikki Cox’s father in that Married with Children knockoff. He was just there to go down with the plane.

I’m guessing that’s how they’re going to treat Wayne Palmer, a man trying to reestablish the presidency after last year’s debacle, and a person trying to live up to the legacy of his assassinated brother, who was respected by all. This will work in Bauer’s favor, seeing that he will be on the run, with people trying to take him out.

I wonder if CTU will have anything to do with the storyline, with all the former characters, outside of Chloe, being knocked off over the past couple of seasons, especially last one. I just don’t think they need that CTU scenery just now.

I personally find it cool that they’re going with another black president. How many shows consistently try to present cool, respectable black character. It would have been easy for them to put another white dude in that position, or go the new-age route, and make the next president Hispanic. Who knows, maybe they could make Wayne Palmer’s VP an evil Mexican trying to make Palmer look like crap.

The Mascot is Dead

Jul 11, 2006 in Uncategorized

ChristinaMilianmasout.jpgDamn. They kicked my mascot off of Def Jam. All because they say her album ain’t been moving no units. Poppycock. Because I know for sure it’s been moving a unit around here.

How dare they. I put my time and money piggybacking off her success, and now I find out that she’s close to being a has-been. And I can’t have a has-been for a site mascot. That’s why I’m going to have to pick someone else to be the lead face of Super-Villain Style. Someone else who is, perhaps, slightly slutty and all too willing to take off her clothes, someone like, well, Christina Milian.

I would pick Rihanna. I mean, she is smart, at least smarter than Milian. Because on every web site I’ve been to they say she did that SOS song after Milian refused to do it. And now it’s a smash hit, with Rihanna sweating my television screen doing all that dirty dancing in the music video. The only problem with Rihanna is that she has a big forehead. A picture of that forehead might be too big to fit in my sidebar. Plus, she hasn’t slutted herself out enough where I think she’s earned the spot. She’s getting there, but I think she needs to get half-naked in a couple more magazines to earn the spot.

So, I’ll have to spend the next couple of months observing magazines to find my next break out star. The only criteria is that she has to be somewhat liberal with the goods. You know what I mean. I’m not talking about a chick who whores it out like Christina and Britney, because those two white trash chicks take it just a bit too far. But I wouldn’t mind someone who likes doing a lot of videos all half-naked and all. I mean, I’m all for a woman’s right to express herself. Like my future former mascot liked to sing, a chick gotta sweat her weave out a little.

celestina.JPGHopefully, a chick will break out in the next few months, and then, maybe it will be easier to make a decision. I might even choose an actress this time. The only thing I refuse to choose is a model. Models aren’t worth crap. They don’t do nothing but stand around and be half-naked. My girl has to be accomplished and talented. That’s makes me feel all the more worthy when she decides to get naked for me.

Who knows, maybe a video vixen will turn singer or actress. Maybe hit the big time. I’m hoping for Celestina Henry. I hear she’s a actress and a dancer. Maybe she’ll get cast in a big drama, or perhaps a CW black comedy, and by black comedy, I mean a comedy that has black people embarrassing themselves reading crappy dialogue and doing minstrel type scenes. If she picks the right vehicle, and “exposes” the right amount of talent, Mrs. Face could possibly be the new face for the new century.

At least a brother can hope.

Why Do People Think Tyler Perry Is Funny?

Jul 10, 2006 in Uncategorized

tylergay.JPGWhat’s the deal with Madea? Why do people find her so funny? I just don’t get it. It’s a big black “gay?” dude dressed up in drag. And his jokes? Tyler Perry delivers them like they’re supposed to be funny, but all they do is fall flat. They’re just not funny, and neither is he.

I saw him on Oprah one time doing a Madea skit. They recently replayed it. And the whole bit was totally unfunny. Oprah and Tyler Perry were laughing like it was, but it was all a complete piece of crap, sort of like Tyler Perry’s career.

His movies are one-dimensional “Waiting to Exhale” type crap. And that new television show, House of Payne, is truly a house of pain. It pained me to watch all four episodes that I did watch, especially seeing as Allan Payne, the lead in the show, seems to have a weird eye problem. Those buggers always look watery and dazed, like he’s just been hit over the head and he’s looking off at nothing in the distance.

I caught a couple of episodes late at night a couple of weeks ago. They were showing them back to back daily on one of the uhf stations. It’s about this dude who’s a fireman. He works beside his father. And I don’t think either of them has an outside job.

I thought I heard that firefighters make little pay. They’re sort of like councilmen and aldermen, they supplement their position with a “real job” on the outside. But apparently, both of these dudes make major dough fighting fires because they both own houses next to each other, at least until Allan Payne’s crackhead wife burns down theirs.

I don’t exactly know why she burned down their house. At first I thought it was from her trying to light up that crack pipe. But then they start talking about gasoline and arson. And she goes on the run. So, I don’t know. They must have explained it during a show I missed.

The last full episode I watched had Allan Payne’s kid dressing up in his mother’s clothes so he could smell her. His grandfather catches him one day and believes the boy is gay, but it’s all explained away in the end, with Allan Payne taking the tutu or whatever and sniffing it out himself.

Of course, I still believe the boy is a gay. I don’t care how much you miss your mother, you don’t go around “drinking milk” and walking around in your mama’s clothes. You just can’t explain away sissy behavior like that.

By the way, the grandfather is one of the most unfunniest, most annoying characters ever to appear on television. The dude who plays the part ain’t funny one bit. I think they need to do a little recasting on that part, and maybe tone his hatefulness down, because I just can’t stand him. And it ain’t Aunt Esther hate. That was funny hate. I’m talking about real hate. I hate his fat ass. There’s nothing forgiving about that character at all.

So, in closing, Tyler Perry sucks as a writer and he may be a gay. I just get a vibe off that dude that tells me that the boy is light in the loafer. I tell ya, if he ain’t homo, I ain’t poor. And I sho’ is poor. So, you come to your own conclusions.

Portable Apps

Jul 07, 2006 in Uncategorized

Portable Apps

What is a portable app? It’s an application that doesn’t have to be installed normally for it to work. A downloaded archive file can be extracted to a folder. And after it’s extracted, the software can be used like a regularly installed application.

Some people install portable apps on their usb thumb drives so they can use familiar software whereever they go. I use it at work because some of the software I enjoy using isn’t installed on my office computer, including Firefox. There’s a version of the Mozilla client installed, but I like using Firefox more. Plus, I can always just delete the folder Firefox is in if I want to delete the client from the system.

I also use Filezilla to do maintenance on my website through ftp. Gimp can be used to do photo editing on the go. And although I despise IM, there’s even the free IM client, Gaim, since I doubt most work computers have an IM client installed.

Net Neutrali… What?

Jul 06, 2006 in Uncategorized

“I ain’ts be supportin no net neuroology!”

What is this Net Neu-tra-lity? I can’t even type it, let alone say it. But congress, or some shitty committee — I don’t know. I don’t follow that political crap — like yesterday, or the day before, assassinated some legislation on the subject. I don’t know if the bill was for or against net neutrality. I think it was against, so I guess it was a good thing it was taken out. Who knows.

There’s this funny clip here that shows how much our elected officials know about the Internet, which is very little. The even funnier thing is that I know only a little bit more than they do. So, this post will be a hard one for my little ole’ brain. So, let’s get down to the nitty gritty.

From what I’ve been reading and hearing, it seems like those that oppose net neutrality oppose it because it would negate their ability to set prices for content providers that use up a large amount of their bandwidth.

Let’s say you’re on Comcast, and you love music. You have an ipod, and you love itunes. And let’s say that you’re not the only person on Comcast who loves itunes. Comcast discovers that people connecting to itunes and downloading content are eating up about 10 percent of their bandwidth.

From this information, Comcast decides that it should charge Apple a fee for this bandwidth usage. If Apple doesn’t agree, Comcast can continue throttling all information from all itunes servers that try to go through Comcast servers. Throttling is when a Internet Service Provider purposely slows down or corrupts bits of information sent through its servers to individual users. In fact, some isps do it today to internet protocols like bittorrent because they believe these bits of information might be eating up excessive amounts of their bandwidth.

This essentially means that if Apple doesn’t pay Comcast the right to send data through Comcast’s servers, itunes will be blocked for most Comcast customers, or at the very least, it will a take a long time to access the itunes site and download content from there.

Right now, isps don’t have the right to charge other companies for sending data through their networks. Why? Because we live under net neutrality right now. Instead, today, like stated above, they simply make it hard for their users to access data that comes from servers they believe might be using up too much of their bandwidth.

But this isn’t the only reason isps dislike net neutrality. They dislike it because companies like Comcast don’t like competing companies using their network to deliver similar products, essentially taking customers away from them using their own network.

Comcast, itself, is a content provider. It also provides phone services. In the future, Comcast may want to deliver their content over the Internet, all the movies and sports and cable channels, supported through fees and advertisements.

And until they decide if they want to do this, they may want to halt or slow down other companies who want to do the same thing, companies, like say, YouTube, or Google Video, or perhaps NetFlix. They may also want to slow down the growth of companies like Skype or Vonage, who are essentially providing cheap to free phone services over their lines. If Comcast could charge fees to these services, they could possibly slow down their adoptions, or put them out of business. I doubt if a company like Skype would be able to continue with free computer-to-landline services if Comcast and AT&T hit them with large bandwidth bills every month.

Now, I’m sure some of you are probably wondering what the problem is? Why shouldn’t Comcast and AT&T and other isps be able to charge certain companies for sending data through their networks? Well, here’s the problem, they already charge people for that bandwidth usage, me and you.

Those isps charge monthly fees for access to their networks. And companies like Google and YouTube and Apple already pay network, server, and bandwidth bills to access the Internet. So, if I’m paying to access the Internet, and they’re paying to access the Internet, why shouldn’t we all be able to connect? And why should there be extra fees on top of those everyone already pays to make those connections.

And ask yourself this, who really will end up paying those extra fees? Who always ends up paying those extra fees? You got it, you and me. The consumer always ends up footing the bill.

So, tell me, I pay my money to AT&T to access content on the Internet, and I pay Itunes my money to access their content, why shouldn’t I be able to get my content in a timely manner according to that fee I paid AT&T.

If I pay for a 1.5 connection, why shouldn’t my connection speeds between itunes and my computer be at 1.5 or close to it? Isn’t that what I’m paying for. If AT&T wants to add limits to the amount of bandwidth an individual can use, I see no problem with that. At least that would be upfront of them. At least they would be taking money from out of my hand instead of out of my ass. But no, they want to be sneaky about it. They want to charge greater fees without looking like they’re charger greater fees.

And that to me is unethical and deceitful.
