SOPA Uproar Leads Area Man to Discover Internet for First Time
A special editorial from area man Bob McCulloghy
So this past Sunday night, I was flipping through the most recent issue of Life Magazine, watching some good oleā public broadcast television ā and I heard about this SOPA thing. Barbara Calhoun was reporting that if SOPA happened, this thing called āThe Internetā would start getting regulated by the government. Now Iām not normally one to judge the government ā theyāve never done anything to me. Every day, I wake up and have a bowl of cornmeal in front me so I assume they’re doing their job.
But Mrs. Calhoun seemed pretty riled up about this āInternetā business, and that told me it must be something important ā sheās never steered me wrong. So I went to one of those ācafĆ©ā places where all the kids go, and decided to check out this āInternetā for myselfā¦ AND HOT DAMN! THIS THINGāS AMAZING! Did you know you can read the news on the computer? I finally found the Reagan Issue of Time that Iāve been looking for!!! AND THE PORN!!! I cannot tell you how many times Iāve gotten paper cuts with my nudie magazines. Those things sting like the dickens! But now, that will never be a problem!
We should really spread the word about this whole Internet deal! I canāt even imagine how many people are missing out on this great creation. The government needs to at least give this thing a little bit of trial period before they go and do anything with it, because I sure donāt see anything wrong with it ā and if more adults got the chance to see the Internet for themselves, I think theyād agree.
Shortly after making this statement, Mr. McCulloghy was arrested by the FBI for streaming episodes of The Andy Griffith Show. Nobody has heard from him since.
