1. KICK

[Phoenix61]

2. That is actually a great way to explain it nt

[dewsgirl]

3. I love how at the end he's drinking out of Ajit Pai's Reeses Cup.

[Kittycow]

26. Oh, I missed that on my teeny phone.

So funny

[Beartracks]

35. In case people don't know what you're talking about...

... like me!

FCC chair's mug (and I don't mean photo):

4. Fabulous!

For all things, simplicity of the message is the most effective way to communicate and advocate.

As Sly Stone once said about his songs, "I write so that even dummies understand"....if the Dems can simplify their messages at all levels, they can get a huge amount accomplished.

[DemocracyMouse]

16. Simplicity in communication is an art.

It's harder than it seems. Requires a deep understanding of the issues in the context of popular culture spanning all the generations currently voting....

[Gabi Hayes]

36. Heh. Try teaching using common multiples to determine common denominators, then comparing

the values of several fractions, all in one lesson, without having a chance to practice the first two steps!

Talk about bleeding from the eyeballs

Fourth graders

Today

Hilarious!

[UpInArms]

5. Kicking this back up!

[lunasun]

6. Thanks good way to get people thinking

[NewJeffCT]

7. wow

and, that seems to be the real Burger King account on YouTube?

Great job BK - I'm not a big hamburger person, but I may have to at least get some BK fries in the near future

[erronis]

8. With buggers, if you don't like the delivery system, you can go elsewhere or make your own.

With internet in most areas, if you don't like it ---- tough. Unless you want smoke signals or tin cans.

No, the Pai FCC is enforcing a monopoly on the US. Almost seems like this administration is trying to cripple the US economy.....

Oh, of course.

[Fla Dem]

9. Good on Burger King. One way to educate people.

[Beartracks]

41. I love the "You, again?" poster in your sig line!

Instant classic!

[Thunderbeast]

10. Priority pricing is everywhere!

My wife and I just paid $70 extra to sit together in economy class on an international flight!

[Beartracks]

42. And don't forget "Convenience Fees."

"Gee, how convenient that you provide me with the product I paid you for!"

===============

[Auggie]

11. Interesting way to sell Whoppers and promote the brand ...

take on an issue totally unrelated to your business and hope the action goes viral. The subliminal "I love my Whopper" is working here too. This is really clever (and underhanded). I do approve -- wonderful demonstration.

[ConnorMarc]

12. This was good...

Damn good.

[blaze]

13. Pretty brilliant marketing. nt

[Different Drummer]

14. K&R! n/t

15. #awesomesauce

More companies should apply this tact to a subject that stirs passion, such as Net Neutrality. If they happen to make a few extra bucks doing so, a bonus. The right thing will always win in the end.

[geardaddy]

17. Love the Burger King drinking out of Ajit Pai's ridiculous cup at the end.

Pai is such a dingleberry.

[rpannier]

37. It was funny

Only way it could be better was if he drank from it then hit Pai over the head with it.

[geardaddy]

38. That would be awesome!

[japple]

18. We are screwn!!!1111 :-( :-(

[MrScorpio]

19. Kudos to the King.

[BobTheSubgenius]

20. Clever!

Entertaining, too. Still, it's not that hard a concept to grasp.

[burrowowl]

21. Good job Burger King

[cp]

22. Well done!

[Awsi Dooger]

23. Burger King has always dominated the planet

I loved growing up in Miami, home of Burger King and seldom more than a block or two from Burger King no matter where you are.

I'll make sure to have two Whoppers tomorrow.

And I'll laugh at anyone who prefers In N Out, otherwise known as minuscule and mediocre

[JDC]

24. Should show that to the Dotard

[stlsaxman]

25. Wait- didn't they, like, move to Canada????

anyways- Bravo BK!!!

[moondust]

27. Not bad, except

an ISP is mainly a delivery service for bits and bytes "produced" elsewhere.

[harun]

28. Magnificient

[Ferrets are Cool]

29. This is farking brilliant!

[Johnny2X2X]

30. Comcast is throttling some apps

I am sure of it. Where I live Comcast has partnered with Netflix, so they offer the Netflix App on their platform, you can search and access your Netflix account on the cable box. I also have the Amazon App on my Smart TV, when I stream Amazon shows, it is absolutely slow as heck and no bandwidth left over to efficiently surf the web on my phone. I use the check my speed website and it's much lower seemingly when I stream Amazon.

[GaryM]

31. Good, but misses the more insidious aspect

Without net neutrality, ISPs can hold their customers hostage, even the ones paying high prices. They do this by demanding money from companies to avoid throttling of their content. Doesn’t matter how much the customer pays the ISP, they are still throttled if the website has not paid additional money to the ISPs.

You can use the Wehe app (android and iOS devices) to see if your ISP is throttling.

[JCanete]

40. yeah, I appreciate BK for this, but that is the far more dangerous part, and a

stranglehold on messaging and news back in the hands of 4 or 5 major mega-corporations(which they had with TV until the internet fucked up their little monopoly) will almost certainly follow.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

32. Marketing is an amazing thing.

[appalachiablue]

33. K & R Good on BK, Food & Net Neutrality!

[elleng]

34. EXCELLENT!

[PatrickforO]

39. Brooklynite, this is brilliant!
