Report from the Edge: New Net Neutrality Group Formed


wearetheweblady.jpg From bizarro land comes this new group, or at least new web site, called “We are the Web.” It purports to be advancing the cause of net neutrality.

However, I leave it to everybody else to determine if this is a joke, a serious stand by some truly offbeat people or a marketing ploy for the site’s parent company, an “agency” called space 150.

WeAreTheWeb has a jaw-dropping music video advocating net neutrality that features “celebrities,” including a woman dressed up in some kind of space outfit (see picture above), a man in a Peter Pan ensemble who says he’s a fairy and a man who calls himself “Tron Guy,” who is an aficionado of both costumes and computer technology.

If nothing else, WeAreTheWeb will give you some insight into just how idiosyncratic human beings can be.

This is real

Peter Pan and Tron are real internet celebrities who would never have gotten big without net neutrality

Wow. That's really, really strange!

Seems sincere, though... ;)
