[Cut to Jennifer in her set]
Jennifer: Good evening. I’m Jennifer Owens and welcome to Net Effect where a prominent internet users help explain what’s going on in the wold of technology. Tonight’s topic, net neutrality. Joining me to discuss it is a tech blogger, Samantha Shepard.
[Cut to Samantha]
Samantha: It’s really good to be out of house.
[Cut to Jennifer]
Jennifer: Aspiring Instagram celebrity Chris Konko.
[Cut to Chris]
Chris: I got no filter.
[Cut to Jennifer]
Jennifer: Self employed CEO Mark Falanga.
[Cut to Mark]
Mark: Tremendous. [smiles]
[Cut to Jennifer]
Jennifer: And prolific YouTube commenter, Veronica Davis.
[Cut to Veronica]
Veronica: First…
[Cut to everybody]
Jennifer: Now, most people barely understand what net neutrality is. Mark, would you care to explain?
Mark: Sure. [Cut to Mark] Well, you see, the net in net neutrality is actually short for internet. Which some people believe is also the web. And please excuse all the technical jargon. Who am I? Bill Jobs? [laughing]
[Cut to Jennifer]
Jennifer: Okay. Samantha, what is net neutrality to you?
[Cut to Samantha]
Samantha: Well, I think it’s like with the emojis how they made them in different skin tones. But then, they switch back to like a neutral yellow. And like, the one with the mouth, that’s just a straight line. So, you can’t tell what it’s thinking. So, like it’s, [puts her index finger straight over her lips] like that. You know?
[Cut to Jennifer]
Jennifer: So, you think it’s about the internet being neutral?
[Cut to Chris]
Chris: Yeah, and why would anybody want that? The whole reason I go on the internet is to read really mean comments about people. And if everyone’s neutral, what are the comments gonna be? “This video is fine. I am okay with this. I didn’t notice what race that guys was.” I mean who wants that?
[Cut to Veronica]
Veronica: And news flash! It’s not neutral, okay? That damn dress is white and gold! And if you think it’s blue and black, you need to get your eyes fixed. Coz trust me, no one has ever mistaken black for gold. No one has ever come up to me in street and be like, “Are you gold?”
[Cut to Jennifer]
Jennifer: I am sorry. But I still don’t think we’ve nailed down what net neutrality actually means.
[Cut to Mark]
Mark: Jennifer, this might be a little over your head. Let me see if I can explain. Internet, startups, neutrality.
[Cut to Samantha, Jennifer and Mark]
Jennifer: What?
Samantha: No, actually, I think it’s more like, okay… [Samantha joins her two fists] So, here’s the internet. And here is the stipple and open it up, [Samantha opens her fists] and here’s all the people. Right?
Jennifer: That’s new neutrality?
[Cut to Chris]
Chris: Wait, wait. I got better one. [Chris puts his hands in clapping position] Put your finger in here. [Cut to Chris, Samantha and Jennifer] What? I can show you the internet.
Jennifer: No, I’m not touching your fingers.
Chris: Fine! Then I just want to point out that Veronica is color blind, coz that dress is black and blue.
Veronica: Say it to my face.
[Cut to everybody. Chris and Veronica stand up in anger.]
Chris: I just did!
Veronica: Say it to my gold face you blue son of a bitch!
Mark: Hey, both of you! Both of you, sit down. Okay? This is tearing us apart! [Cut to Mark] You wanna know what net neutrality is really about? It is about pornos. It is about how fast get pornos when we want pornos. Coz when my wife goes to the store, I got 15 minutes. That is why net neutrality is the single most important issue in the history of this Unite States.
[Cut to everybody]
[Chris stands up and starts clapping]
[audience start clapping with Chris]
Jennifer: Okay! Okay, okay, okay! So, none of you have the slightest idea what net neutrality actually means?
Mark: No.
Samantha: No.
Chris: Blue and black!
Jennifer: Okay, alright. Then in that case, I’d like to welcome Vinton Cerf, who is widely credited as being one of the founding fathers of the internet.
[Cut to Vinton Cerf]
Vinton Cerf: Hi, there.
[Cut to everybody]
Jennifer: And he’s now gonna walk around and slap each of you in the face.
Vinton Cerf: Thank you for the opportunity.
[Vinton Cerf slaps Mark. Then Vinton Cerf slaps Chris. Then Vinton Cerf slaps Samantha]
Samantha: Harder!
[cheers and applause]
[Vinton Cerf raises his hand to slap Veronica]
Veronica: Yeah, I think you better think about it, son.
[Vinton Cerf walks away]
Jennifer: Great! Well, that’s the entire show. Up next is Cable and Bits, the show about computers by dogs. Goodnight.
