KCB 201: Love a funny little cartoon with a serious message?..

In Virtual Cultures, we're bang in the middle of discussing the freedom of the internet, who should own it, and how to regulate content.

I have presented my views on internet regulation in a previous post [basically, I think popularity for the internet has spawned from citizens' growing desire to communicate on an unregulated platform in an increasingly regulated and limited media environment, thus the internet should be free from government and corporate interaction, and remain one of the final bastions of free and unregulated communication]

Anyway, I found this funny little cartoon (you'll probably need a fast-ish connection) which discusses the US government's upcoming policy on internet regulation and, should it go ahead, what might become of the online environment. Interesting.

The cartoon is connected to Hands Off the Internet, a great website dealing with all the issues of online regulation.
