OT: Burger King Trolled Customers to Perfectly Explain Net N…

       Burger King created a "fast lane" for Whoppers in the
    commercial, which allowed customers who paid more to get their
    burger faster.  Without the net neutrality rules that the
    Federal Communications Commission repealed last year, internet
    companies could charge customers more for faster access to
    certain online content, just like the Whopper fast lane. They
    could prioritize some content over others (chicken sandwiches
    over Whoppers, for example) and throttle service on content
    for some users (very, very slowly handing over the bag).
    Look, I'm not one to gush over brands, and at the end of the
    day Burger King's goal is to appeal to woke millennials so it
    can sell more burgers. But it created a really useful PSA in
    the process, which also points viewers to an online petition
    where they can protest the change in the law.  Oh, and in case
    you missed it, there's even a dig at FCC Chair Ajit Pai at the
    end.
