John Oliver’s Net Neutrality Call Bogs Down FCC Site - Digits - WSJ

Sign of the times

"At the end of the 13-minute segment, Oliver flashed the FCC website for public comment and passionately encouraged viewers to go to the site, calling on anyone who had ever snarkily commented on a YouTube video to hone their skills for good.
'This is the moment you were made for commenters. Like Ralph Macchio, you’ve been honing your skills, waxing cars and painting fences. Well guess what? Now it’s time to do some (expletive) karate…. We need you to get out there and for once in your lives, focus your indiscriminate rage in a useful direction. Seize your moment my lovely trolls. Turn on “capslock” and fly my pretties! Fly!'
And take to the web they did. On Monday afternoon, the FCC tweeted about difficulties with their site."
