Snoop Dogs O'Reilly



Warning: This video isn't for work or around the kids, or for the easily offended, for that matter. Proceed accordingly.

I'm not a big fan of Snoop Dog, but this is a pretty good piece of footage that you won't hear on Extra!, Entertainment Tonight or even Countdown With Keith Olbermann.

In this clip, Snoop takes aim at Billy's head, and connects.

Okay, I'll admit, it's amateurish and childish, no doubt, but it's nice that the Internet is able to bring us coverage of Snoops metaphorical blows to O'Reilly that we other wise wouldn't hear.

And that's precisely why the government wants to end Net neutrality, and why everyone should be writing their representatives in Congress to make sure that the Net maintains neutrality. It's the last frontier we have left, and that's why the government wants to take it away from us. Sensible regulations, yes, but I'm sure sooner or later, a Repube administration will take away the Net's neutrality, but I digress.

Anyway, does this mean that we can expect another Billy boycott? France must be awfully happy.

Are there going to be Snoop CD smashing contests now, vis a vis The Dixie Chicks?

You'd better watch yourself, Dixie Dog - the radical religious right and Bill O'Reilly's army of one are going to come after you.

Hi, couple things:

1. We don't actually have "net neutrality" in law right now, so government action would be to create new regulations, not to keep the "status quo" per se.

2. If ISPs do set up Internet "fast lanes" that wouldn't block YouTube -- in fact, Google is probably one of the companies that would sign up immediately.

Full disclosure: I work with Hands Off the Internet, which opposes the Dorgan-Snowe law. And we understand that anti-competitive behavior is indeed possible -- but that's what antitrust laws are for.
