Couple points about this video:

1. If the future of the Internet is some guy posting a link to a YouTube video and forcing me to watch a stupid 12 min. video, instead of concisely synthesizing the idea in something I can read, then yes, I hope the Internet does die.
2. The chick in that video has nice boobs...
3. ...but she is an attention whore. You might remember her from a blog in which she claimed she'd commit suicide in 90 days, or a blog in which she offered to sleep with any virgin who agreed to fight for net neutrality. To paraphrase a famous tattoo in Memento, don't believe her lies.
4. This video has a lot of claims with few facts. Fortunately, CreateBlog has a Friendly Local Computer Scientist that knows this video is bullshit. Simple reason: Business. An unrestricted ISP would fare much better in the market place than a restricted one. Second reason: The EU. 'Nough said (but I can supply more reasons if need be).
5. If nothing else, a group of hackers can just hack the Gibson.

Addendum: I totally would have taken her up on this offer, too, except that I didn't meet the one and only criterion. This is the only time in my life when not being a virgin completely f**ked me over -- no pun intended.

(one of the two, actually) ... And can't you just pretend?

No, she'd be able to tell because -- and I don't mean to brag -- but I'm really, really good at sex.
