  3. PineappleGummies June 23, 2012 at 2:40 pm

    This comment is a joke right?

  5. PineappleGummies June 23, 2012 at 4:31 pm

    WTF is SOPA??? Anyways I totally defend Kate. Peanut butter breath is the worst and it gets stuck in your teeth and gums. If it gets on your lips well you are going to look stupid until you reapply your lipstick. I wish people would think before they start bad mouthing her. I mean sure I wouldn’t have picked the same dress as her but it’s her wedding so who am I to judge her on her special day but at the same time it was kinda blah. Also really people do we need to Tebow for every little thing?

    Its this faggoty looking generation that think this type of media is more important that actual news and relevant crap.. Gossip channels should be shut down, who gives a fuck about kardashians..

  7. weejockpoopongmcplop June 23, 2012 at 4:40 pm

    Who the fuck is Tim Tebow?

    An ISP gets payed to connect you to the web, beyond that, they have very little control and no guarantee of profit. I can use that connection to access any content. On TV, they control all of the content and make all of the money from it. They want to maintain that monopoly. Sure, they take a piece of the internet pie, but all they can get is a piece, what they want is the whole thing.

    It is stupid how the news seems to be nearly totally consumed with fluff in America in England like it 10%-5% fluff if you watch the BBC but even if you watch the privet channels there only 20-30% fluff.

    Guys this is why you need to fund PBS more and give it enough money to cover stuff well because then they don’t have to worry about ratings on news broadcasts which factual news doesn’t bring the masses like fluff news, but atleast you know you have a factual service when you need it.

    @Bruce1949919 STFU, TURN YOUR TV ON CNN, AND SHOVE YOUR FAVORITE DILDO IN YOUR ASS…

  11. hardw0od June 23, 2012 at 6:53 pm

    Liberal? The bill was sponsored by a Republican congressman from Texas.

  12. Bruce1949919 June 23, 2012 at 7:32 pm

    You are truly a fat head with a big mouth Cenk. Shut UP>

  13. Bruce1949919 June 23, 2012 at 8:27 pm

    SOPA didn’t destroy the internet because the people pushed their reps to defeat it.  Another Liberal B.S. bill.

  14. didntknowhtonamethis June 23, 2012 at 8:51 pm

    @generalmaximus5 Thx. The song or the programming?

  15. didntknowhtonamethis June 23, 2012 at 8:57 pm

    @weedipikia I get my news from TYT,Daily Show, Democracy Now,and Maddow. I scan through cable outlets for laughter sometimes.

  16. weedipikia June 23, 2012 at 9:11 pm

    I totally agree. I love these kinds of stories. Anything that sticks it to cable news is awesome.

    Whenever I watch CNN it’s painful. If a hurricane is coming, CNN suddenly turns into The Weather Channel and there goes a whole news cycle. Something happens with the royal family, they become a celebrity gossip channel. MSNBC is a little better but their weekend marathons of prison shows has to stop. So on the weekends I watch Fox News, as bad as it is. Competition is great.

  22. MiamiRSVP June 23, 2012 at 11:59 pm

     He also keeps Marijuana aka Cannabis prohibited on the Federal level, hiding the facts backed by scienece by our gretaest universities. PLZ SPREAD VIRAL!!

  23. MiamiRSVP June 24, 2012 at 12:14 am

    Lamar Smith is the Author of those BILLS…… research him and SPREAD THIS VIRAL. PLZ… this has much more to do with blackmail on the political spectrum, Lamar Smith is the CEO/Chairman of the board of Reps in the House of Congress. He keeps his moves silent and hurts many, he is BIG TIME invested and partnered with the private Prison industries nationwide and is connected Federally with the other top notch scumbags ripping off America and the world with the failed war on drugs.

    This bill and its supporters can kiss my finnish, the-red-are-dead, internet-loving, goverment-hating blue and white ass.

  25. baseballfan24100 June 24, 2012 at 12:53 am

    When he said they would blacklist u laughed so hard cause that is scary

  26. briannebiggie June 24, 2012 at 1:26 am

    I like you more with every review and video I watch of yours. You have a good head on your shoulders and I couldn’t agree with you more. You actually know what you’re talking about, props to you for not just saying “the bill is bad” but for explaining it in all it’s unfair glory.

  27. knight2battle June 24, 2012 at 1:26 am

    WE MUST RAPE THESE GOVERMENT OFFICIALS COW DICKS!

    Theyd love it..

  28. aviv1312able June 24, 2012 at 2:25 am

    the fuck is that supossed to mean?

  29. adamskythehedgehog June 24, 2012 at 3:13 am

    What happened to the bill?

  30. RAAMsocute June 24, 2012 at 4:07 am

    why turn this racist?

  31. GBincProductions June 24, 2012 at 4:36 am

    Because that’s all bullshit.

  32. Perplesso12 June 24, 2012 at 5:13 am

    were going back in time. Sopa is taking away the internet and we are running out of gas to use for our cars. eventually it’s going to be the 1800s again, when we use horse carriages and reading dictionaries instead of searching the web

  33. MrMasterSmasher June 24, 2012 at 6:05 am

    0:53

    So true. After all, the same thing happened to Megaupload.

  35. Wildfox01 June 24, 2012 at 6:37 am

    I couldn’t agree more, well said Rohan! It’s like NAZI Germany all over again!

  36. CrazyGam3r786 June 24, 2012 at 7:29 am

    im confused…. what does KONY2012 have to do with SOPA??

  37. GunerzPGBC June 24, 2012 at 8:25 am

    I’m PRETTY sure that if George Washington came back to life today and saw there was a black president he would either die of a heart attack or commit suicide…. The racist slave owning honkey he was.

  38. SciFiWebcam June 24, 2012 at 8:43 am

    This is a complete injustice. You’re absolutely right, Jeremy. I post ideas for stories I write myself, and YouTube keeps blocking them, cuz apparently it has offensive material. Offensive to who? All my ideas are completely family oriented, I don’t criticize any religion, race or person, and I make sure the drawings I post along with my ideas are not obscene in any way.

  39. Lacusness June 24, 2012 at 8:48 am

    How are those two related?

  40. AaronUK1000 June 24, 2012 at 9:45 am

    SUBSCRIBED, all people continue using websites like piratebay using a program called hotspot shield, it is free and it works

  41. EdwardTheTechGeek June 24, 2012 at 10:24 am

    STOP CISPA!

  42. HowToVidsOfficial June 24, 2012 at 10:29 am

    Search on YouTube for a guy called Leokimvideo. He made a video about a LEGO Ninjago review he did that got taken down, and he was talking about how it didn’t include any copyrighted material, and it was just his footage he recorded on his camera. Check it out.

  43. Malik Bayati June 24, 2012 at 11:08 am

    If the Internet goes down why would people wanna buy computers?
    Millions of people buy computers like each week!
    Image…
    The people buying old geezer typewriters to type a Document.

  44. BohmbBohmb June 24, 2012 at 11:25 am

    It’s funny because KONY has been inactive for 13 years, plus you ask any kid in Uganda and they’ll tell you that they haven’t heard anything about KONY IN FOREVER. Let’s do some researching before commenting blindly.

  45. TheTrojantroy June 24, 2012 at 11:43 am

    It’s funny that jeremy says stuff like this now, yet he’s against KONY 2012…

  46. StuffedAnimalPlanet June 24, 2012 at 11:46 am

    Technically speaking, though, it was members of the US government which caused SOPA to be shelved.

    Oh…Well have a nice day.
