What is it that they say about a picture being worth a thousand words.

I recently read, and I sadly can't recall where, that someone had attended a taping of the Daily Show and -- in the Q&A session that takes place between Jon Stewart and his audience before each show -- questioned why the show had yet to utter a word about SOPA and PIPA.

On a day when SOPA was a big topic of conversation on the web, I figure this is a good way to close it out: A four minute video that pretty comprehensively explains what SOPA is and why it's a cancer to the web we've all come to know and love.

In case you were wondering, Wikipedia, Reddit and Boing Boing all followed through with their promise to go dark in protest of the, as Charles Barkley would say, TURRIBLE Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

Despite the fact that the festering port-o-potty of a piracy prevention bill -- the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) -- is effectively dead, Wikipedia, Reddit and Boing Boing are all going forward with plans to go dark tomorrow.

Oh well this is certainly ripe: Texas Republican Rep.

And no, Al Gore is not one of them.

In the event you haven't heard, our geniuses in Congress, the same wildly unpopular people who today declared pizza to be a vegetable, are currently considering passing laws -- the PROTECT-IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) -- that would flat-out endanger the internet as well all know it.
