Senator Ted Stevens’ InterTubes

- Add a Comment

[ratings]
To better demonstrate the theory of how information travels online, Senator Ted Stevens has teamed up with research scientists from Helsinki to develop a series of InterTubes - the world’s first Internet data floatation devices.
When submerged in ethernet liquid, InterTubes will carry passengers safely across any type of digital divide. Stevens is quite proud of his invention, claiming that they took “enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material” to complete. With this new system, the young Senator hopes that your personal internets will no longer be delayed.
Stevens also claims that his InterTubes will be delivered on “big trucks” in time for the 2006 holiday shopping season. Net profits are projected to be in the gigabit range - should analysts remain neutral.
Next up for the Stevens development team: an Internet Cerfboard.

It’s really hard to believe he’s even still alive. He was a Congressman from Alaska, appointed by Nixon Administration “hero”, Gov. Walter Hickle when I lived in the bush at Coffman Cove on Prince of Wales Island in 1970 - 1972. He was old then. . . .

[...] Funny images were being distributed, like this tube maniac, this truck and truckloads more. Or even better, when FlickrTubes got clogged they announced a colourcontest where participants need to fill some tubes (1.124 by now). People even started to make T-shirt designs to fun with the guy: The first one to pop up was this shirt design followed by one based of the famous tube screensaver, one based on the tubes filled with porn, one collecting votes to get printed by threadless and many more. Also, You’re the man now dog couldn’t leave behind: they’ve got Ted in a tube, a simulation of downloading a internet and many many more. [...]
