Burger King apparently feels so strongly about the repeal of Net Neutrality that they created a ridiculous video to explain it to people, using the Whopper.
First, here’s what they wrote under the video:
The repeal of Net Neutrality is a hot topic in America, but it can be very difficult to understand. That’s why the BURGER KING® brand created WHOPPER® Neutrality, a social experiment that explains the effects of the repeal of Net Neutrality by putting it in terms anyone can understand: A WHOPPER® sandwich.
This effort aims to help people understand how the repeal of Net Neutrality will impact their lives.
The BURGER KING® brand believes the Internet should be like the WHOPPER® sandwich: the same for everyone.

And now the video:
Actually I think this video is very good from one perspective. While Burger King is suggesting that this madness will occur without the government safeguards in place, what they are really demonstrating is just how absurd the arguments are against Net Neutrality.
I mean who would actually do this to their customers? The answer is NOBODY.
In the free market, anyone who values a growing business and a growing customer base would never treat customers this way. And that goes the same for internet companies. They don’t need the government to tell them they can’t do this.
