The Internet Puts Up A Billboard In Front Of Lamar Smith's Office: Don't Mess With The Internet
from the will-he-notice? dept
You may recall that, back in March, on a whim based on a discussion at SXSW, Alexis Ohanian and Erik Martin (from Reddit) teamed up with Holmes Wilson (from Fight for the Future) to crowdfund a billboard to go up in Lamar Smith's district in Austin. It turns out that you internet people don't mind paying after all, and helped fund two billboards which have now gone up in Smith's district, including one across the street from his office in San Antonio, and a second one on "Lamar Blvd" in Austin
Oh, and Ohanian's BreadPig is selling a "Don't Mess with the Internet" t-shirt, where each sale will help fund Fight for the Future and its new Internet Defense League -- which you should join, in part because if you do cool things to help defend the internet, they hand out totally awesome medals.

Re: Re: Re:
If you mean Lamar Smith having a frontal lobe, he doesn't. He has a bill slot on the front of his head that only accepts $100 USD bills from lobbyists.

Being in Austin, I'm ashamed that this man is our representative.
