This Spartan Life, our favorite talk show in Halo space, just posted a hilarious video blog entry making the case for network neutrality. In some ways, this is the perfect medium for illustrating a threat to virtual spaces, conveying more in a couple of minutes than several weeks worth of op-eds. Enjoy it now before the party's over.

(In case you missed it, here's TSL's interview with Bob.)

This blog entry does make the case far better than weeks of op-eds, as Ben notes, and I think it is due to the affective nature of the digital world-- seeing the virtual space fade and recalling the panic that often accampanies connectivity breakdown is far more compelling an experience than reading words about the experience.

Here is another nice example of using digital tools and distrubtion to communication a public policy issue:
