ComcastifyJS – Sometimes images just load too damned fast

Love that the onion uses humor to recruit. Too bad it's not something that's actually useful somehow as well!

It could be useful for people campaigning for net neutrality if they want a "This is what downloads may become like:" with an image on their site.

It needs a whitelist of giant corporations like Netflix that acquiesce to Comcast's fees. Images should only load slowly on poor websites.

It's friday, just one last push to add comcastifyjs.fixMyImagesLoadingSoFast() to the build process before the weekend...

This appears to be the code behind "These Koalas Are Refusing To Load In Support Of Net Neutrality": http://www.clickhole.com/article/these-koalas-are-refusing-l...

Yeah if developers could keep their protests within US - that would be great.

Because net neutrality is an issue only faced in the US, right?

Factually - yes?

Comcast is a trademark. Perhaps it could be exempted as a parody, but if this got popular I would expect a DMCA takedown.

DMCA covers copyrights, not trademarks.

Anyway, I'm sure The Onion would love to get a C&D from Comcast. They'd have a field day with that.

This just took me back deep into memories of looking at porn in the 90s.
