SOPA and PIPA may sound like adorable gnomes from a Finnish children's program in which puppets teach Scandinavian children the virtues of taciturnity, taxation and hot-tubbing, but they're actually even more sinister than that.

I'd love to exaggerate that for comic effect, but no, that's pretty much the deal.

In 2010, Verizon and Google were arguing over Net Neutrality rules. Verizon was opposed, Google was in favor. Then a funny thing happened. Google started supporting Verizon's viewpoint on the matter!

To be clear: Net Neutrality was thrown out in the wireless space because Google sided with Verizon’s ridiculous and horribly conflicted stance on the matter.
