When the Federal Communications Commission released its proposed Net Neutrality regulations,

Chairman Tom Wheeler said the founding fathers were likely looking down on the public outcry over

the draft rules and sm iling.

They must be laughing hysterically now.

The FCC's online public-comment system stumbled under heavy traffic Monday after comedian John

Oliver capped a

13 minute segment about Net neutrality -- the concept that all Internet content

should be delivered without preference or discrimination -- with a rallying cry to the Internet's trolls to

visit the FCC's website and focus your indiscriminate rage in a useffil direction.

Net neutrality regulations could have the power to stifle or preserve technological innovation and

freedom of speech, as well as influence how quickly you get emails, whether your Netflix streams

buffer, and how muc h you pay for Internet connection and services that exist there.

The clip, from Oliver's 1-IBO program Last Week Tonight on Sunday, was shared widely on social

networks like Twitter, with the YouTube clip's view count approaching the 700,000 mark. Oliver's

program itself was watched by 1 million viewers during its first airing, according

to TV by the

Numbers, a website that reports television ratings from Nielsen.

After Net neutrality regulations set in 2010 were thrown by a federal appeals court earlier this year, the

FCC's next move was watched closely by consumer advocates, Internet companies, service providers

and the tech press -- and, increasingly, mainstream consumers sometimes uncertain about what the

subject even me ans. Elements of W heeler's draft rule were leake d, and public confrision -- about

whether these were proposals or instituted rules, what was actually being proposed, and how the

Internet works -- were difficult to dispel.

As with any good comedian, Oliver's chief goal was to land solid laughs. For facts about Net

neutrality and

the FCC's proposals, check coverage from CNET's Marguerite Reardon, who has

covered the issues extensively.

That was classic. I loved the comparison of the promise to comply with the NN rules and the promise to show up at your

house between certain hours. BAM
