Make love, not war tiered internets!

With reverence to the great activists of the 1960s, Belgian “politician” Tania Derveaux wants to steal the cherry of any net-neutrality supporter. “In history, man has always waged war for freedom,” she says. “Now it’s time to obtain our freedom with love.”

So….if you are an able-bodied defender of internet freedom looking for love in the least likely of places, click “get laid” to arrange a private intimate meeting.

The terms of service are pretty lenient, with a small emphasis on safety and hardly a stringent policy on corroborating the applicant’s virginity or opinion on net neutrality. (Also, it is pretty optimistic: “due to time limitations each performance can last no longer than 30 minutes.” Derveaux has such hope for her virgin audience.)

Of course, the whole thing is a farce. Some of you should remember her from last year’s promise to hand out 400,000 blowjobs. The same promise that ended with a virtual blowjob by her “Asian assistant” via YouTube. I imagine this charade will end similarly.

Surprisingly, the Don’t Stay A Virgin website is entirely lacking in any information on net neutrality. After going through the trouble of flashing some sex in your face to grab your attention, one would hope that attention would be put to good use. Alas not.

So as it stands, this is a publicity gimmick (which I apologize for perpetuating) with no substance behind it. A few links or articles would go a long way in pulling Derveaux out of the realm of internet skank grasping for page views.
