In late October, someone at the U.S. House of Representatives decided to catch up on the latest season of Dexter, illegally downloading an episode of the TV series while at a congressional office. In the days that followed, with Hurricane Sandy threatening to keep federal workers hunkered down at home, employees of Congress downloaded the 2012 mob film Lawless, a Halloween-themed episode of The Middle, and an episode from Season 9 of CSI: New York.
Yes, the same people who are attempting to pass bills that would provide stiff penalties for those who illegally download material, happen to be doing exactly that - Illegally downloading material.
No wonder Congress is so unpopular. They are a bunch of hypocrites, Democrats and Republicans alike - Which gives me an idea. Congress should now pass a bill providing an automatic 5 year prison sentence to anybody who is a member of Congress. LOL.
