The Internet is shrouded in black today as major sites like Wikipedia, Mozilla, Reddit and Boing Boing have dimmed their lights to protest SOPA and PIPA. Across the web, pages big and small are encouraging users to call their Senators and Congresspeople to urge them to vote against the bills.
By far the most entertaining demonstration comes from online cartoon The Oatmeal. The site uses an animated gif to break down the bills and describes what the implications could be — especially for entertainment sites — if they pass. It’s a funny gif, done in The Oatmeal’s style, but still gives a good explanation.
Head over to The Oatmeal to see the image in context. And don’t forget to contact your representative.
