FCC chair Ajit Pai tries to use 'The Big Lebowski' to make a joke, gets destroyed hundreds of times

FCC chairman and excruciatingly unfunny telecom shill Ajit Pai showed the world, once again, how profoundly detached from most every human he is. Not unlike Sen. Ted Cruz, who doesn’t realize he is a Sith lord and not a Jedi, Pai thinks his suspicious love of the Coen brothers’ The Big Lebowski by will draw fans.

It's not just, like, my opinion, man: 20 years ago today, #TheBigLebowski--the greatest film in the history of cinema--was released. Decades on, the Dude still abides and the movie really ties us all together. https://t.co/bYus1wlt7q

The entire thread response to Pai goes a little something … like this:

The Coen Brothers, Carter Burwell, Jeff Bridges, Philip Seymour Hoffman, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Sam Elliott, Flea, John Turturro, Julianne Moore, and Aimee Mann hate you. #NetNeutrality

I was going to rent The Big Lebowski on Amazon, but my cable provider will end up throttling it and make it unwatchable. Thanks Ajit!!!

Let’s head below the fold for more.

Classic line:

You're out of your element Ajit.
