Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai has made one of those “break the ‘net” videos — but not in the usual way. In an apparent effort to either pump up his base or win over undecideds, Pai made a video called “Seven Things You Can Still Do On the Internet After Net Neutrality.” I can say unequivocally as someone doing this for 20 years, this video is truly bizarre in the annals of FCC history for a number of reasons. While most of the attention has gone to the copyright issues or the Twitter fight between Mark Hamill and Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX), the genuinely weirdest thing about this video is that it ever got made in the first place. So here are my picks for the Top 5 Weirdest Things About Ajit Pai’s ‘Seven Things’ Video:

  1. No FCC Chairman (Or Commissioner) Has Ever Made A Video Going After His Critics Before.
  2. Pai’s Videos Attack His Critics Rather Than Defend His Policies.
  3. Dances With “Cigarette Smoking Woman.“
  4. The Video Was Not Only Posted On the Daily Caller Website, The Daily Caller Appears To Have Helped Create It.
  5. The Aftermath of the Video Highlights My Other Policy Obsession — Copyright.
