Talking to Politicians

"*By having an open comment section, that's their way of saying that they want to know what we think.*"
―Erik
Talking to Politicians is the seventh lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. This lesson introduced dick typing. It was released on April 17, 2012.

## Summary

Erik explains why politicians use the internet and how to interact with them. He first views a video of Rick Santorum and types his comment with some help from his balls. Before continuing, he takes time to explain that the Ron Paul being mentioned in his videos is not the politician of the same name, but actually refers to his friend Lebron "Ron" Paul who is also a presidential candidate. He then watches a Newt Gingrich video, but finds that comments are disabled. He uses this as a teaching moment to explain that comments are always enabled somewhere, and he posts on Gingrich's Facebook wall. Next, Erik announces the N-Word of the Day, NICE, as in be NICE to each other. Then he watches a Mitt Romney video, comments on it with more help from his balls, and tweets Chris Brown.

## Context

1. ↑ Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, and Mitt Romney were all seeking the Republican nomination for president at the time of this video.
2. ↑ NAMBLA is a pro-pedophilia group. It has become associated with Rick Santorum due to his claim that acceptance of gay marriage would lead to acceptance of other types of marriage, such as pedophilic marriage.
3. ↑ "Santorum" has come to have a second meaning, also referring to a byproduct of anal sex. This was in response to Rick Santorum's history of homophobia.
4. ↑ KONY refers to a viral activism campaign at the time called KONY 2012 that sought the arrest of war criminal Joseph Kony.
5. ↑ In a previous lesson, Erik explained that a Dutch website had been rehosting his videos. This means that Dutch users of this website may take an interest in any content that he posts.
6. ↑ Mitt Romney is a Mormon. Mormonism is a relatively recent religion that was founded by Joseph Smith. Smith started the religion after claiming to have visions from God and adherents to the religion are expected to follow many strict rules. This has led to allegations that Mormonism is "made up".
