Steve Shannon’s special IP addresses.
Steve Shannon ran this ad in the last month of his campaign:
If those IP addresses are an indicator of Steve Shannon’s technical prowess, I don’t think he was going to catch those child pornographers after all. Here’s a screenshot, if you missed it:
This is a bit like tracking Virginia criminals by their phone numbers, and giving the example of 434-555-1212-2029. It’s utterly implausible, and shows a lack of so much as a passing familiarity with telephones (or, in this case, networking). I saw the ad just once, just a few seconds of it over my shoulder last weekend, while eating dinner at a Korean restaurant (Korea House in Charlottesville—recommended highly, BTW). Even that glance was jarring, although it wasn’t until today that I tracked the ad down on YouTube and found that my eyes did not deceive me.
