After WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s internet service was cut off by the Ecuadorian embassy where he is holed up, one man sought to bring the internet back for the cloistered Queenslander.
Armed with a bullhorn and a sign that reads “Julian Assange’s Personal Internet Service,” Canadian comedian Bobby Mair has been standing outside the embassy shouting the news of the day to Assange.

“In your hometown right now of Townsville, it’s like 32 degrees [Celsius, 90 Fahrenheit]. Maybe some of your childhood friends are having a nice day.” Mair shouted. “Maybe you could write them a letter.”
It’s unclear whether Assange was listening or appreciated the bullhorn-wielding internet hero.
In the grand scheme of things, if you can’t have high-speed internet or even dial-up, a comedian with a bullhorn still beats good old-fashioned snail mail.
