Did you know that the entire Internet crashed and all data was lost? The Onion caught it and has this coverage. Good thing I had a backup of my blog!

The only part of this joke that doesn’t work for me is they laid blame with a Mac OSX, and not Windows, user. Maybe blame rightly belongs to Klaatu!
Can you imagine watching this 20 years ago? Nobody would have any idea at all what this guy was talking about! Very funny, and that guy should be a real newscaster.
I liked the part about the collapse of Nigeria’s economy. It makes me suspect it is a veiled reference to the African scams that go on with emails sent to the United States: a convoluted scheme asking people to help somebody inherit money from a deceased party, but the money has to be put temporarily in another country’s bank account – preferably yours!!! Later, as a thank you for this favor, you get to keep a percentage of this inheritance. Naturally, in order to make this work, you have to give this unknown African your personal bank account number. Yeah….uh- huh….!!!!!!
Anyway, pretty funny video, Doug!
