Internet crash

I thought this Onion clip was quite funny, and a perfect addition to any blog.  Toward the end of the video, it also made me think about how we would transfer/manifest all of our habitual behaviors and obsessions from the internet back into the "real" world, if this were to happen.  It reminded me a little of some of the proposals from our class.

Also, I was thinking of this video in terms of a deadpan parody (sort of like On a Boat, where the style and production seem authentic, but the content is ridiculous)

Gotta love the onion. This is truly hilarious. I love the description of what that kid was doing when he "broke" the internet. I laughed out loud. The one part of the bit that I thought was flawed was the clip with the goofy blogger making a verbal statement. That moment seemed more slaptick and less effective than the rest of the deadpan character of the skit. Still great.
