1994 Today Show Asks 'What's An Internet?'
This is a video of somebody taping their television while replaying a 1994 Today Show in which Katie Couric (nice hair!), Bryant Gumballs and some random get confused about what the '@' sign (it's not a b-hole?!) means (Katie: "I think it would be around or about"), and then proceed to ask WTF the internet is (besides magic). Now I'm not saying I knew what the internet was 17 years ago, but I did and I wouldn't have sounded like a dimwit on a national morning news program talking about it. "Oh -- it looks like we have a caller on the line who claims he can explain exactly what the internet is in 10-seconds or less." Der der, you dummies -- IT'S A SERIES OF TUBES. Katie, keep those yams perky -- GW OUT!
Worthwhile video of the big ball of sadness after the jump.

Note: Very worthwhile video is after the jump. Kenny "K-Strass" Strasser is basically a no-name Sasha Baron Cohen who travels around the midwest tricking local news stations into thinking he's a yo-yo master so they'll have them on their show. Then once on air he does his bes... / Continue →
