Attention: All New Media Studies students in Dr. C’s class MUST watch this absolutely hilarious scene from South Park. I don’t know whether or not I should warn you guys or not, considering you’re all college students, but what hel….heck…there’s mild language.

What do you guys think? Is it over-exaggerated, or do you think our reaction would be similar? Humor aside, I think the South Park writers have hit the nail on the head in terms of the chaos that would ensue based on the lack of internet access. Quite possibly the most genius line ever: “Don’t you get it?! There’s no internet to find out why there’s no internet!” Hilarious!
Apparently the video has been taken down because of copyright issues!
Yeah I couldn’t see the video either but I would like to say that the world may not come to a halt, we would all be affected in HUGE ways…the infrastructure of a city may even go down. I don’t know that much about it and if it runs on the internet but I know that many computers are connected through the internet and it would be bad for many businesses. I once worked at Geico and all of their computers/information are hooked together through the internet because that is the only place they share a common source.
