The Internet Has Crashed!
written by John Chow
I just heard on the news that the entire Internet has crashed! Hello? Is anyone still out there? If you are, please leave me a message so I know that this story is not real! I feel so alone now. If this story is real then I think I will Ctrl Alt Delete myself.

Why don’t you make a few yourself ?
Hahaha
that was great. The Onion always makes me laugh (the show not the veg )
how vulnerable the internet is! one computer caused the crash……
it seems to me that you don’t have to be a top-class hacker to cause some serious damage, all you need to do is to open up as many application as you can on your computer….
backup the internet? that’s never come up in my small brain like ever…what a project that would be!
thank god, my data is still intact.
i really feel for those who lost their data
This guy is just dumb to have 35 applications to be opened and surfing at a goal, will you guys do that too, and how does he do all at one goal, its not like all 35 is opened on the screen and even if it does, it seems tough to get a done at a go~
That whoosing sound you just heard was this video flying over Etienne’s head.
Be nice
Trust me, that was nice
I can’t but help laughing at that comment lol..
Are you serious?
Having 35 windows open is easy, you should try Expose on a 30″ Apple Cinema Display.
This video has amazing product placement and spoofing. I am suprised we didn’t see John Chow dot Com is the greatest money making blog scroll across the bottom.
hi debo, i agree with that… “a very special report john chow is making big money online”
From the looks of things, this dude definitley should have had John Chow dot Com up amoung those 35 applications. Someone please get him to the groomer….DOH!
The headlines at the bottom are funny too. Too bad you can’t make out the last one…
Lol, the Onion is great
What does the onion symbolize. Smelly
news?
The Onion is a ‘humor’ newspaper around the states, you probably can find a stack in your local grocery store. The video is made by them as you can see from the logo.
Haha, the tone in which he says “sexyback” is hilarious. I loved the part about Niger’s “on-line ventures” too
Yeah - thats so damn hilarious!
94% of their national revenue is from internet ventures!!! Haha remember those “King of Nigeria - Treasure handover” mails??
Thanks for the video John!
A sucker is as a sucker does…
Niger and Nigeria are two different countries, just so you know. Peace
It says - Nigeria in the video.
Yeah, I screwed that one up. My bad!
Can’t watch it at my office
, well, once im home i will see what the guy trying to say in the video. What channel is that anyway? NN?
I hate that the IT dept on jobs block folks from watchin videos.
John we are all here with you
no matter what happens

That’s an awesome video. The whole part about ABC airing continuous America’s Funniest Home Videos from lack of Youtube was hilarious.
If internet has really crashed, John’s dot com mogul life would be over.
I don’t think it’ll be over. He would start a cult (unknowingly) and all his loyal readers will follow him around like sick puppies looking for the answer to life’s most profound question: “What Would John Chow Do?”
This was a great video - awesome quality for a spoof vid. I almost shut it off though, but am glad I held out, because the Nigeria jokes, and handing out useless diet tips had me rolling.
Hilarious video. I image some real effort went into making that.
I almost wish it were true. Then I could get something else done.
Haha, that absolutely hilarious. I just saw “Live Free or Die Hard” yesterday so this whole internet crashing thing is still fresh in my mind..lol
LOL. That was amazing
Ctrl+Alt+Delete?
You use windows?
I thought all humankind-saving, superheroes and of course super-money people should be using Apple Macs!
Great discovery there Brajeshwar!
John what do you say?
Everyone should be using Macs. The best would be, if everyone used Macs with Ubuntu Linux.
The guy who crashed the internet uses Mac too, all the aps and graphics are mac based iChat, the updated system software is MacOSX. So maybe some screwup in the story.
HAH! I posted this today as well… ghey!
Me Too
Will be quite fun 
I think not. But our company network did this morning. (^_^)
ooh no what will i do!!!!!!
Nope, I’m still here. *=)

I guess I missed the memo. Still making money online.
One Man. One Year. $100,000 online. How’s he doing it?

If the Internet crashes permanently, there is always going to get a job in offset printing and melting lead for fonts. Ick!
im still here. nothing happen
oops…I thought ti was real, so I ctrl Alt Deleted myself…I don’t know how to reopen. Please help me! ROFL.
OMG, that was awesome
no way online money & mogul
Hahaha, what do you mean there’s no backup of the internet?
Google has one!
Google has one, and the Web Archive has one, too!
But not of Myspace profiles! Imagine the horror of losing all those wonderfully developed profiles!
Seems to be working well for me
