You forgot to give the link!

I thought the president could simply click the big red button?

You already can turn off the internet! (allow popups for that site).

Here.

/me checks http://turnofftheinternet.com

Yep, still there.

Hell, I did this years ago with the power button, you're right, no-one has ever pressed it.

Everyone can turn off the internet. You just have to press the red button.

A federally enabled Internet kill switch will place an Internet Off Button in the White House

And this is what it looks like .

The GP was wrong. The correct URL is http://www.turnofftheinternet.com/. Unfortunately it does not look that nice in current version of FF as it did in some older IE6.

Here's the button: http://www.turnofftheinternet.com/

Note that to see the effect, you have to allow popups for that site.

Press here.

Personally, I've always preferred the "Big Red Button" approach.

Not sure that the US dams are connected to this, but here is your big red button.

OK, I'm gonna give you the means to do this... it's here. But, promise you won't press it until the 26th, OK?

Use with caution, as it will shut down the internet.

Do you want to know...._what_ _it_ is....? Google is everywhere. It's all around us, even in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to work, when you pay your taxes. Google is the world that has been pulled over your eyes, to blind you from the truth. A prison...for your mind....Unfortunately, no one can be..._told_ what Google is...you have to see it for yourself.

This is your _last chance_. After this, there is no turning back.....You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up and believe...whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill.....you stay in wonderland...and I show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Because a 15 year old might decide to shutdown the internet with a single email?

Ok, but what will you do if someone shuts down the internet?

No no no! It wasn't deleted at all! It's my fault, actually. You see, I just had to press this shiny red button that I found. My mother always told me not to push buttons I didn't know anything about, but did I listen? Sigh...

I wonder how many times Jack Thompson visited this site.

Just use this.

Okay!

was wrong with This?

Interesting point. Personally, there is a veritable plethora of buttons that I'd like to see on my browser.

Of course, the usual buttons must be there: back, forward, reload, stop, home, but that's not really enough, is it?

I think a resize button would be good. You know, to change the size of my monitor. Some pages would be a lot better if the monitor was bigger.

Also, I'd like a "more interesting" button to fix those unappealing pages. If this is unfeasable, I would settle for a "summon magic dancing monkeys" button. Oh, and I think they should move the turn off the internet button into the browser. I'm tired of having to go to that page to do it.

At the very least, there should be a large, omnious red button entitled "TOTAL ANNHILIATION" with the words "WARNING: NEVER PRESS THIS BUTTON" written below so that I can know I'm not just browsing - I'm Extreme browsing.

Apparently the terrorists found this website, and will be visiting it tomorrow:

Someone has found This....

No DON'T push that button...

Too late! They've already found it

Also, be sure to check out www.turnofftheinternet.com (turn your popup blocker off.. works best in IE6.. remember your Alt+Tab and Ctrl+Alt+Del.. it's nothing you can't get out of, don't worry). Funny trick to set up in a computer lab, for instance...

You are an idiot, please do us all a favor:

Turn off the internet

> He is not of the moral character I want near the big red button of the Internet.

I don't mind if he's near this.

You could volunteer your time in a more productive fashion by doing any number of self-gratifying things, including, but not limited to Looking at porn, Hanging out at this site, or Turning off the internet. All interesting and fun activities that don't require you to send money to anyone.

Actually thats pretty easy, you can turn it off at Turn off the Internet

I know I shouldn't have pressed this button...

It is now safe to turn off the Internet
