What If They Turned Off the Internet?

Cracked.com asked readers to Photoshop what life would be like in an Internet-addicted society learning to cope without it. Better hope it never happens, or be prepared for dry-erase message boards, carrier pigeon-powered Twitter, block-long lines to get into adult video shops, door-to-door Rickrolling, Lolcats on Broadway, and $199.99 CDs."

    If i was a great big douche bag, i'd use a monospace font when i am not pasting code, or in other words for no god damned reason at all, just to annoy other slashdot users. i'd also be a native english speaker who can't handle the distinctions among they're, their, and there, not to mention the difference between loose and lose. i would do these things, and more, just to advertise my douchebaggery to save everyone the trouble of noticing it on their own.
