So I finally got a high-speed internet connection for home use
Now I can surf the width and breadth of the virtual universe at my leisure, and you know what I've discovered?



There's a lot more porn out there than I would have guessed...

3. Reminds me of THE most ridiculous TV commercial I ever saw:
It was for Qwest high speed internet. The guy had just gotten DSL and he was surfing the internets so fast, in about 20 seconds he saw EVERYTHING! "Now what?" Huh?

Not all hyperbole is HIGHlarity.

That being said; welcome to the 21st century, Orrex!

6. I remember seeing that when I was in Qwest territory.
I thought it was pretty clever, actually.

7. If he'd spent 1/100 of a second on each site and surfed 24/7 for 100 years, he
wouldn't come close to seeing everything. But maybe it's me.

8. You're expecting TV commercials to be realistic.
I'm thinking that's your problem, right there. :)

13. Well, a little exaggeration can be humorous, but seriously! That was SO beyond the realm of
possibility that it made me wonder if the creators even had any idea what they were doing.

But then again, I have issues. :crazy:

11. I have Kramden something
I mean Norton. When I bought the desktop, I was able to buy three peripherals @ 20% discount, so Norton's what I got. Along with a flash drive and a printer cable.


But thanks for the warning--always worth remembering!

"There's a lot more porn out there than I would have guessed..."....BWAAA. Thats so damn funny to me. When this internet thing first started getting big a relative of mine who got it installed before the rest of us told us that her husband's belief was the SOLE purpose of the internet was to look up dirty pictures.......:rofl:

Now just think of all the LOLCATS you can look at without having to wait for them to download.....:P

Wise man once said if there were no porn sites on the internet, there would be no internet except for one site-- a page dedicated to bringing porn back to the internet. :evilgrin:
