This is fantastic, it explains so much.
Mainly it explains why I use adblockers.

That was terrible in its beauty and beautiful in its terror. Thank you. I hate it.

Oh man, I remember Circuitland. My dad would take me there when he needed to buy levitating multimeters.

I am disappoint that, at the end, I didn't unleash dread gods to torment us -- I figure we all already did that to get into this mess over the past 30 years.

That was a thing of beauty, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't do a search on 'cube burger' half way through watching. That idea's time has come.

Actual warning: This thing contains a CSS-enabled jump-scare.

I didn't need this adrenaline spike, thanks

Have Ad-blocker. Our fibre service fritzed out on Friday . . . and we secured a promise to fix by Wednesday (today). So we went into the local library after lunch on Monday (to chekkitout MeFi etc.). My internet connexion on a public terminal is something else: I didn't know I really wanted to buy more underwear.

Okay, that's the last time I click on affordable Dad insurance ads. Fool me twice, Internet...

Is it satire or is it net.art? Either way, it's wonderful.
