What is the purpose of the internets? A delightful exigesis on the true purpose of the intarwebs.[NSFW][embedded video with singing]

Sorry this is a one-link post, but I was having trouble finding additional links to support the premise expressed in the video. Maybe someone could help me out with this? hahahahahaha....

  • Quotes from Avenue Q, maybe.
  • The song is certainly "The Internet is for Porn" by Avenue Q seeming badly dubbed onto some strange Hentai. The Internet is for theft more like ;)
  • Internet without pr0n eh . . . Internet without pr0n . . . well . . umm . . . I guess it'd be like scientific research papers and . . online . . banking? . . umm . . Aaaaaannnnd . . . oh! Electronics shopping. Y'know like computers and st- Okay, no I can't see it. Definitely about the pr0n. Usenet statistics, anyone?
  • Oh and double-plus bonus points for "exigesis"
  • exegesis. I knew that.
  • mmmm bonus points! what do I win?
  • It's a secret. But here's a hint: it can be found on the Internets.
  • So, is it right that the whole plural "internets" thing comes from a speech Dubya made? Up until recently I'd just thought it was an amazingly annoying fad, but it takes on a whole new meaning if it's actually, like, really cool political satire, or something.
  • Yeah, "internets" was in one of the Dubya-Kerry debates. And besides, porn has been on the forefront of every major technological advance, from the oldest human sculptures to Civil War vets carrying nudie pics to the internets.
  • You are correct sir! /Ed_McMahon
  • And besides, porn has been on the forefront of every major technological advance I'd say _media_ technology, definitely. Supposedly the first daguerrotype was a woman and a donkey. Y'know.
  • Indeed. Media technology. I don't think there was much porn related to the compass or the steel ship hull, though there seems a fetish for everything.
  • particle accelerators are pretty sexy.
  • Why, of course! Just look at the very first image ever on the web! That's pr0n, righ? Right?
  • The End of Pr0n? = end of the Internets??
  • I'd like to hope that even if nothing else will rouse this (USA) nation of lardball sloths, the threat of their pr0n removal will cause citizens to rise up (heh) in a mighty revolt against oppressive anti-porn tyrants!
  • Hello? Mary Magdalene? One second please. Jeeeesuuuuuuus! PhoOone!
