Come 2010, You Won’t be Able to Read This

Were you able to load this post? Consider yourself lucky. A new study has shown that as early as 2010, loading a thick, content-rich post like this one (note the use of multimedia to the right and above) will crash the Internet faster than the Hindenburg flying through an electrical storm.
Why? Because you broke it.
Flashy Myspace pages featuring wall-to-wall gifs and the music of Kenny G, endless Youtube uploads of QVC clips, all just to fuel some pathetic humor-farm’s crass attempt at entertainment…the list goes on.
Quite simply, there’s too much Internet, and not enough tubes to hold it all. To make the metaphor as clear as possible, imagine we’ve got eight things and, like, three tubes. And each tube only holds two things.
Get the picture?!
