As in, like, literally! Okay, so not here, but in parts of Asia and the Middle East, yes!
Teh Intarwebs is Brokened, WTF!?!?! OMG, how will those people survive? Seriously, I'd die if I had no Internet, and not just because the network was down at work. Daaaaamn. Those poor people...okay, so yes, there are indeed worse things, but can you imagine? The U.S.-outsourced businesses have to outsource their work during the outage! (Which means, God knows which countries you may randomly get telemarketing calls from now, LOL.)
But hey, maybe this means the 'Net will seem faster for the rest of us? Yeah riiiiight.
