This Canadian news clip is old as the hills (circa 1993), but it's so perfectly charming that many still contend it's fake. I tend to think that it perfectly combines reportorial cluelessness with objective tediousness such that it must be real. Worth it for the "Internet enthusiast" who marvels at the "restraint" and that "there's not a lot of cursing or swearing" or "putdowns" or "screenfuls of 'go to hell.'" Marvel at the magic of "emoticons," plus perhaps the first recorded Internet misspelling of the "definitely." Then there's the suspicious British guy who says he loves the Internet since it allows him to indulge his "deep and abiding passion for all things Thai." I doubt he means sticky rice. Clip after the jump.
