What if the Internet were a real place?

The other day I was relaxing in front of the television enjoying an extremely humorous episode of Chappelle's Show. Now, if you've ever seen the show before you know firsthand that Dave Chappelle brings an element of truth into each of his sketches, shedding comedic light on all sorts of topics. From Lil' John to a blind African-American white supremacist, there really is no limit as to how far this show will go. This particular sketch stood out to me because it was about something most of us deal with nearly every day: the Internet. Most businesses today would barely stay alive without it. Most students use it all the time, whether it be for homework, entertainment, or staying in touch with friends. However, sometimes there's a lot of scum we have to sort through before we can actually get what we need. Sure it's annoying, but it's there... and there's nothing we can do about it. Right? Well, what if the Internet were a real place, and not just something we could close with the click of a button? Would we stick around as long as we do? Would we drudge through miles of crap to get our information? I think it wouldn't be tolerated as much as it is today. We'd definitely see many more guidelines and regulations, and would probably not have nearly the amount of information at our fingertips as we do now. But would it be worth it? You be the judge...

I love how not only do we have Santa Cruz pride but we are both lovers of the Chappelle show-
