"Computer 'web' to change billions of lives (yeah, right)"

InfernoZeus · 2012-09-04T12:55:31+00:00

The author's name is 'Dot Comme' - that seems like an extreme coincidence!

Also, fuck The Sun.

clammedia · 2012-09-04T10:22:58+00:00

English tabloids - the pinnacle of British journalism!

Glaube · 2012-09-04T15:39:40+00:00

This is why you should never read "The Sun"

bcr · 2012-09-04T16:49:20+00:00

Also, see: The Internet? Bah! written in '95 by a Newsweek reporter. <-- Not a fake

twiggyy · 2012-09-04T14:13:40+00:00

Fake

groverwood · 2012-09-04T16:48:20+00:00

faked.

written by Dot Comme?

pikadrew · 2012-09-04T15:54:01+00:00

If you want to see the set follow this link to all of The Sun's Fake Headlines

xpkranger · 2012-09-04T16:49:23+00:00

Um, calling BS. The article is by Dot Comme?

TalkingBackAgain · 2012-09-04T10:28:43+00:00

This World Wide Web thing is never going anywhere :-).

That Berners-Lee dude must have been on something very strong, related to trees ;-).

A world wide web chuckle. What are they going to come up with next? A phone that can take pictures? giggle

Affero-Dolor · 2012-09-04T14:52:38+00:00

Strangely, the media has yet to learn anything more about the internet.

Ieuan1996 · 2012-09-04T15:20:09+00:00

Tell me I wasn't the only one who felt compelled to read the female astronaut bit?

colihondro · 2012-09-04T15:57:31+00:00

Riddle of 'E' mail

grigorG · 2012-09-04T16:05:05+00:00

This is THE SUN

rahtid · 2012-09-04T16:17:17+00:00

Spent far too much time focusing on the red circle and what it had to do with the title...

shmooshmoo · 2012-09-04T16:38:05+00:00

Fake or not, what's Sinclair's CS?

xndrz · 2012-09-04T16:41:13+00:00

wish you were Mir

Oh god how much I want to punch that writer in the face.

Howard_Beale · 2012-09-04T17:00:12+00:00

FAKE!!

Badface · 2012-09-04T17:10:57+00:00

They had to get a girl all the way from Mars to be their first astronaut? I guess she had the experience needed for the job, right?

ArsenicAcid · 2012-09-04T17:24:16+00:00

And 3 short years later I was on IRC and AOL doing unthinkable things that put Reddit and 4chan to shame.

modex20 · 2012-09-04T17:25:01+00:00

who reads The Sun?

bricardo · 2012-09-04T17:29:18+00:00

Ha Ha! What a stupid idea.

not4u2see · 2012-09-04T17:48:47+00:00

Another shining example of why no one should ever listen to Rupert Murdoch

FatMansPants · 2012-09-04T17:49:03+00:00

Suck dick Murdoch !!!

MacShirts · 2012-09-04T18:04:12+00:00

Ironic how the "world what what?" is systematically decimating the print publication industry that The Sun was such a big player in.

fritsyb1 · 2012-09-04T18:25:44+00:00

Is this legit? Only reason I'm asking is because I know The Sun is an awful newspaper but I wasn't aware they would write something so...bad.

GameGhostKev · 2012-09-04T18:41:48+00:00

This just makes me depressed that The Sun in 1991 was so much better than nowadays. Two articles about scientific discoveries/exploration on the front page. You'd be hard pressed to find two in the entire paper today.

BLVD · 2012-09-04T18:46:33+00:00

It was going pretty slow until we added pornography and pictures of cats.

edisekeed · 2012-09-04T18:50:18+00:00

Sounds a lot like Paul Krugman in 1998

"The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in "Metcalfe's law"--which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants--becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet's impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine's"

savagelaw · 2012-09-04T19:34:29+00:00

I was more interested in the other article...

eresuman · 2012-09-04T19:52:45+00:00

Guy to the right. "You wint zoin 50 Mile high club"

Ludoweez · 2012-09-04T20:43:50+00:00

I can haz internetz?!

ElShaggers · 2012-09-04T20:44:52+00:00

The S*n in printing unsubstantiated bollocks shocker.

Seriously, the sooner that the cunts behind that hateful rag die off, the better.

Mumpsterpwnch · 2012-09-04T20:48:54+00:00

1991

First Brit in space

Fucking Brit-land

Sambospudz · 2012-09-04T12:00:45+00:00

The Sun newspaper is pure evil...evil I tells ya

AstraJin · 2012-09-04T12:48:38+00:00

Wouldnt expect much more from the Scum

BrutalJones · 2012-09-04T15:51:47+00:00

Al Gore joke.

Maximuqq · 2012-09-04T13:38:19+00:00

The Sun newspaper is complete and utter BS.

ehorgan · 2012-09-04T14:53:24+00:00

Great Britain didn't have a person in space until 1991?

TheJOakley · 2012-09-04T15:43:10+00:00

ERMAHGERD! SHE'S IN OR-BRIT!

SHOOPDAWOOPLOL · 2012-09-04T19:42:37+00:00
