Today, my parents canceled the Internet at our house because they view it as a "passing fad." FML

And I'm guessing they probably ride pogo sticks to work because those will be popular forever.

OP will live. There is Internet everywhere that he/she can access.

Passing Fad? We haven't even seen the internet yet, there is so much to come!

Gotta agree with the parents, there issnt much to do on the Internet anyways

There is a lot to do in the Internet!! You can watch a video of a monkey scratching its butt for example.

I disagree 42. There's the always hilarious "Missed Connections" portion of Craigslist, ****, YouTube, ****, and of course, FML. Side note: Whatever happened to threebrain.com and bunnygrenade.com? Those sites were awesome back in the day...

Nah man, it's all about the unicycle.

Everyone at my job rides Big-wheels to work

I learned how to drift at a very young age because my big wheel had that side brake. (:

GREEN MEAN MONSTER MACHINE ( the green bike for kids.. Not sure if that's the correct name )

You mean it's not? I should've thought harder about that investment in telekinetic helmets.

They may take our lives, they may take our freedom, BUT THEY WILL *NEVER* TAKE OUR INTERNET ****!!!

So something that has been around since 1960 is a passing fad? Even if you just count the 20 years it's been readily available it's more than a fad. It's time to educate your parents.

No u learn yours because the Internet came along with the computers around the 1950-60

Even though it wasn't commercially available till the 90's is was being developed in the 60's. Only a few computers where connected, mostly at 4 universities in the USA.

The Internet is useless. What can one possibly do with only a world of possibilities at their fingertips? Give it a year, people will come to their senses

For anyone who can't pick up on it, that was sarcasm

Saying that something was sarcastic kind of ruins it, but I see why you did, there are an abundance of people on here of whom sarcasm flies right over their head.. Anyway, OP... that just sucks. Your parents are idiots.

If your parents disconnected the Internet then how did you make this post?

From a well known spot with wi-fi called McDonalds, or stardbuck's, an internet cafè, or a friend's house.

Then use Internet off the phone, there's a safari app.

Nah, the OP used carrier pigeons to deliver her FML message, which was chiseled onto a stone tablet, to Alan who then posted it here for her :P
