Overly melodramatic and cheesy Boston TV channel news report about a computer virus outbreak discovered by MIT nerds. Fun because they don’t just report on the virus – they interview geeks, and insert random clips from retro videogames and TV movies to illustrate what a virus is. Remember, this was 1988!

no – he’s a member of the Amish community (0.40-45). But what’s the sense of asking an Amish about computer viruses? You may as well ask Mother Teresa about her views on blow jobs.
Joking, Right?!
The Dark Genius strikes again!
Did MIT only employ stereotypes, or were those the only ones the new people thought worth interviewing?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The students were safe… Their computers were not. *DRAMATIC SOUND*
