Make Your Very Own Internet For Christmas

December 16, 2008 by Ewan 


Channel 4’s “The IT Crowd” demonstrates the best geek gift… ever.

Viewers of last Friday’s “The IT Crowd” on Channel 4 were witness to one of the longest build ups to a geek joke since you were sent that video of a puppy and a cat kissing each other (oh go on, here it is…), as Jen proudly displayed what she thought was ‘the entire internet in a box’ to her work colleagues.

And of course, everyone who’s ever worked in an IT department decided that they just had to have that box on their desk for Monday morning. So if you’re a bit behind the curve, you need to order this…

you can find it at Maplins for £1.79. Rip a red LED out of a key-ring Wi-Fi Finder and you’re all set to scare everyone else in the office by accidentally stepping on it in the canteen.

(Hat tip to Graham Linehan and some cunning internet detectives).
