Will YouTube Deny You Internet Porn in 2010?

According to an article in Macworld, a newly released study conducted by Nemertes Research Group indicates that “a flood of new video and other Web content could overwhelm the Internet by 2010.”

This internet slow-down is something the Internet Innovation Alliance (IIA) has been predicting for several years. Bruce Mehlman, co-chairman of the IIA agrees, saying the study gives “good, hard, unique data” on the IIA concerns about network capacity. He went on to state, “Internet users will create 161 exabytes of new data this year.”

What does this mean to you, loyal OC readers? Not only will it become painstakingly difficult to read the OC blog, but it’ll also seriously impede your ability to view porn online.

Are videos of Miley Cyrus in concert really worth their bandwidth if it means missing a busty blonde in action?

“Video has unleashed an explosion of Internet content,” Mehlman said.

I guess the question is, what type of “explosion” would you like to unleash in 2010?

    Your just whiny cause Nike and Frohnmayer are now going to be in decline in our city and the Eugisneyland swoosh theme park wont be built in Fairmount . Boo hoo . I wont bother you bloggers any more(but the Emeralds not off the hook yet). I just wanted to see what this award winning duck cesspool was all about. Very impressive . My new goal is to change the UO mascot back to the “tall firs” to commemorate Frohnmayers legacy of telling tall tales at the UO. Goodbye duckfans.

    I would be in favor of this proposed summer issue spread. When do we start casting?

  4. Ossie says:

    Ian: We have actually been talking all year about a swimsuit issue, or better yet, swimsuit / birthday suit issue. The Summer Issue is coming up …

  5. Ossie says:

    Sorry, Vish, but once you have a nationally recognized blog, it is eminant that people will use your Web space to push their agendas in the comment section. You’ll just have to get used to Frohnmayer’s good fight against the evil … ah, hell, forget it.

    Psychoactive solutions, huh? Sounds like my cup of tea. You got a pool full of that stuff?

  7. Zach Vishanoff says:

    Hey, I just had a great idea! I’m gonna start my own fucking blog where I can write about Nike and the arena project ad nauseum until the end of time. Then I won’t have to spam every ODE and Commentator article like a big, fucking douchebag. Doesn’t that sound great, guys?

  8. Frohnmayer says:

    Thanks for bringing in this incredibly important issue-note to self : it looks like the psychoactive solutions added to the e.m.u. water supply have begun to take effect. We must monitor the affected uo lab rat/ journalists carefully to see if and when the common sense may re-enter their content.

    ewwwwwww. Now the girls of Bean on the other hand…

  10. Nic says:

    Emily Mcclain for centerfold!

  11. Ian says:

    The idea of having a centerfold pictorial in the Commentator has been around for a long time. Perhaps this is finally the excuse the magazine needs to move ahead with such a valuable and necessary public service.

  12. Michelle Haley says:

    Keep it semi-professional Jin!

    “The only real rules are 1) try and keep the writing semi-professional (i.e. no “lolz!!1″ or emoticons), and 2) no ASUO fanfiction!” -CJ Ciaramella

    In all seriousness though, thanks, see you at the ASUO Meet-n-Greet?

  13. Sean Jin says:

    ROFL. Excellent first post, Michelle.
