In case you're wondering, I think you're being downmodded for using the term "internets".

(It drives me nuts that when people downvote you, but don't give an explanation)

Given your karma and how long you've been here, you should know better! FOR SHAME!

No he got downmodded because his comment didn't add to the conversation. One-line, humorous comments with no meat are generally frowned upon and become easy targets.

Additionally, this comment is fairly reddit-esque so I'm guessing there is even more incentive to kill it before it goes any further.

On Slashdot that would qualify as a 4 "Funny"
