Interfection = American Online

"Ah, a web of lies."

Have you ever seen "Interfection," the episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force where the computer internet service provider takes over the house with pop up ads and the occupants cannot cancel the service? Isn't this episode about AOL?

Check out part of the transcript:

Internet wizard: [I am] the www.yzzerdd, the "Wizard," dot com...

Fry Man: What the hell do you want with us?...

Internet wizard: Why don't you fill this out, you could win a Porsche?

Fry Man: I'm not filling out no damn form so I can win no damn sports car. I want to know what the hell is going on here...

Internet wizard: Congratulations, you are automatically signed up to receive e-mails about updates, specials and e-mails about other e-mails!

Fry Man: ...I'm coming in there to unsubscribe...

Internet wizard: It's only 44.95 a month, that's pennies a day...Surely this convenience entices you. Pornography and online gaming at hundreds of times the speed of your normal advertising service provider. It's so easy to use. And the surgery to implant it at the base of your skull is so painless that it's no wonder I'm number one...

Fry Man: ...Now I know for sure that I don't want this service.

Internet wizard: You signed up for the thirty day trial. You must have to have it for thirty days...

Fry Man: ...You're going offline, Internet Wizard...

Internet wizard: Fine, fine, don't use our service. Get left in the digital dust, but remember, you could have won a Porsche.

Fry Man: [Looking at popup windows options] Yes! Sign me up for your fabulous and invasive service, including the home invasion cam!...No, I need another 90 days to decide, but I'm pretty sure I want this.

Internet wizard: And after this 90 day trial, you will be judged and sentenced to a lifetime of interactive sports, news and information. And we will continue to draw from your account, because banks don't care. It's not their money...
