Default Proof civilisation is about to collapse

http://www.theonion.com/content/node/27836

We may well be witnessing the dawn of a new era of skepticism in which we no longer accept everything we read online at face value. But regardless of what the future holds, one thing is clear: The Internet's status as the world's definitive repository of incontrovertible fact has been jeopardized.

I think Doodler's sarcasm detector is broken.

The dawn of a new era of sceptisism? Surely this won't extend to the Bautforum - a site where we all accept new theories, alternatives and science with no scrutiny whatsoever!

Frankly, I think that shows like "The Brady Bunch" were ever made are signs that civilization is collapsing already, but that's just a personal opinion.
