The SOPA/PIPA protests, which have rendered the internet strange and Wikipedia-less on this eighteenth of January, now have themselves a proper protest song.
Thanks to Wiki going dark to protest the SOPA and PIPA bills, you're likely at a loss for facts and useless trivia, wandering the streets accosting random people until someone tells you which movie Arnold Schwarzenegger costarred with Jim Belushi in. (Answer: 'Red Heat.')
Just imagine, as some people are starting to believe, a universe where both the SOPA and PIPA bills pass, and the all powerful Wikipedia blacks out for good.

Michael Jackson has been dead for over two years, but his amazing legacy of song and dance lives on in this video of squirrels boogie-ing to the King of Pop's all-time party-starting jam 'Don't Stop Tll You Get Enough.'
There's a lot of talk right now about the Web blackout for PIPA and SOPA. And, of course, some folks are mighty confused. That's where we come in.
