Plot
The Marsh family was doing various online activities: Stan was randomly exploring, Shelly was chatting with her online girlfriend Amir from Montana, and Randy (secretly) watching porn internet. Sharon sent them all to bed for the night, insisting that the internet would still be there the next day.
The next morning they found out that they did not have an internet connection. They then rush to the Broflovskis house to use their internet connection, but soon find that the internet also does not work there. Both heads families to Starbucks for free wireless internet, but when they arrived it soon became apparent that the whole internet connection of the city was down. TV news, which has no reports without internet, gives clear rumors about Silicon Valley Internet access. After eight days without internet, the Marsh family decided to "go out of the way Californee ". When Marshes reached California, they were stationed in the Red Cross "Internet refugee camp" so crowded that every family allowed only 40 seconds of internet access a day.
Randy quickly became agitated and complained to a guard he'd never trapped in more than two weeks. Randy explains to the guard that he has become so used to being able to find every talisman he wants with a single mouse click that he "can not really go back to Playboy." At night, the camp computer is locked inside for the night. Randy decides to sneak in to use it secretly, looking for strange sexual amulets like "Japanese girls vomiting in their respective mouths," animalistic, and "Brazilian porn farts". As she masturbates while watching the video, her hard moan attracts attention and she is found in front of a computer that is covered from head to tip in semen. He tries to explain that the "creepy ghost" makes him slim with ectoplasm. A guard discovers that Randy has used the few connections they have.
Meanwhile, the government has been trying to find a way to fix the "internet", a huge machine that resembles a giant Linksys wireless router, which has stopped functioning for unknown reasons. Some unsuccessful attempts were made to fix it: negotiating with her, communicating with her musically, and even photographing her. Acting on suspicion, Kyle disconnected and reconnected the power cord. The network indicator is now glowing green to indicate that the national Internet access has been rebuilt, greatly surprising everyone.
After the internet was restored, Randy delivered a speech wearing native American clothes, warning about excessive use of "natural resources" (a parody of the long monologue speech given by Steven Seagal about the environment at the end of the Deadly Land). Randy says that people must learn from experience and stop "over-logging on", because they may not be ready as a result if the Internet is permanently lost. He advises people to stop browsing aimlessly, just use it when absolutely necessary and only see porn " twice a day... max. "

There is a close reference Encounters, and the revelation that "the Internet" is just a giant router.Kyle estimates that all you have to do just pull and re-install - all-catcher solution ".
