Blogger Hits New Orleans: New Orleans Too Stunned to Hit Back

Blogger flew in to New Orleans and was immediately confronted with an absolutely appalling fact about Louisiana: In Louisiana Starbucks locations there is no wireless internet.

In fact, Blogger has discovered that the reaction of many locals when asked about Wi-Fi in Louisiana is to ask what the internet is and why would it be better without wires?

Blogger has several different explanations of how to explain the internet to New Orleans Locals: For instance, "The internet is a medium where you can find and purchase cigarrettes without paying cigarrette taxes."

However, this is the south, where they are unfamiliar with what a "cigarette tax" is.

When Blogger is seeking to get people to obtain internet themselves, he points out that you can get NASCAR standings in real time. SEC Football scores are just a click away. In fact, you can buy roasted peanuts online and have them delivered to your door!

Blogger feels like a missionary of technology.
