At Cracked (very funny niche they’ve carved, but there’s alway a language alert), saw this mocking bit on Hollywood not understanding technology. It’s a pretty funny rant about how far you need your head up your butt to make some of those mistakes.
Mr. Cheese points out that all those mistakes could have been avoided by either knowing one jot or tittle about the subject or doing ten to fifteen seconds of research on the Web. Otherwise,

Oh, and say “Roll Tide!” before you leave this page. Like you mean it.
It is the price of admission to the wormhole.

Strange.
