Clueless Woman Calls Tech Show When Her Stolen Wi-Fi Disappears
http://mashable.com/2010/02/22/stolen-wifi-confusion/

Yeah, everyone has stolen Wi-Fi at one point or another, but not  
everyone has called into a tech show in order to complain about the  
fact that someone put the kibosh on said stealing.
Meet Jennifer, she had been unwittingly yoinking Wi-Fi for more than a  
year and a half when the gravy train ran out, after which she called  
into Leo Laporte’s Tech Guy radio show in a state of utter confusion.

After hitting YouTube  this weekend — the show aired on Saturday — the  
video depicting Laporte interviewing the confused woman has gone  
viral, racking up 122,661 views at the time of this post.

Maybe it’s Jennifer’s innocent confusion (“Yeah, well they should  
bring that cost down”), maybe it’s Laporte’s gentle/yet amused  
explanation that she was, in fact, putting her Internet privacy at  
risk while simultaneously breaking the law (“So you have — silly  
question, but I’m gonna ask it anyway — you have a  wireless access  
point to begin with?”), but something about this vid is striking a  
chord with Internet denizens.
