Overly melodramatic and cheesy Boston TV channel news report about a computer virus outbreak discovered by MIT nerds. Fun because they don’t just report on the virus – they interview geeks, and insert random clips from retro videogames and TV movies to illustrate what a virus is. Remember, this was 1988!
Video Rating: 4 / 5
CNN interupts program on both CNN International as well as CNN USA to bring “breaking news” about a computer worm infecting CNN.

“Part time virus hunter” you say? well with a hat, beard and pair of glasses like that, I suppose what else could you be?
maybe if someone invented an….anti…virus…..software? we could get that amish guy in the video to do it
2:27 TOOTALy racist XD
OH GOD!!! MY PORN
haha my norton 360 blocked this shit
These computers look like they’re from 1968
@babyaiko yes very armish lol
Who started this virus?
@Cjs67Burphi Twenty two years old.
@scorpionfights It’s 1988 actually. And that isn’t even that old
@mattfox14 You mean Amish
@scorpionfights Your mother. My dick. Right just now.
@naireland
Yeah as if the worst video game in history has anything to do with a computer virus. Granted the ET video game was insidious but it was by no means a virus.
@babyaiko hahaha xD
hahah Armish!
@axello91 obviously your completely autistic.
Mark Eichin looks like he’s amish lol
@scorpionfights Yeah. It’s 1988, as it says in the title.
1998? looks more like 1898 to me.
Lmfao. Its like an epidemic.
I thought Amish people didn’t use electronics?????LMAO
computer viruses! LOL :?D the fish fuckers back in the day didn´t knew the half of it . glory to the mother fucker who wrote that bitch.
@naireland that and the superman 3 clip at the end
Sorry, but these are the geekiest looking guys I’ve ever seen. Yikes!
This was channel 2 in Boston, a public television station. Its Ten O’Clock news was fairly short-lived.
In order to bring you this breaking news report CNN has brought out its emergency Mac.
if bill gates made a virus we all would be fucked
@benjabean1 100% correct dude
use Fucking Linux enough said
lol low impace means THE WORM DOESNT DO SHIT
@zang274 AND NO!! 😀 😀
shut up macfag.
1:48 his computer starts shutting down
@vargulf19 AND MAC!! 😀 😀
LINUX FOR THE WIN!!!
“anti-cyber-terrorists”? that’s a mouthful
Lol, all it is is a shutdown virus
windows 2000? wow! common its CNN
WAS LOU DOBBS WATCHING PORN
windows os it is the best os to attacked!!!!!
1:49 You can see the mouse flash, then it say “Critical error! I need to shut down, NOW, BITCH!”
If they were running Linux this wouldn’t have happened.
@rogerpenskefan12 They use it cuz’ it works for what they need. Why would they need to upgrade what OS they had when theirs was working just fine? Their money would be better spent on finding news stories than worrying about something that doesn’t make a difference to the person watching the show. OS Meh.
Blaster Worm sucks ass.
Apparently there’s a string in the viral strand saying,
I just want to say LOVE YOU SAN!!
&
billy gates why do you make this possible ? Stop making money
and fix your software!!
@frenchdweeb999 so how else can you get this can you get it by using win2000 or XP vista and windows7?
@cookingboy3 so how else can you get this can you get it by using win2000 or XP vista and windows7?
@DarthWobbey i’m doing your mom, beeyatch!
@DarthWobbey No, not really. It’s technically safer due to having less viruses, but that’s about as far as it goes. If Mac were to ever become the market leader, it would need some serious enhancements to deal with the influx of viruses it would start getting.
@NDogg15 Isn’t it?
That’s what you get for running 2000.
@DarthWobbey Let me guess. You think that OS X is more secure than Windows, right? lol
