Video: Before there was Google, there was "The Kid's Guide to the
Internet" (circa 1997)

OK -- Before anyone asks, I researched this a bit, and it appears
legit -- not a joke, not a parody. The producing firms all existed at
least as late as 1997, and show up in old listings. The main
production house out of Torrance at the time was making infomercials
and other paid content that this video would have slotted into quite
reasonably. So yes, it's almost certainly real. Watch -- and be
amazed. Just don't eat first.
