I'm not normally a real big fan of cracked dot com's "humorous articles", but this one: http://www.cracked.com/article_18453_5-reasons-internet-could-die-at-any-moment.html actually could be of use (at least for a laugh about Bill Murray and Kraken). Actually one of the better "layman" explanations of net neutrality, the wal-mart effect on the net, and botnets I've seen lately.
