The Emergency Broadcast System ?
crabby3:
In the US the Emergency Broadcast System *tests* have been around since the old duck-and-cover days and equally useful... IMO. Teats on a boar? :-\
Useless or not... shouldn't there be an Internet version as well? Where most eye balls are these days?
Maybe an annoying crawler that can be stopped or turned off?
Renegade:
You can't have an EMS on something like the Internet as the Internet doesn't guarantee transmission.
Radio waves are more reliable. Blah. Stuff like that.

How would radio waves inform anyone if they are staring at a computer screen or cell phone?
The internet is already clogged with useless crap... why not a little more?
