Ballad of a WiFi Hero

This awesome animated video from Vulture and McSweeney’s is making the rounds on the web, based on Mike Lacher’s story, “In Which I Fix My Girlfriend’s Grandparents’ WiFi and Am Hailed As a Conquering Hero” which originally appeared in The Best of McSweeney’s Internet Tendency.
