Let us speculate

I believe that after 4.54 billion years, God has gotten pretty bored. After the making of the Earth, creating life, and the birth and death of Jesus, he ran out of things to do, so he decided to let us kill ourselves.

We are, however, taking way too much time to die, so he decided every now and then to come in and nudge us along, much like how you set your city on fire and watch it burn to the ground in SimCity. This resulted in things such as the Great Depression, World War II, George W. Bush and the internet. But somehow we managed to turn all of them around with the intervention of (ironically)World War II, nukes, the presidential term and porn, respectively. So this time God pulled a double Shyamalan on us and created a problem we can't possibly solve without nuclear genocide - he introduced the internet to morons. Very cunning, if you ask me.

This has resulted in Lolcats, 2G1C and Mousehunt. Why do I think God did it, you ask? Because I refuse to believe that he would make a bunch of people who complain that they - for 3 hours a week - are unable to click a fucking button every fifteen minutes without the intent of having half the population go apeshit and murdering the other half in hope of cleansing the world of these wastes of resources.
