Untitled Genre Comedy/Adventure

Tagline: In an apocalyptic future, one teenage boy will use the last internet datagram to search for the Ultimate Prize, the Girls Gone Wild video server.

My general idea is in the near future a virus of some sort wipes out 95% of the worlds population. The survivors remain in small groups. Communications and electricity were wiped out by lack of people to run the infrastructure. There is no internet porn.

The main teenage character lives in a village where he is the only child. One day a stranger stumbles into town, drunk and telling anyone who will listen that he has knows the last packet to travel the internet. The people ignore him, but let him take an abandoned house and give him a job. He and the protagonist becomes friends, which is how the kid learns about the outside world and the secret of the last datagram: it was a trace route from the old guy's old house to the Girls Gone Wild video server.

So the kid goes out into the wild, tracing one router to the next in search of the final server. Along the way he encouters other villages, raiders and funny references to modern culture (for example, when he stumbles upon the Google headquarters, he comes to believe that the leader of Old America was Paris Hilton because she had the most google hits). The sky's the limit, really.

In the end, he finds the server, and he feels kinda like a creep for watching girls get exploited, but otherwise is content.

This is the first of what I hope to be many movie ideas that are posted to this site. Lets all give Scott some really great ideas so that when he uses one we can claim prior rights and sue him. So Scott, I'm giving this script idea to you (*wink*). Somewhere along the line, there should probably be a farting moose or something so fans of Adam Sandler movies will find something to laugh at.
