This comic shows how some very basic information is displayed in a very large, and often unhelpful infographic including unneeded forms of data such as venn diagrams and graphs.<br />

<div>Most modern browsers will convert backslashes in a URL into forward-slashes on submit anyway. And typing a file path into Windows Explorer's address bar using forward-slashes will usually work as well. Not to say that I also despise people incorrectly referring to web addresses as much as the next programmer (probably more), mixing slashes doesn't really break anything.

==Explanation==<br />
[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage TVtropes] is a popular site which allows conversation on {{w|tropes}}. A common joke with the site is how you will read a page, find a certain trope, which will open another tab on your web page. Then, as you read another article, you'll open even more pages. Pretty soon, this will cause an extremely long cycle of opening new pages and closing old ones.<br />
<br />
In the comic, this is exactly what happens to our unfortunate victim. He starts on a single page, then opens more and more tabs on different pages. Pretty soon, he finds himself stuck in a loop of opening pages.<br />
<br />
The last frame refers to {{w|Rickrolling}}, which is the practice of being linked to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" on YouTube. <br />
<br />
The title text refers to the comedy site [http://www.cracked.com Cracked.com]. This site is also known for its addictive articles. Most articles are formated in the same way the title text notes.<br />
<br />
The original comic links to TVtropes' page of [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UniversalTropes Universal tropes]. TVtropes has taken notice and has a welcome letter for you at the end of the main article.<br />
