Finally!

There's nothing worse than international flights. They're cramped, long, and boring.

One of those things is about to change (it's the boring part, if you didn't read the headline)! United is becoming the first U.S. airline to offer Wi-Fi on their international flights!! Of course, this is going to cost you: you can pick between two internet speeds — a standard speed between $4 and $15 or an accelerated speed ranging between $6 and $20.

Honestly, that extra $20 bucks will be worth it if we can tweet from 30,000ft on a trip to Tokyo. Yeah, bitch!

Will U be breaking out UR wallet??

Discounting hobos who prefer Yellow Pages brand toilet paper, when's the last time anyone entered a phone booth?

Fifteen years ago, it was awesomely convenient that New York City had a hundred-qaudrillion pay phones on pretty much ever street corner, just ask Colin Farrell (above)!

Now they're useless! Anachronistic! Abandoned temples to worship forgotten hardline Gods!

Or at least they were, LOLz!!

NYC officials have embraced the environmentally friendly philosophy of "adaptive reuse," and instead of wasting resources to remove all these phone booths, they've decided to transform them into something useful — WiFi hotspots!!

Hooray for recycling! It's adorbsies!!

And high-fives for New York!!

You hear that, Occupy Wall Street protestors? You've got a friend in Michael!

Earlier this week, Michael Moore announced that he'll be donating some proceeds from his newest book Here Comes Trouble to help support the cause. Not only that, but he's ALSO trying to set up wi-fi in demonstration sites all over the nation.

Here's what he had to say about it:
