serious business
From Interdex, the community-edited guide to the local internet.
Serious business is a phrase used when someone is taking something too seriously, such as the internet. IRC, Equivocal Haven, takeovers, and Interdex are all serious business, because the internet is serious business.

[edit] Another example
so about jacob ( bewterz )
a friend of mine called him up today..
considering i'm personal friends with him and so is she..
and this is what he said happened.
the police came to his house because of the spamming,
so yes they did come, he wasn't just making all that up for a good scare.
the parentals weren't too happy about this so they have grounded him from the internet for a year. harsh punishment.
and jacob was quoted saying " the policemen are scaryyyyyyyyy"
just thought yall should all know.
we will miss him.
