Silly Anonymous, everybody knows how to break the internet.

I came for the naughty, but I'm staying for th Dethklok. Also, those guys are idiots. Saving the internet by annoying thousands of people by shutting stuff down? That's just as retarded as the stuff they are protesting against.
It'll be a fail. If they couldn't take down amazon.com, they can't take down 13 DNS servers. I don't know much, but I'm operating under the assumption that the DNS servers require much and more traffic to shut down. Whichever anon came up with this is a complete moron. They're just crying wolf now. The days where they had any shock value are over. It's just gonna be one failed DDoS attack after another now.
I'm also surprised, yet again, at how badly reporters handle any story relating to anonymous or internet culture.
"Anonymous has never offered any evidence that it is capable of generating enough traffic to flood the root servers...?" If the reporter had an inkling of understanding of what anonymous is, they would have reported that the number of people within anonymous who will be performing the attack is uncertain. No person in Anonymous has any true understanding of how many people are actually a part of it, or how many partake in the activist side of things. If there were an elite group that tracked those statistics and organized activist activities, then that phrasing might have worked. But in that case, those individuals would probably have already been arrested. In any case, people need to start doing their homework before they publish.

Protesting a threat of internet freedom by taking down the internet is as useful as washing glassware with a brick. Not very.
Wait, wait, hold on. Are we still in the ProjectEgo inside-joke realm where she's your mother?
Don't pull that one on me!!
Actually, you're right. I was drunk. Ignore me.
