No joke: Comedian Louis C.K. quits the Internet - CNET

"I don't like the way it feels anymore," he said. "Especially in my hand. The devices, I don't like this thing, that I stare into this thing."

He said he hates the fact that it upsets him and that he still looks at things that upset him.

"I guess I just like the hit," he said.

What does he look at on Google? "Big dicks with nails in them," he admitted.

He said he becomes very upset when his two daughters, who are polite people, wait patiently as he gets another message on his phone.

He described his behavior as "a horrible abandonment."

"I have to think about what I'm doing to this kid," he said.

Whom did he ask to lock his phone out of the Inteet? Why, one of his daughters. "It's supposed to be the other way around to keep your kid off the Inteet," he admitted.

His period of Inteet cold turkey has lasted a month now. He's reading books again.

Most of all, one of his daughters says she's proud of him for stopping looking at "the stupid Inteet."
