First note is that I believe the green stick thing being eaten was a licorice. Like one of these:
The second thing I wanted to bring attention to was that the computer monitor that Penn Jillette is monitoring displays, in HUGE letters, the password (GOD) that Joey entered. That is some horrible security to display a top secret password on a wall sized monitor because it was entered by someone, somewhere. It seems like the showing of the used password is the only notification of someone accessing the computer. Also it is left up on screen for a very long time. It pops up when Joey breaks in which notifies Penn, Penn looks into the breach, calls Fisher Stevens, Fisher gets out of bed and travels to the computer/Penn, Fisher skates in and states"Never fear...I is here." and sits down to catch the hacker. In that time the monitor is unchanged and Joey has only clicked a couple of things and started to download the Garbage file.
To go even further into this absurd portion of the movie:
Joey is only clicking through lists, as we can see on his monitor. Penn says then hacker is making a workload of 10 users. He must be clicking very hard.
When Joey opens the Garbage file it shows a strange video of flying code that mesmerizes the boy. I hadn't watched this movie in years and so forgot what happened, but I began to think that there was going to be some kind of Chuck/Intersect mind download about to happen. But, no. Not at all.
