Ten Years Of TMI: The 00's From A To Z
We started this decade with such high hopes. The Future! The Millenium! Pets.com! As the clock struck Midnight on January 1, 2000, it seemed that the whole world was at our grasp. We were, mostly, at peace. The economy was, mostly, sound. Our culture was blissfully vapid and even more blissfully self absorbed. Reality was merely a genre of TV. Alas, those Halcyon days are long gone, replaced by year after infuriating year of terrorist attacks, overreaction to terrorist attacks, unnecessary wars, botched disaster handling, superstitious mallarky treated with greater respect than science, and an economy plunging faster than Jude Law's box office receipts. Now, looking back on the last ten years, everyone agrees that question of what, exactly, to call this decade,has been answered: We all just lived through the Fuck-This-Decade Decade.
So what was so awful about it? Surprisingly, not everything, but most of it was! Come with us on a magical trip through the History of America's ignoble decline, and find out for yourself! Enjoy our belated Christmas gift to you, Ten Years Of TMI: The 00's from A To Z! (Roberto Rizzato, via Flickr)
