Newsweek made a video titled “The Decade in 7 Minutes,” which could have been a fun look back except that 9/11, George W. Bush, and Afghanistan all happen in the first 30 seconds and then you start looking at your watch because, man, this has been a rough one!




























Best of the decade in Nov. 2009? Newsweek is like “FIRST”.
“Flags everywhere!”
Patriotism isn’t dead, it’s just contracted terminal stupid.
This overlooks the real tragedy: the decade is almost over and we still haven’t come up with a catchy name for it. We still have a month and half for “the naughty aughties” to catch on, help me out people.
I vote for “the guidos”.
Why is your avatar resistant to hover enlargement? Creepy.
Iconoclasm? I have no idea.
The 2:(:(:(‘s
(the two-frownzens?)
The frownies!
The Flaming Douchies (which is also, coincidentally, the name of my next band)
apparently natural disasters are a lot rougher on countries that aren’t America. I guess that’s the benefit of having a god-loving president.
We “ought” to forget the “Aughts”! It has been a truly abysmal decade from start to finish and I cannot wait for 2012 to come and wipe everything out.
Welp, the Katrina response still has the power to make me feel really sad and angry. Thanks for reminding me, Newsweek.
This is officially the most solemn comment to ever start with the word “Welp”
At least we’re only five years away from hoverboard technology.
Thanks for reminding me how much the past decade sucked, Newsweek.
I wanna go back to the 90′s when I was a kid and still naively believed that everything was great and that people would always the “right” person for president (aka what my parents thought because I was a kid) and he would make everything good and happy.
