  • skateboard1, on 03/26/2008, -0/+57That's what I wear when I'm out flying my car.
  • MarkusGarvey, on 03/26/2008, -2/+75wow!!... I'm wearing the same outfit the last guy has on right now!...except my hat is made out of tinfoil......and no pants....
    • fluxion, on 03/26/2008, -0/+10holy ***** man, the woman weren't all that crazy, but the guy at the end was just stupendously ridiculous

      though they were right about being fitted with a telephone at least (cell phones).
      • ElWizardo, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5Why did the man look like a suicide bomber? Coincidence or a true glimpse into the future?
      • jrbrewin, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3the guy was just sporting combat pant fashion from a few years ago.. so it wasn't that far fetched. he was even fitted with a mobile phone and a radio (mp3 player).
        pretty accurate predictions, albeit with a 30's twist, if you ask me.
  • covertress, on 03/26/2008, -0/+17digg that fanny pack
    • BillGod, on 03/26/2008, -0/+15It's to hold "Candy for your cuties" Man that made me laugh!
    • bradleyland, on 03/26/2008, -0/+10Excuse me, it's a utility belt.

      *clears throat*
  • punkcat, on 03/26/2008, -9/+2i can't believe we used to say aluminum like that.
    • blate, on 03/26/2008, -1/+4It's shocking and unbelievable
    • alexpigment, on 03/26/2008, -1/+9that's how british people say it. in fact that's how british people SPELL it. and considering all the other elements that end with "ium", it seems more correct than how we Americans say it.
      • CeeJayDK, on 03/26/2008, -1/+2And thats how Americans said it , in the 1930's
    • raid517, on 03/26/2008, -3/+4It's just that you Yanks are lazy - and barely know how to speak the language you got from this country, let alone spell it.
      • Twisty, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5What eva eva, we do what we want! :)
      • alexpigment, on 03/26/2008, -1/+3whoa whoa wait a second, raid517 (also, you aren't as cool as raid516). i'm not defending the way the british people spell/pronounce EVERYTHING. in fact, their flippant use of the letter "r" kills me. either pronounce it or don't, don't use it when you choose to. also, the fact that you add an "r" to the end of a word that ends with a vowel when the next word begins with a vowel... it's just sickening. "lindER and I went blah blah". your wife's name is Linda, i'm sure she doesn't appreciate that. also, strawberry has 3 syllables, not two. and SOME of you people need to start teaching your kids the sound "TH" at an early age, otherwise they'll all be saying FINK and FANKS and FIRSTY. END OF RANT.
    • theone3, on 03/26/2008, -0/+4Actually there is no one correct spelling for aluminium. The name has an odd history and has been a subject of much back and forth since its discovery, when it was named, incorrectly, alumium. Here is a history: http://www.worldwidewords.org/articles/aluminium.h ...

      This is one of those rare cases where the Brits have absolutely no right to complain about the American Spelling Standardisation board's language-destroying work.
      • theone3, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Er... sorry, Spelling Simplification Board, not Standardisation
  • insomniac8400, on 03/26/2008, -0/+35The men's clothing was spot on.
    • richmessenger, on 03/26/2008, -0/+22They didn't predict the popped collar. No one could have
    • brundlefly76, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1They anticipated the cell phone although they figured we would want them holstered in the center of our chests.
      They also accurately predicted the resurgence of the goatee.
      The special belt holster for giving candy to women was way off the mark.

      I don't know why we don't have more tesla coils around these days though - almost all future predictions from this era insisted we would adopt them liberally.

      • tyywebb, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2I for one always carry candy for cuties.
  • fl00d, on 03/26/2008, -1/+14The wedding dress looks like it is from the '80s.
  • vanityfarewell, on 03/26/2008, -1/+74Ooo Swish!!!
    • kaelyiesta, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4Thanks digg. Now I know what a gay british accent sounds like.
  • Blanchflower, on 03/26/2008, -1/+15I want a mobile phone I plug into my chest like that guy. It knocks the iPhone into a cocked electric headlight.
    • userperson, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2It's like the radios construction workers & police use.
  • metallikop, on 03/26/2008, -13/+9Ohh, swish!
  • C4noodles, on 03/26/2008, -10/+3Absolutely spiffy!
    • C4noodles, on 03/26/2008, -7/+2/sarcasm for those who aren't catching on.
      • umpres, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6Wait... No sorry, definitely not catching on.
      • theragu40, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6Sarcasm? I do not think that word means what you think it means...
  • woody56292, on 03/26/2008, -0/+60"one designer even went so far as to say women wouldn't be wearing dresses at all"

    wow there's a forward thinker for ya.
    • surKaz, on 03/26/2008, -0/+16Give it time...
    • userperson, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6The future's gonna be great!
      http://youtube.com/watch?v=fp9EXg0J6jw
      ... or will it?
    • CedEx, on 03/26/2008, -1/+5That would be a step backwards I'd say. Women look great in dresses.
      • woody56292, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1i completely agree. by forward thinker I meant accurate predictor.
    • celticchrys, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3It's almost like that. You can only really purchase a sundress or an evening gown in most stores now. Makes it difficult if you actually like to wear dresses.
      • MirandaJanell, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3You're going to the wrong stores.
  • offspring06, on 03/26/2008, -7/+2They were way off.
  • michelsonmorley, on 03/26/2008, -0/+39"He'll be fitted with a telephone, a radio, and a container for coins and keys."
    Cell phone: Check. MP3 Player: Check. Wallet: Check. Light on top of my head: Only on weekends, but check (for caving).
  • harvested, on 03/26/2008, -1/+84So that's what I'm doing wrong, I always forget the candy for cuties
    • surKaz, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5That's not gonna help you much...
    • fluxion, on 03/26/2008, -1/+13in the 1930's "candy" was slang for Rohypnol
    • whxre, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3If you need candy, I've got plenty in my van..

      for free ;)
    • Flashtone, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1My grandpa use to carry about butterscotch.. i hate that crap! but i ate it.
  • bjs3171, on 03/26/2008, -3/+1i'd say this is closer to now, than the outfits Star Trek TNG predicted in most of their episodes.
    • celticchrys, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5ST: TNG is predicting a handful of centuries in the future from now. Other than to say that we will probably be able to have lightweight outfits that can adequately keep us warm/cool, that's hard to predict.
  • Samsong, on 03/26/2008, -9/+2Come here cuty, have some candy.
  • sholt, on 03/26/2008, -1/+14Apparently, if that last outfit was any clue, in the 30's designers thought that we would fall into the earth's "evil twin" alternate universe.
  • namelessXsilent, on 03/26/2008, -0/+24All im thinking of is the Conan O'Brien "in the year 2000!" skit
    "Oh Swish"
  • nmc9, on 03/26/2008, -1/+9no good man would go out of the house without candy for cuties
  • iamclassic, on 03/26/2008, -0/+17Would someone tell me why all the 'future' clothing always has angles or points on the shoulders?
    • HonoredMule, on 03/26/2008, -0/+7Because we've all evolved into eggheads who must use padded shoulders and similar tactics to attract women with the illusion of physical stature and strength.
    • celticchrys, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6Because pointy clothing is impractical, it is rarely in style in real life. Therefore, adding such things to your design makes it unusual and different from the daily now, which is an easy way to seem futuristic.
  • LValentino, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5Where's my damn TV-Phone-Watch ?
  • Frost9999, on 03/26/2008, -1/+51Coins - check!
    Keys - check!
    Candy for Cuties - check!
  • AttilaD, on 03/26/2008, -0/+4I love how the comic-relief men's accessories turn out to be 100%
  • prgmctan, on 03/26/2008, -1/+5Some of the clothes were not too far off from what some people wear today.
  • liah, on 03/26/2008, -2/+6I liked the "oh, swish!" Added a bit of effect to the whole thing.
  • upikupik123, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5"electric headlight to find an honest man...."
    hmm.. handy.... but the shape is ridiculous.. lol..
  • benbrooks101, on 03/26/2008, -2/+5This isn't actually too far off...
  • themarq, on 03/26/2008, -0/+34Funny, I didn't see anyone's thong sticking out of the top of their pants. Nor was there a single Stone Cold Steve Austin T-Shirt.
  • gittenlucky, on 03/26/2008, -7/+12REPOST! Doesn't anyone look through the old posts before submitting?
    • headband, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3seriously...I don't mind if something good gets posted again 6months or so down the road but this was on the front page like a week ago
  • KiLGO, on 03/26/2008, -4/+3"O Swish!"... LOL! :D
  • richmessenger, on 03/26/2008, -2/+43Clothing of the future as seen on the front page of Digg last week
    http://digg.com/comedy/Film_from_1930_about_fashio ...
    • lazycat, on 03/26/2008, -1/+8Honestly, I've missed that. I apologize.
    • richmessenger, on 03/26/2008, -1/+6It's not your fault Digg's dupe checker never catches this stuff. Unless you word the title and description are worded almost exactly the same it's not that effective.
    • GiggleStick, on 03/26/2008, -0/+9They predicted the future!
    • 06metzp, on 03/26/2008, -0/+7Ah, but see - *this* one wasn't from doubleviking.
      • daborg, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Not being from Doubleviking does grant you automatic points.
    • userperson, on 03/26/2008, -1/+3It's called a re-run.
    • mentor972, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1I'm gonna post it again right now and see what retards digg it again.
  • jabz, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5how cool is that..."hair light"
  • SoundJudgment, on 03/26/2008, -0/+7Your Emperor, Ming the Merciless approves this movie-reel.
  • Stroid, on 03/26/2008, -4/+0haha candy for cuties!
  • peaceninja, on 03/26/2008, -2/+6oooh, swish!

    (edit: looks like 8 people before me already said it)
  • gregrp, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Its the sleeves what does it!
  • sedawk, on 03/26/2008, -2/+3How many times must this be posted? Digg did warn the poster that this was already posted, yes? How does a silly video that was on the front page last week get promoted again!
    • Yesplease, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1Well, when someone sees something they like they post it. If it looks like something other people might be interested in they post it to digg. If other people haven't seen it before they digg it up. Then, when it has enough diggs after being run through the almighty algorithm it gets to the front page. Often, posts that some have seen on the intertubes, others have not, and so the remaining people find it nice that things get posted a second time so they can enjoy the content as well! Have a swell day!
  • purplehaze420, on 03/26/2008, -1/+6Was this not submitted, like, last week ?
  • MrErr, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5That high up hair did come true ... except it was earlier in the 1980's.
  • bbkingadrock, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5I love a woman in a pair of cantilevered heels.
  • nlaskin, on 03/26/2008, -1/+0I want some of that cutie candy...they sure know how to sway a lady!
  • wanny19, on 03/26/2008, -1/+4I could listen to that "ooo swish" all day!
  • patch6, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3The hair light isn't "in" yet. Give it a few more years.
  • jayb1rd, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3I wish more guys would carry around "candy for cuties". That would be awesome.
  • jessejansen, on 03/26/2008, -3/+0intresting sound fragment... music Of The Future as seen in 2008...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmkucy0Yvyg&eurl
    • iamnobody8614, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2a fair amount of people are not going to click on that, thinking that it's a Rick Roll
  • Typhoon2009, on 03/26/2008, -0/+4I'm glad skirts are still around, in their miniature form.
    And lmao @ "candy for cuties"
  • n8o8, on 03/26/2008, -2/+1Ohh Swish!
