  • devzor, on 11/10/2009, -2/+48Ummm The American decade in 7 minutes*

    hardly any international news was in there.
  • Liam000, on 11/10/2009, -1/+45The summary of the decade for me is:
    I went from 13 years old happy kid to 23 year old miserable bastard.
  • niradg, on 11/09/2009, -4/+26The 2004 tsunami killed over 200,000 people. September 11th killed 3,000. Yet the world, the US in particular, spends geometrically more resources trying to fight terrorism than it does on earthquake and tsunami preparedness.
  • azpat, on 11/10/2009, -1/+20You see a clever montage of news events. This is what I see:
    "you're old. you're ***** old. 10 ***** years went by like that! you're old and you're gonna ***** die. Oh yeah, happy new year."
  • stvnly, on 11/10/2009, -0/+19Star Wars Kid was internet famous before youtube.
  • andoru, on 11/10/2009, -0/+18It's fun to watch this pretending that it's 1999 and the video has mysteriously appeared from a shadowy figure from the future.
  • inactive, on 11/10/2009, -0/+15they rick rolled us
  • PandaBearShenyu, on 11/10/2009, -3/+17How did they miss the most badass Olympics opening ceremony ever? Oh right, it's basically a video about the U.S. with some token international disasters thrown in.

    Buried for *****.
  • Macrozonaris, on 11/10/2009, -1/+14Wow. I didn't know that nothing happened outside USA.
  • Shaggy6ster, on 11/10/2009, -1/+12It was no 1990's, that's for sure.
  • xpinchx, on 11/10/2009, -0/+10They were faking it? My world just got turned upside down. :-(
  • LBUCHA, on 11/09/2009, -3/+12Now That's What I Call Music #s 557 through 567
  • cowman80i9, on 11/10/2009, -1/+10What an eventful decade, glad I got to be a part of it
  • Surkit, on 11/10/2009, -0/+8Halo? Video games become biggest entertainment industry with record setting revenues? completely left out the Xbox360.
  • ramilehti, on 11/10/2009, -2/+10Very US centric.
    Here's what I saw:
    Reagan dies.
    Ford dies.
    Kennedy dies.
    Who cares?

    No global warming.
    No ecological catastrophy.
    Not one famine.

  • xpinchx, on 11/10/2009, -0/+8Same boat, I also realized I'm kind of old. Some of those events 2000-2004 made me realize how long ago high school was. Damn.
  • devzor, on 11/10/2009, -1/+9spot on, dear fellow

  • enantiodromia, on 11/09/2009, -2/+8How much is Thailand spending on keeping America safe from terrorists?
  • kidgentry, on 11/10/2009, -0/+5Always find a way to turn it around on the Yanks huh. Although I think there might be a couple more practical applications for a few trillion dollars than 'tsunami preparedness'.
  • eastwood24, on 11/09/2009, -1/+6Profit motive.
  • dystra, on 11/10/2009, -0/+5my twenties.....gone.
  • centran, on 11/10/2009, -0/+5Apples and Oranges.
    We have a scientific limitation with earthquakes. Research can be done but have to wait for an earthquake to happen to crunch real data.
  • BungDiddy, on 11/10/2009, -0/+5I have the sneaking suspicion that Microsoft is behind all of these "7" lists and videos I'm seeing lately...

  • yocouchdigga, on 11/10/2009, -0/+4The military-industrial complex is a global issue.
  • sapphirecut, on 11/10/2009, -1/+5why 7 minutes? shouldn't it be ten years in ten minutes? just wondering... lol
  • boredco, on 11/10/2009, -0/+47 minutes? Don't they realise I'm from the MTV generation? I can't concentrate anything like that long.
  • RAAFStupot, on 11/10/2009, -1/+5Wow - We're nearly 10% through C21 already.

    (Notwithstanding the fact that the 21st Century started on January 1st 2001, which means that we are approximately 8.8571897930128134924980834519768% of the way through C21, as of time of writing.)

  • inactive, on 11/10/2009, -0/+3"No global warming."

    We've been hearing the global warming shtick for 30 years now, it's not a decade thing.
  • bci84, on 11/10/2009, -1/+4They forgot Madoff.
  • DolphinGL, on 11/10/2009, -0/+3No, there is still a year, one month, and 21 days left for this decade.
    The next decade starts on 2011.
  • L0NER, on 11/10/2009, -1/+4The decade of Bush.

  • dlite922, on 11/11/2009, -0/+3Class of 2003

    Damn.

    9/11 was during my first period Physics class in sophomore year.
  • Navicerts, on 11/10/2009, -0/+3More like a decade through the eyes of a american news agency. Watch it through this point of view and it makes sense when the brush over 400,000 people dead then talk about Borat for longer.
  • Drewboy64, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2I tip my hat to your list. Any list with Thievery Corporation and/or Boards of Canada gets my vote.
