Have a Nice Decade: VH1 Tackles The New Millennium
Tonight, VH1 will present the latest installment of its decades-spanning, nostalgia clip 'n' quip series I Love the New Millennium. All your favorite stars—Michael Ian Black! Scott Ian of Anthrax! Um... Michael Ian Black!—will share their insights into the wackiest, most hilarious decade that's nearly 8/10ths over.
In addition to the obligatory Britney Spears and Friendster references, here are a couple of things we hope they find time crack wise about:
2000: George W. Bush, et al., Petitioners v. Albert Gore, Jr., et al.. What the heck!
2001: 9/11. Who can forget that?
2002: Mount Nyiragongo erupts in Congo destroying 14 villages. Oh, man.
2003: U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Still going strong.
2004: Tsunami in South Asia. That was pretty major.
2005: Hurricane Katrina. The decade's turning point.
2006: Hussein executed with 'fear in his face'. The jokes write themselves.
2007: Anti-government protests by monks in Burma turn deadly. Zing!
2008: 18,522 still missing after China quake. Too soon?
