That blackout was 10 years ago? Damn.
I remember I could drive about a half out to get to an area that had power.
McDonalds never tasted so good.

[NussieT]

I remember hearing about the blackout... I had power so I didn't care...

[Chip]

The most important bit of information I remember taking away from the blackout was that it was Ohio's fault.
Ohio. Am I right?

[Derick]

I would rather not be associated with the east coast.

Ok, we'll just consider you North Kansas.

I was 24 when this blackout was going down. I don't remember hearing about it. I don't really remember much from back then at all actually.

Bombs Bombs Bombs Bombs

2. FIRST MIDEAST PEACE TALKS IN FIVE YEARS

Bombs Bombs Bombs Bombs

3. AIR FORCE NUCLEAR UNIT FAILS INSPECTION

AT least we are good at failing

4. TEEN KIDNAP VICTIM IS GLAD CAPTOR IS DEAD
Hannah Anderson went online barely 48 hours after her rescue and answered questions about captivity and about being a teenager on a social networking site.
Umm, doesn't it go without saying that she's happy he's dead?

5. GUNMAN, HOSTAGE KILLED AFTER BANK STANDOFF
Police say a man took three people captive at a Louisiana bank, released one after nine hours then shot the remaining two before police killed him.
Now if the hostage was a gun carrying citizen..... Nevermind....

6. WHEN EUROPE'S RECESSION WILL BE OVER
Now. Official figures out today say the 17 nations that use the euro saw their output grow by 0.3 percent in the second quarter.
Fuck Europe! I'll care about them when I have 3 cars, 2 motorcycles and a big house.

7. SUIT BLOCKS AMERICAN AIRLINES, US AIRWAYS MERGER
The deal would have left four airlines controlling more than 80 percent of the U.S. air-travel market.
If they wind up with too many unused planes after the merger we should crash them into Egypt.

8. DEADLY EXPLOSION ON INDIAN SUBMARINE
The Navy says some of the 18 sailors aboard have been killed by the blast that sent a huge fireball into the air and sent sailors jumping into the sea.
It was built in Russia and piloted by Indians. It was destined for failure.

9. ACTRESSES PUSH ANTI-PAPARAZZI LAW
Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner testified that the constant presence of photographers unfairly expose their children.
Who cares about Jennifer Garner and Hallie Berry anymore??? ON a side note, something really needs to be done about paparazzi.

10. WHERE WERE YOU DURING THE '03 BLACKOUT
An Ohio woman remembers the lights going out on her wedding day. The outage hit 50 million people from Michigan to New England.
I was in Jersey not giving a shit about New England.

Why not take the free upgrade when you can?

[LeNeve]

I had no idea that europe was even recessed.

[Joe]

I was 24 when this blackout was going down. I don't remember hearing about it. I don't really remember much from back then at all actually.

Anything before 2005 was all ass, alcohol and work. World events didn't matter much to me.
