[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfhTPaqKEAE[/media] I love the style this video is in. If there are any more like this, please post them here. I've only managed to find one. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsgRwxx7au0[/media]
I'm gonna sum up what was said in the last thread, they only cover stuff that has to do with the US. Horrible summation of the decade.
The Last Decade in America in 7 minutes.
There was another thread? I searched before I made this thread and I didnt find one. Oh well. And yes, It is 90% US but still, the focus is the editing.

[QUOTE=Combine_dumb;18491731]That's because nothing interesting happens anywhere else.[/QUOTE] Just about half the stuff they talked about happened outside the US, but either in Iraq or Afghanistan.
The Last Decade in America in 7 Minutes With Much More Focus Put On The Last Two Years I was gonna make a video like this, likely in collaboration with FP. I was going to release it on December 31, 2009 and it would be a collection of video clips, no commentary except the occasional news voiceover, of the last ten years. It was going to last exactly ten minutes with a minute for each year. I abandoned it when I realised I had no way to get all the news clips I would require if I wanted it to be in any acceptable resolution.

[QUOTE=Nitrowing;18499856]Some examples of what's missing?[/QUOTE] All the electoral drama from other countries. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto. Pope Benedict being sworn in, and later telling Africans not to wear condoms (which caused a huge uproar). The rise of important figures and big trends in other parts of the world. Sure, they couldn't include every important thing that happened, but they focused on a lot of insignificant stuff instead of more important things that happened around the world. It was mostly "Consumerism, consumerism, middle east, middle east, middle east, consumerism, consumerism, middle east, etc".

4chan had rickrolling way before '08. I hate it when the world is slow to catch on to internet fads. I was saying "fail" to things 4 years ago, everyone I know just started last year.
Wassap was the 90's damnit.

Hell of a decade, wasn't it?
People pull down a statue. They beat it with shoes. Heh.
Rickroll came in 2004, this guy is silly.
[QUOTE=Dclone2;18500527][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK6q_8hu2wk[/media] I think this is only 5 seasons.[/QUOTE] Hmm Lost seems like a soap opera. Not only that, but it seems like the writers are struggling to create new plot material. Still, thanks for actually posting it =)
They should show shit from other countries too.
Best quotes of the video. "Paula's the sweet cooky one, Randy says dog." "...But John McCain has more friends. "Election quickly becomes about lipstick." "Aretha Franklin wears a big hat."
So does anything actually happen in Lost at all or is it just ambigously mysterious wanking for years on end?
[QUOTE=KarlHeinrichMarx;18491669]I'm gonna sum up what was said in the last thread, they only cover stuff that has to do with the US. Horrible summation of the decade.[/QUOTE] Because the author is expected to cover a decades worth of world history in 7 minutes instead.

[QUOTE=cat man;18501438]Rickroll came in 2004, this guy is silly.[/QUOTE] It re-sweeped the nation in 2008. Some real life rick rolling or something on a news network
He missed the death of Billy Mays :911:
Kosovo, US-RF missile shield problems, North Korea nuclear crisis, Hugo Chavez's whole ordeal, Mexican drug wars and immigration issues, finding water on the moon, stem cell advancements, genetic advancements, India's rise, China's rise, Chinese space successes, US-China satellite-missile crisis, London subway bombings, several Israeli-Palestinian wars, Vladimir Putin's Russia, Chinese reforms and censorship, Germany's government issues, the EU's successes and issues, Somalia, Zimbabwe, pirates, tsunamis, and much, much more.
Let's not forget the bird flu.
[QUOTE=Nitrowing;18499856]Some examples of what's missing?[/QUOTE] Well they only spent about 3 seconds on the 2008 olympics, and that was about one person winning.
[QUOTE=smurfy;18509705]7/7[/QUOTE] That was in there, at 3:49
