What the future looks like

Remember how the future was supposed to be all jet packs and monorails?

Here is what the future turned out to be:

London skywriting in Brooklyn

Branding.

  1. isn’t this what the entire 20th century looked like? i’d assume that branding would become more prevalent, not less. those jetpacks may materialize yet, but they’ll be sponsored by nike.

  2. Scott's comment (brought to you by Pepsi) says:

    I used to have apocalyptic nightmares in which the moon exploded. Now, in my dreams I look up and it’s a giant Pepsi orb.

  3. Dave says:

    With the exchange rate being what it is, can Brooklynites even afford London?

  4. Heh, I love it.

    I loved the thought of jetpacks and monorails too, but looking around at my fellow fuck-tardians on the planet, I’m starting to think it’s better this way.

    How do you know jet packs didn’t write this?

    Not totally off-topic, the new Diet Coke Plus is really delicious and, apparently, nutritious!! I have been sold.

  7. Stephanie Wells says:

    Dare I ask? Plus WHAT, exactly?

  8. Rachel says:

    Vitamins, can you believe it? It creeps me out.

    I do like Coke Zero, though.

  9. Was New Coke really that bad? I miss 1985.
