Seaside Boardwalk 1920-1940

Often a place to hang out in the sun, sometimes a place to ride rollercoasters, maybe just a place to meet babes, you were everything good and right about America in the early half of the century. It's the sea breeze, the smell of cotton candy on the air, or the clink-clank of the Cyclone behind in the park that defined a whole generation of Americans, and your phasing out after the war could only mean the end of an era.

Everyone seems to have an opinion of you, and be it negative or positive the one thing they're all sure of is that you're from some crazy, unimportant part of the world. Besides that though, you've got some killer car chases, insane stunts, and you made Mel Gibson a star.

Catchy Newspaper Headlines

Your particular brand of information really came of age in this century with real, widespread distribution of city newspapers. With those came the eventual inclusion of so much information that no one person could possibly look through it all. Thus, you were born. Snazzy and informative, you get to the point and look cool doing it. You're the first and last thing someone remembers, and you usually ******* some kind of catchy slogan that can be recited easily at any time.

Often hilarious, sometimes questionable, and rarely involving buttsex, your unique brand of humor is often lost on the simple-minded public. Made famous by such silly magazines as the New Yorker, you've made a name for yourself as the thing to do while skimming magazines or newspapers! You are an irreplacable facet of modern living.

Thank you.

Well, I thought you were a young guy, like the new idea of Super Sonic Transports, and I thought you were a quick witted guy, again like the SST's. Then I figured that that particular air show was more interesting than just the Concorde itself!
Plus I thought you'd think it was a cool story.

ah. it is a cool story i was afraid it had something to do with the whole crashing and killing however many spectators thing.

Mine was pretty great too. The video games one.

This one is rock solid though.

Clearly one of the most entertaining inventions of the century, you challenge the mind to explore and build interesting things. Aimed at kids, you secretly are adored by adults all around the world, and numerous conventions are held around the world in your honor. Of interest, there are currently several theme parks dedicated to you. In them are rides, stores, but most importantly, large cities built out of nothing but-you-guessed it, you.

Yeah! That's rad. I LOVED Legos when I was a kid.

boardwalk, eh?

Nah, that was just a cool added bonus that I thought might make you look dangerous, or mysterious.

Prohibition 1920-33
Though you surely seemed like a good idea at the time, and most feel you were justified in being called the 'Noble Experiment', unfortunetly the United States just wasn't ready for you. With the police turning a blind eye in many cases and the emergence of the illegal 'Speak-Easy', Americans found a way to get their fix. A dangerous repurcussion of this necessity of the people was that booze runners and gagsters came to rule the streets, and overall people were much less safe while you were around.

heh, right on.

Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager: Founders of Studio 54
http://www.drakkar91.com/54/54owners.jpg
These two men who had so admired and so wanted to be a part of Manhatten night life opened Studio 54 in 1977. You had wildly different personalities, but together you had the capacity to, for a year and a half, operate the hottest night club around. Quickly gaining fame and fortune, you stayed in the game long enough to make lots of money and do lots of drugs, but all of this came a price. After a short while the scene was starting to die, and the IRS intervened and shut you down. But you had one hell of a time while it lasted.

bang bang bang?

Originally working on projects virtually ignored by everyone, in the fifties and sixties you rose quickly to become one of the most important filmmakers ever. Your string of critically acclaimed masterpieces left those die-hard fans wondering if you could do any wrong. Well, debatebly you did. Though there is not a single film of yours universally disliked, there seems to be a general resentment of your genius and talent. Some fans in the middle of your career were turned off by the harsh nudity in your films, but those close to you knew that every bit was crucial.

...

wow.

By far the biggest public works project China's undertaken recently, your construction in viewed to be the wonderful equal of the Great Wall. If completed, you will be the largest dam in the world, and will provide clean, hydroelectric power to millions.
However, your price is rapidly multiplying, and your unfinished status is dubious. Your construction forced the displacement of millions of Chinese in the upper Yangtse, and Western engineers question whether you will be worth all the trouble.
But! To the people of China, you are an amazing symbol of their moderninity, and are a great source of pride.

You neglected to mention the fact that it will destroy some of the most beautiful scenerey on the planet and flood innumberable (word? who cares) historical sites. What this has to do with Isle I don't know but I want to be Nixon.

The biological find of the century, you are a key to modern evolutionary understanding. Thought to be a fish known only to the world 60 million years ago, you somehow prevailed and were found in 1938 off the coast of East Africa.

Often marketed at children, always overpriced, and too cutting edge for the public to handle, you were doomed. But those who used to still have fond memories of your graphical capabilities, amazing multitasking options, and exceptional performance.
