20 years ago, this month would have been a parody Cannoli Send a noteboard - 03/11/2016 10:23:00 PM

Seriously, imagine the reaction if you said to someone in 1996 that 2016 would feature the following:
- Ghostbusters would be remade featuring an all-female cast.
- Game of Thrones would be a wildly popular TV show, instead of an obscure new novel
- Video stores would be extinct and book stores hot on their heels
- For interpersonal telecommunication, video had been all but perfected, and effectively been rejected, in favor of various typewritten media
- Playboy magazine no longer featured nude photos
- The presidential election is between Hilary Clinton & Donald Trump...
- ...less than a week after the Cubs win the World Series

They'd laugh at you. They would honesty think you were telling a joke, and if they didn't laugh, it would be because they'd still be waiting for the punchline about four guys on horses.
