"yet another designer goes so far as to believe skirts will disappear entirely"
lol.
I love that, while not predicting the year 2000, they predicted the 40's pretty well.
ETA: Well aside from what the gentleman was wearing. I don't know what the heck that is.

"I haven't left this building since Windows 3.1!"
"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!"
-E!'s "The Soup"

Posted: 3/21/08 at 9:32amI hope they come up with that "electric belt to adapt the body to climactic changes" soon! We could use it.

I loved the "Ooooooh, swish!" part too.
EDIT: I think my favorite is the "electric headlight to help her find an honest man."
Oh, somebody invent that, quick.

LOL. This one's even freakier! And I don't know which is more futuristic-hilarious, the sci-fi TV show, or the talk show where they discuss it.

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes

Hey, it was the '30s! Nothing was PC!
These short films predicting the future are hilarious. I kinda wonder why we don't do that as much (if at all) anymore.
Is it because we think the future is so bleak and awful? Nobody's championing it (at least not "hopefully") the way they used to.
Sad times, I guess. Or we just think we're all beyond that, I guess.
But I remember when people used to be excited about what was coming the future. Not fearful or depressed.
