    I remember “ordering” those silicon Wii condoms (they were freely distributed as a measure of people breaking shit, hurting other family members, etc because people wouldn’t use the wrist straps), and was so proud of getting away with ordering 4 while I only had 3 Wiimotes. I really thought I stuck it to the big company :p

    I guess I’m “this old”? I remember watching the Berlin wall get smashed on TV, and the collapse of the soviet Union a year or two later. I was a Lil kid in the U.S, so both events meant fuck all to me. I was busy being awesome in my MC Hammer parachute pants.

      I was really confused why my mom was crying because people were breaking a wall down.

      And then Knight Rider was there for some reason.

      And then we got a small bag of concrete in the mail that was apparently from the wall that made my mom cry.

    I am so old I remember the Wii-mote being sold without the condom that they started selling after so many people broke their new expansive flatscreen tv’s. Tube tvs faired better
