A Look Back at 2009: Part 1 (Draft)

Americans were asked to buy even more things in 2009, but two stick out as contenders for an end-of-the-year list. What's interesting is that we'll ultimately come to remember these two things because of the intense, "“Shock and Awe"-style they were promoted, instead of their quaility as a product. Which is sad because both items proved to be nothing but over-hyped nonsense. Of course, I’m talking about Swine Flu and the Nancy Meyers’ movie “It’s Complicated.”
