Take me back to September 27, 2003

Let's go back to the 2000s.

The date is September 27, 2003, and it's a Saturday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Libra. The work week is over and Saturday has finally come, so people are spending time with their kids, going to bars, shopping, playing video games, and watching sports.

Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. The earthy smells of autumn have started to fill the air. In America, the song "Shake Ya Tailfeather" by Nelly & P. Diddy is at the top of the singles charts, while "Where Is The Love" by The Black Eyed Peas is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie The Rundown is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Stargate SG-1", "The Wire", "CSI: Miami", and "MythBusters".

In technology news, more and more people are beginning to gain access to the Internet. Internet speeds are increasing and MP3 sharing is beginning to threaten the existence of music stores. People are using a software program called LimeWire to share music, software, and videos. Unfortunately, it is also a haven for computer viruses. Smartphones don't exist yet. There are no Androids or iPhones.

Cameras on phones are quickly becoming the norm. However, the photographs that they take are still lacking in quality. It's 2003, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of 50 Cent, R. Kelly, Sean Paul, 3 Doors Down, Nelly, Evanescence, Chingy and Beyonce. Internet users are using MSN Messenger and AIM to chat with each other online.

A flash animation of badgers singing "badger, badger, badger" has become a viral hit on the Internet. The animation, which loops indefinitely, was published by British animator Jonti Picking in September 2003. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Robert Kardashian, Crash Holly, Jonathan Brandis, and Soulja Slim would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "RuneScape", "Unreal Tournament 2003", "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2", and "Soulcalibur II".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Johnny Bravo", "Little Bill", "Static Shock", and "One Tree Hill". Children are playing with toys such as Betty Spaghetty (doll), the Game Boy Advance, Cranium Cadoo, and Barbie B-Book Laptop.
