Take me back to July 28, 2010

Let's go back to the 2010s.

It is Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Leo. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

The summer of 2010 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. In America, the song "California Gurls" by Katy Perry is at the top of the singles charts, while "We No Speak Americano" by Yolanda Be Cool is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Despicable Me is at the top of the box office.

David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment. Sadly, it seems as though they will be unable to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. It's 2010, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Kesha, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Eminem and Bruno Mars.

People are going to their local cinema to watch a new movie called "Inception". In celebrity news, actor Orlando Bloom and model Miranda Kerr have been married in a secret ceremony. Missing NBA player Lorenzen Wright has been found shot to death near a wooded area outside of Memphis, Tennessee.

A local news interview of Antoine Dodson telling people to "hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband" because "they rapin' err'body out here" has become an Internet sensation. The video has inspired several musical remixes, such as the "Bed Intruder Song" by The Gregory Brothers. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Lance Cade, Giant Gonzalez, Denise Borino-Quinn, and Leslie Nielsen would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "CSI: Miami", "Glee", and "Community".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Farmville", "Borderlands", "Battlefield: Bad Company 2", and "God of War III". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "SpongeBob SquarePants", "The Backyardigans", "Wonder Pets!", and "iCarly".
