Take me back to November 27, 2011

Let's go back to the 2010s.

The date is November 27, 2011, and it's a Sunday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the week ahead.

In America, Thanksgiving and Black Friday have recently come and passed. People are now beginning to look forward to Christmas. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. The song "We Found Love" by Rihanna ft Calvin Harris is at the top of the music charts in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Immortals is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Two and a Half Men", "The Office", "Prison Break", and "The Vampire Diaries".

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. People are using pre-made comics called "Rage Comics" to share funny and relatable experiences. It's 2011, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Adele, Maroon 5, LMFAO, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Bruno Mars.

There is a strange new fad called "planking", which involves a person lying face down in an unusual location. Meanwhile, in the Middle East, protests in Syria have snowballed, and a civil war has started. Armed militias are now beginning to spring up across the country.

The slang phrase YOLO (You only live once) is starting to become more common. Soccer fans are in shock following the recent suicide of Gary Speed. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Christopher Hitchens, Whitney Houston, Trayvon Martin, and Edd Gould would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Dead Space 2", "Homefront", "Duke Nukem Forever", and "L.A. Noire". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Dora the Explorer", "One Tree Hill", "Big Time Rush", and "Jake and the Never Land Pirates".
