Hi guys! It’s September 2nd, 2010, aka 9/02/10, aka 90210 day. Here in the Roflrazzi offices, we’re wearing high jeans, cropped blazers, and glasses to demonstrate that we’re the “nerdy” ones. Later, we’re going to sleep with teachers and graduate. How are you celebrating?

By being first.
No, today is 02/09/2010 on this side of he Atlantic – nice try though…
… and somewhere, someone cared.
I cared. I’m on their side of the Atlantic too. Our 9/02/10 was in Feb.
Yep, it doesn’t even make sense to have it this way around.
I think it makes more sense to have day/month/year (in incremental order) than it does month/day/year.
Since the show takes place in the states it should go by our month/day order, though.
Celebrating my daddy’s birthday today.
I was having the best 90210 ever until I saw that picture of poor dead Scott. Remember when he died? Poor dead Scott.
aah so thats who that is. Was trying to figure it out, that was geek boys butt buddy that died.
Huh. Maybe the people living there are having a party.
In civilized nations, it’s 2/9/10 – you know, small/medium/large. Other logical ways of representing the date are 20100902 and 02092010 depending on how you need your dates sorted.
Only in the technologically-challenged nation of the USA do we sort dates medium/small/large. Oh, and use measurement systems that defy logic, such as inches/feet/yards (or should that be feet/inches/yards ?) and ounces/pints/quarts.
And people wonder why US-made goods are hard to sell outside American borders. DUH!
Actually inches, feet and yards are still in common use in the UK as well (all though we officially use centimetres and metres).
Well…
They ARE called “English Units”.
I’d like to differ about the ‘technologically-challenged nation’ the US is. We’re so advanced that we don’t needs to do the learnings, we has computors to dos it for us…
And because we use computErs so much, we forget how to spell..
He was doing it deliberately, fool.
When I say the date, I say “September second two thousand ten.” I don’t say “second September two thousand ten.” We write the date like we say it.
We’re not as lazy here in the civilised nations. We say “The 2nd of September, two thousand and ten”.
That’s just inefficient. Too many extraneous words.
See. Lazy.
Not lazy. EFFICIENT.
Lazy.
I agr… zzzzzzzzzz…
In Hungary, it’s always been year-month-day. Is there any other way that makes sense? Similarly, addresses are in “town, street, number” order, and names are used in “family name, given name” order.
As far as computers are concerned, YYYYMMDDHHMMSS is the only system that makes sense.
As for addresses and names, that’s just a matter of convention, and you split them into the nominated fields and everyone, even the computers, can cope, until you get addresses that are missing a “required field”, like lots of Scottish crofts would have an address comprised of “number, township, post (zip) code” fields only. They don’t have street names.
You’re stupid.
Technologically challenged? The US is the most technologically advanced country on the planet.
Go ahead and google “Technology Index by country”. You ignorant buffoon.
from 2004-2005
“And people wonder why US-made goods are hard to sell outside American borders. DUH!”
Again, you have no clue what you’re talking about. The US has not lost any edge in high-end goods. Software, computer technology, aeronautics technology, industrial equipment… the US still retains a huge edge in these areas.
The US has stopped making low-end manufactured goods because they’d be expensive in other countries. Why? Because we don’t have cheap labor.
The fact that you actually think this ridiculous difference in “sorting dates” is holding the US back just shows you’re an ignorant buffoon. Neither M/D/Y or D/M/Y are used in the scientific community. And the AMERICAN way, M/D/Y is the standard for the internet… you know, that thing the US invented that the US still dominates. You realize you’re on an American website right? Those “civilized” nations you talk about aren’t producing software and websites like the US is.
*yawn*
after all that all you confirmed is that to win an arguemnt you Americans rely on “bigger = better”
I’m suprised you didn’t throw a mention on “how you (apparently) saved our asses in WW2″… On that subject, you cant claim it a victory if you only saw less than a 1/5 of the time.
More like better = better. The US leads not only in absolute terms but in relative terms. There is not a single country that contributes as much to science and technology per capita as the US. If this weren’t the case there would be major European equivalents of Apple, Microsoft, Google, IBM etc… but there are NONE. Europe, who has more people than the US and more GDP cannot even approach the technological level of the US.
And we DID save you in WWII. AND LOL at ?less than 1/5 of the time”.
First off, the allies were losing before the US entered, the reason the war ended the time it did was because the US joined. Saying we joined late when the war had no end in site at the time we joined and your country was getting demolished left and right is an example of the retarded lengths of denial you go to in order to rob the US of credit. Secondly, the US joined in 1941, the war started in 1939 and ended in 1945. The US fought fore more than 1/5th.
The US also single-handely defeated the Japanese. Fought in every single theater of war (no other country did). The US regularly succeeded where you limeys failed repeatedly (Dunkirk, Dieppe). The US fought two simultaneous regional wars, and did more than you did in your own backyard.
The US saved you in WWII. Undeniable fact. The US was the single biggest contributor to allied victory, even before joining with troops.
ok, I spent 40 mins typing a reply… and it doesnt show up ¬_¬
the basic outline of it was, i’m not saying the American forces didnt do ANYTHING, i’m saying you didnt SAVE us. to “save” us we would have to be nigh on defeat… which we wasn’t… we destroyed the Lufftwaffe with a fraction of the Nazi airforce!
What I am saying is, you did indeed help us, and it proved most valuable to everyone, but like you said “he reason the war ended the time it did was because the US joined”. We WOULD have won eventually, the cracks were showing in 1939 when you guys showed up, you just sped up the war, saving thousands of lives.
Your help WAS valuable and it saved many lives in the long run, but you did not SAVE us…
You’re spewing the revision of history you Brits have created in order to salvage your pride. Most of what you believe is inaccurate.
You were losing the war. The allies were losing across the board before the US joined. The Battle of Britain was not as important as you think it was, it was a single defensive operation you won. You had already been kicked out of mainland Europe, getting utterly smashed by the Germans at Dunkirk and you retreated. You Brits don’t call Dunkirk a defeat or a retreat, you call it a ‘rescue operation’ which shows how delusional you are. So you got kicked out of Europe and then barely repelled a German air assault, the only things preventing you from falling were American supplies and the English Channel.
The Germans would have eventually got you if the US didn’t provide supplies or join the war. After the Battle of Britain you tried to liberate Europe by yourself, it was called the Dieppe Raid and it was an utter failure.
The fact you actually believe the war would have been won without the US is hilarious. The Japanese and the Germans were both looking invincible when the US came to rescue you.
Facts:
- The US supplied the majority of allied war material, even before joining with troops. Every single Soviet T-34 tank built after 1941 was built with American steel, for example.
- The US regularly succeeded where you failed. The US was what caused the defeat of the Germans in Africa, Italy, and it was the US that achieved the liberation of western Europe… something you failed to do without the US. In fact every single mission after D-day that was lead by Brits was a failure, like Operation Market Garden.
- The US fought the Japanese almost single-handedly while simultaneously doing more than you did in your own backyard.
- The US fought two major regional wars on opposite sides of the planet at the same time, no other country did this.
WWII would have been an Axis victory if the US didn’t participate. There is not a single credible expert on the planet that claims otherwise.
ok, it’s nearly 4a.m, i’m f**king knackered and I can barley see the screen my eyes are all blurry from lack of sleep. Clearly you are more learned in this than me, I can only go off what I was taught and what I’ve read. I’m sure another British person could argue our side better than me, but hey, that guy isnt a sleep deprived dude with an obvious lack of knowledge in this particular area of warfare history such as myself.
One question though. Vietnam… it was in a forest and one of your main weapons was Napalm and flamethrowers (Portable and mounted on vehicles) HOW DO YOU LOSE A WAR WHEN IT’S FIRE VS A FOREST?!
Vietnam… the US fought a Soviet-trained, Soviet-supplied military that during the time of war was the biggest in the world. The US fought a 5 million man army in a jungle, where the Vietnamese had every advantage. The US inflicted a 20 to 1 kill ratio, and actually forced the North Vietnamese to do something they had never done in history… sign a peace treaty.
The US left and 2 whole years later the Communists invaded South Vietnam. And you retarded, opportunistic, delusional Brits decided to claim it was some instance of the US getting its ass kicked in a war, even though militarily the US performed better in Vietnam than any country could have.
Your country wouldn’t have lasted 3 days in Vietnam. Literally your country would not have won a single battle in that war.
Pretty funny that you’re making snide remarks about a proxy war during the Cold War, where the US almost single-handedly fought the biggest military in the world at the time, that was supplied with the latest Soviet weapons, and the US still managed to kill 20 enemies for every 1 American that was killed.
Speaking as a yank, Kent, you are writing like you are an arrogant jerk. Yes, the US was pivotal in turning the tide in WWII, with our added materials and men for the fight. Does that mean that the Allies would have won without us? I wouldn’t be so sure of that. An occupied people do not tend to rest lightly under the yolk. I know several of my uncles were involved in the Danish resistance, and I would not put myself against their wit and determination.
We (the US) lost Vietnam because we didn’t know how to fight without p**ing off the populace who lived there. When you slaughter folks to ‘save them’, their relatives who survive are not going to want to help you by warning you about the upcoming ambush. Not to mention the tunnels where folks were hiding. I’m not putting my derriere in potential risk from side A to help side B, when side B killed my granny, my infant daughter, and burned my crops. –and where did I get this interpretation from? General Petereus’s most recent interview, played on the radio.
I think he’s writing like an arrogant jerk because he is an arrogant jerk.
Speaking as a piece of Eurotrash, you’re writing like a hypocritical idiot who is more arrogant than Americans, yet calls Americans arrogant for simply mentioning facts. And you’re masquerading as an American to lend credibility to your stupid arguments.
There is literally not a single historian of credibility that would disagree with what I said. The allies were losing before the US joined. The allies only began to win when the US had deployed troops. At the time the US arrived, the Germans and Japanese, and to a lesser extent the Italians had not lost a single bit of ground in their conquests. There was no turning of the tide. Asia was under Japanese control, and Europe was under German control. The Soviets were getting clobbered, the Brits were getting clobbered, having already lost mainland Europe and having failed to get back into Europe.
Vietnam. Again, there is not a single expert that considers Vietnam to be a military failure. The US military performed well, better than any other country possibly could have, despite the fact that UNLIKE what you say, the US used enormous restraint. The US didn’t even authorize bombing runs on North Vietnam until the 5th year of the war. Despite this, the US killed 20 enemy for every 1 American killed.
The war ended in a peace treaty that was brokered by the UN. North Vietnam capitulated, stating that it abandoned its goals to take over South Vietnam. The US end of the treaty was that the US was to remove troops. The US left, victorious. 2 years later after rebuilding their military, the North Vietnamese invaded and took Saigon when there was not a single US combat troop in the country.
Vietnam was a political defeat, not a military defeat. The US performed better than any country possibly could have. The US was fighting a Soviet-supplied, 5 million man army that was supported by another million or so guerrillas. Any other western power wouldn’t have lasted a week in that country.
You’re still an idiot.
Perhaps YOU have been fed pride salvaging history. Derp.
My pride is based on facts.
Every single thing I just said is 100% historically accurate. That’s what’s awesome about being American, we don’t need to delude ourselves to have pride in our accomplishments.
Kent, really?
If you honestly didn’t have to delude yourselves, you wouldn’t have wrote such long comments.
The only reason you needed to join was because we needed you for your money.
Ooh, and can I also point out the fact that the size of us compared to the US is like one of your states? We did pretty damn well for the amount of money and soldiers we had. You had brute force behind you, we had courage.
Just our money?
Is that why even after the US was supplying you for a year Winston Churchill crossed the f**king Atlantic to BEG the US to send troops to Europe?
Seriously, you Brits are delusional. The allies were LOSING before the US entered with troops, even after the US was providing literally the majority of war material for all of the allies. The US defeated the Japanese almost-single handedly, after Brits got RAPED by the Japanese like at Singapore.
The US kicked the Germans out of Africa. The US comprised the bulk of troops in Italy. And the liberation of western Europe post D-day was almost entirely by the US. Brits had already failed to do this before. You Brits conveniently leave out the fact that you FAILED repeatedly where the US later succeeded. You were feckless against the Germans without the US.
The US saved you, and Europe. Get a grip on reality.

WWII history shows repeatedly that without the US the allies were hopeless and the Axis would have won.
The US saved you, and Europe. Get a grip on reality.
Wow, you really need to chill out.
Like I said, you had the brute force. You had a larger number of troops than we did.
We are the same size of one of your states, now times that by 50 and it’s no wonder you were able to succeed where we failed, we at least stood up to them and held them off until we could find help from somewhere
And look, we asked for help. We’d probably give this to you if we hadn’t have to.
The US is selfish and doesn’t care about Europe unless they are begged for help
You are just glib.
The US population is 308 million. UK population is 60 million. You’re bigger than any US state in population. But you ignore several things. First off, the British Empire in WWII was way larger, richer, and more populous than the US. The US only had about twice as many troops in WWII as the UK (not counting British colonial conscripts), while having about 3 times the general population (the US population was way lower back then). The US did way more than twice what you did in WWII.
Even factoring out the simple undeniable fact that US war aid was essential to all the allies. Looking at tactical and strategic military achievements the US far outperformed Brits in WWII. Not only did the US do more than you did in your own backyard against the Germans and Italians, the US was fighting basically an entire separate war on the other side of the globe with almost no help from any other allies.
Kent–you might have forgotten. The UK had just started to recover from WWI when WWII started. And so they were still suffering from a shortage of able-bodied men of officer age. And since WWI took place in Europe, the economy of Europe was still severely damaged from that war.
Kent – don’t post when you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
What? It’s not the 9th of February..
In other news, Malfoy was a ferret today.
I… I’m not sure whether to be greatly amused or cringe at just how corny this is…
Either way, it’s epic… somehow.
I have to say that even better than it being 9/02/10 is the number of jealous Europeans getting butthurt about the date lol.
Jealous? Dude, we celebrated this day before you. You guys are 7 months behind the rest of us
hahahahahahahaha, funny.
Haha england beat you
Considering this is an American TV show that takes place in America and has an American zipcode in the title…. this should be infinitely more relevant to Americans, using the American date format… and yes, we KNOW that it’s 2/09/2010 everywhere else in the world… but why do you care so much?
Because we already celebrated the day! That’s why.
Yeah, cause the rest of the world has better taste anyhow.
I’m still wondering who the heck that fifth guy is.
(Poor dead Scott, I suppose…)
F**k that… today is Keanu Reeve’s birthday
Much more important
if you’re going to say 02 then it’s 09/02/10 or it’s 9/2/10, you can’t have it both ways and anyone who can’t spell color really shouldn’t make fun of the people who saved their ass from the Nazis.
It’s colour, it has a u in it. I point to That Guy’s argument, lazy.
do you pronounce it CUL OUR? NO! therefore putting a U in it makes you look like the failed nation d’bags that people who put extra letters in words are.
So taking letters out of words makes us awesome? Yeah, I’d rather be a failed nation d’bag that can actually spell, doesn’t put ZED’s in everything and actually calls people arses, and not asses. When we insult, we don’t like calling people donkey’s, it just doesn’t get the point across
Based on your logic, why isn’t is spelt “culor”?
btw –
1) Do you pronounce is “K – NIG – IT”? Then why is it spelt “knight”?
2) Why can you pronounce “live” both to rhyme with “sieve”, or to rhyme with “hive” and “jive” without changing the spelling?
3) How come you pronounce “good” to rhyme with “hood” but “food” to rhyme with “nude”?
There are lots of examples of spelling that have no influence on the pronounciation.
(p.s. I agree with you on the 09/02 vs 9/02 thing though).
its my birthday today!
Awesome.
Just another day to me, regardless of the date format. Who ever watched that show, anyway?
Eh. Today is 03/09/2010. Never watched that trash anyway.
The rest of the civilized world celebrated this seven months ago…
What a load of crap. Only the internet could come up with something this stupid.
Don’t let us keep you, and don’t let the door hit you on your brain on the way out.
americans just like to be different. the rest of the world has one standard for cars, the only difference being the side the steering wheel on. cars must however be modified to run in the states. having red indicators on the rear of a car is just asking for trouble. and seeing as the language is english, surely the way england spells is the right way? my point? americans just like to be difficult
they are trying to be their own country, when they cannot change the fact that without us in Europe, America would still be a Buffalo dominated wasteland and wandering Tribes.
All in all, no matter how “great” America thinks it is, if it wasnt for us, they wouldnt even exist.
ColoUr, HonoUr and NeighboUr… these words have U’s in them goddamnit!
Without you in Europe? Seriously your ignorance is astounding. The US does not owe modern Europe a thing for our existence. People LEFT Europe to come to the US. The people that constitute most of the US are immigrants, not extensions of Europe. People created the US, not countries.
You invoke cosmic levels of irony because the exact opposite of what you say is true. If you had your way there would be no US, we had to fight you and defeat you to create our country. And the country we created later rescued you from destruction twice, and now we’re the center of your universe.
Enjoy bashing Americans while living in a country that is only free because of us, and while using technology that was all provided to you by Americans.
Typical Eurotrash ignorance, hypocrisy, and ingratitude.
Typical Yank arrogance and big-headedness
Ok, Mr America, lets turn back the clock shall we? What would happen if none of us in Europe went on the voyage to discover the new lands?
I… I think… yes… yep… You’d STILL still be a Buffalo dominated wasteland and wandering Tribes.
You had to fight us because our King at that time was a f**k-nut insane bastard. And even though many Englishmen died, I actually agree with the war because our King at the time was a prick.
You can’t create your own country, WE made you, some of US stayed, and became YOU. Americans didnt spawn from the ground and start fighting the British troops did they?
You never SAVED us from destruction, you HELPED… ONCE, in WWI where the f**k where you anyway?! oh wait, you turned up late for that one as well…
Actually, most of modern day technology is Japanese sooooo… yeah.
Typical limey hypocrisy, ingratitude, and arrogance and big-headnedness.
“None of us in Europe”
Um, you? You mean individuals who left Europe on their own accord? The US doesn’t owe modern Europe a single thing for the fact that a bunch of lucky people had the means to escape Europe and create their own country.
Americans created their own country. You Brits are desperate to rewrite history to salvage your pride. Saying that you created the US when our very existence is due to the fact we defeated you in a war is hilarious. Had you had your way, the US wouldn’t exist… yet you’re trying to take credit for our existence.
We saved you from destruction, twice. Again, since you Brits try to rewrite history you’ve developed this hilariously delusional and rosy picture of your performance in WWII. Never minding the fact you were losing, left and right. You were utterly dependent on US war aid and before the US joined the war the Germans were almost unstoppable and controlled most of Europe and were spanking you in almost every single ground battle.
You think Japan is more technologically advanced than the US? Go ahead and google “Technology Index by Country”. The US is the most technologically advanced country. And every single technology you’re using right now to parade your ingratitude originated in the US.
Next time scroll down to the bottom of the page and you’ll find the year that your source is refering to, and stop repeating yourself throughout this whole post; you seem desperate for approval. What do you think the reason is that someone here is yet to acknowledge your “facts”?
You’re an idiot.
Every single thing I said is factual. It’s just that this site is frequented by moronic, brainwashed twits like you who are uneducated and misled about history for the purpose of robbing the US of credit and denying the fact that the US came to the rescue in WWII.
I once broke up with a girl because she’s rather watch 90210 than talk to me. Best decision I ever made.
And, yeah, Americans suck.
better than girls I’ve know from any other countries anyway.
Dude. Not all americans suck, just like not all brits are condescending jerks.
They’re not, right?
Riiiiight?
That Kent guy is just an overpatriotic tard… Worships a friggin piece of multi-colored cloth and thinks he’s the bee’s knees.
We had our 90210 day back on the 9th of February, not that I took part…
What does it mean? Is life a comedy?
Ignore the Conservatroll; he learnt all his “history” from watching John Wayne films.
