The World as it Should Be − 4 April, 2008

Sports bras are the new Victoria's Secrets

Pink is the new black

Brussel Sprouts are Evil

The color orange is banned from ever being the color of sweaters, pants, ponchos...

Olive green and Orange do not co-exist in wallpapers, couches and lamp shades

Chocolate, chips, cookies, twinkies, licorice and the rest really are a food group

G-Strings are for men and women can wear...other panties (maybe it would disappear forever)

Low-Rise jeans do not reappear until 2074, when I'm dead

A weight over 140 is considered slim

Perfumes, eau de toilette, after shaves...bought at a drugstore is illegal unless proven harmless by a panel of jurors constituted of people who have taste...and a delicate nose

Colleagues would never make a pass at you or make inappropriate comments on your weight, clothes, hair, cooking habilities, smoking habits...

The last wagon of the subway would REALLY be for singles

Making friends is easy

People who have opinions would be heroes

Stephen King, Mary Higgins Clark, Dan Brown, Gilles Tibo, Danielle Steel, Marie Laberge, Marc Levy and J.K. Rowling would be "displaced" on another planet so the rest of the world can finally enjoy other authors.

Wearing a miniskirt when aged over 40 would make it difficult to be considered as a serious person...wearing a miniskirt with unshaved legs would be suicidal.

Unshaved armpits are a thing of the past...because noone has hair there anymore

Guys with long hair...thing of the past

Guys who wear long leather coats, raincoats that go to their black boots, dress in black with army boots or wear capes or fedoras are considered as baboons. So are guys who think they look good in suits.

Sexual predators, pedophiles, rapists and the likes would be exiled in a confined area of Siberia with no TV, no classes, no games of any kind, no libraries, no emails or phones and no possibility to enter in contact with anyone from outside. They just would disappear.

Cafeteria food would taste good.

Coffee would be free.

Starbucks and Second Cup would not exist.

Italian restaurants would really be Italian.

Ethnic restaurants would not serve brochettes with big potatoes and rice and salad with a quarter of a tomato.

People would NEVER think of eating bread, potatoes and rice or pasta together.

Everyone would know what web 2.0, twitter, flickr and the rest means.

We would always know where the toilets are.
