Getting old:<\/b> Well, it\u2019s official: Nelly Furtado\u2019s Whoa, Nelly!<\/i> is now 25 years old. The debut album from Victoria-born artist-turned super-duper-sensation pop star has hit its quarter-life crisis and still remains a staple on the radio, personal playlists, and commercials. In our November 14, 2000 issue, we covered this album as well as other then-recently released CDs and movies that were foretold to be great successes. Included on this list is coming-of-age comedy film Almost Famous<\/i>, which coined an entire genre of coat. Kate Hudson\u2019s performance stole the show for Nexus<\/i> writer Jon Valentine, who, along with the Academy, believed she was Best Supporting Actress material. Our very own Zoltar strikes again.<\/p>\n

Kamosun Kriminals:<\/b> Camosun College, our column Krime Kount<\/i> indicates, had been in a state of complete lawlessness for some time, with petty theft taking over the classrooms, the bathrooms, the vending machines, and the parking lot. Predictably, November\u2014covered in this issue\u2014was no exception. While Halloween 2000 proved fairly uneventful, that cannot be said, unfortunately, for those driving to school who had been tricked with fraudulent parking tickets later that week. Neither can it be said for those looking for a tampon only to find the bathroom dispensers tampered with and robbed of its loose change. As rent was only like $30 back then, I can only speculate that this was just another case of Winona.<\/p>\n

World wide web wonders:<\/b> This just in: the internet is a very scary place. While that is now terribly apparent, in the year 2000 users were just learning the ropes. In this issue, we updated readers on the new updates on internet regulation that had cracked down on pesky junk mail, what to expect of government interference, and if anyone will be held accountable for its depraved employment. To speak directly back in time to our 2000s readers: I\u2019ve got to be honest, it\u2019s all bad news. But as we pointed out, you can always escape into a different persona on the internet\u2014finding new ways to exist in the changing world and catfishing the innocent, vulnerable elderly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
