'07 Predictions From Twentysomethings Living In The Great White North

Posted by anastasia on 12-29-2006

Another day before New Year's, another set of predictions. This time they're from Virgin Mobile Canada's "It" Team, which is allegedly made up of a bunch of twentysomethings. Here's their list of The Biggest Trends for 2007 (in Canada anyway):

10. Reality TV Gets Real - A new breed of show will emerge, enticing skinny celebrities to gain weight and do something that makes a difference for the world rather than their next photo opportuntiy

9. Divorce Rates Drop Dramatically - For the first time ever in Hollywood, the divorce rate declines due to the focus of celebrity couples on adopting children and trying to have twins

8. Furry Fashionista Fall Out - Canadians finally get the memo that the style died two years ago and they stop wearing those 'fugly' (furry and ugly combined) boots

7. Curvy Comes Back Round - Curvy bodies are officially in! This spawns a bevy of new shape enhancing equipment for those thousands of Canadian women (and men) who want JLo-like curves

6. Celebrity Stunts Surprise - Celebrity stunts get more outlandish and Sir Richard Branson tops them all, gets locked in a jail cell and searches for a way out

5. Libraries Live Again - Millions of young people enter 'strange' buildings called libraries for the first time ever as they search for information after top Internet search tools crash

4. Delicious Diets Dominate - Sales of lemons and maple syrup go through the roof as millions of Canadians subscribe to the "Lemonade Syrup Cleanse," which laves skin more radiant and hair shinier

3. Social Networking Saves World - Thousands of avatars unite in the online realm and raise money and ideas for Global Warming education programs. These avatars united force politicians to put the environment on the top of the agenda in real world election campaigns 'finally'

2. Music Makes Old New Again - Reunion tours will continue to rise as artists who long ago broke up realise that its time to get back together. This releases old favourites on a new generation who then discover that most of their favourite current songs are hits from long ago

1. Serious Switching Starts - Hundreds of Thousands of Canadians celebrate their new found freedom when number portability arrives and finally move their number from one mobile carrier to another
