Cracked.com has what maybe the definitive year-end wrap-up of 2007: Seven Things We Should Pretend Never Happened. It’s all there, from the Pats’ domination of football …

It was around this time that the Patriots started beating the living shit out of every single opponent they faced. Belichick continued smugly dismissing questions about why he was still throwing for the end zone in the fourth quarter of a three touchdown game. An “if he dies, he dies” wouldn’t have felt out of place in most of his press conferences.

… to the hot new fad of tasering people:

This phenomenon combined the Internet’s two favorite things: an opportunity to compare present-day America to Nazi Germany, and video of people getting hurt.

The perfect example of the taser’s two-demographic appeal, the “Don’t Tase Me Bro” guy was a champion of both human rights activists and people who enjoy watching douchey people get hurt. Like a perfect storm of Internet fame, he was himself a liberal conspiracy theorist acting in a manner that even Ghandi would have deemed worthy of a beating. Luckily, the campus police at the event didn’t have to resort to using fists and just repeatedly electrocuted him instead.

It’s not quite as funny as Cracked’s own 2007 masterpiece, 5 Pimpingest Historical Figures, but it’ll do.
