I was watching Patton 360 today and I keep on seeing a commercial pop up that basically have some dates pop up and at the end it says "May 25th 2009. A global event, this changes everything."
the weird thing is. I went to their website history.com and looked up the tv schedule for May 25th, and IT'S BLANK. There is like a big gap between 7am and 8pm while the days before and after the 25th are normal. What could it be?

ps. while watching Patton 360 I learned something I didn't know before. I always thought the French just surrendered without fighting in WWII. I didn't know the gov actually agreed to be allies with the Nazis in order to stay in power and actually took part in actively attacking American troops in Morocco landing. Damn that kind of pissed me off, what a bunch of back stabbers.
