By the end of 2009, pranking will become so common in the United States, and frequently so vicious, that a National Pranking Association will form to establish ethical standards for playing pranks. Among these will be: Private property must not be destroyed; pranks that involve public humiliation are discouraged; a prank must stop if the victim of the prank requests it.

A new Olympic event will make its first appearance in the summer of 2012: Freestyle nunchucks. These ancient fighting sticks will now be divorced from their history as a weapon, and participants will be judged on their prowess in spinning one or two nunchucks, and on the complexity and difficultly in their routine. Unfortunately, fans of the sport will be notorious for a large amount of hooliganism, with actual nunchuck battles breaking out between competing fan clubs between matches.
