July 16: This Day In History

The way we lived thenIn our fast-paced society we are always keeping one eye on the present and the other on the future, so it's important to occasionally step back and look at where we've been. It's particularly appropriate to do so today, which marks a milestone that changed the way we live forever. That's right, on this day back in 2003 Amanda and Dave became "the first couple in the American editions of 'Big Brother' to publicly engage in sex on the program." I vividly remember the President's emergency address to a joint session of Congress immediately after, and the feelings of uncertainty that bound us, however briefly, together as a nation. We've grown a lot since then: wiser, more resilient, and perhaps a bit more wistful, but there's no denying the significance of this very, very historic day. It's hard to believe we were ever that young.

Are there any Big Brother Historical Societies staging a reinactment tonight? I'm interested in watching the live feed.
