AKA Nothing Has Changed and Probably Never&nbsp;Will]]></title><type><![CDATA[link]]></type><html><![CDATA[<p>First, congratulations to Jumped The Snark on two decades of cutting edge, premier, trenchant, award-winning* pop culture commentary.  The aughts were good to us, but we&#8217;re really excited about reaching new highs in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmqc_wJN4_M" target="_blank">Roaring Tens</a>.</p>
<p>But before we really hit the new decade you didn&#8217;t think we&#8217;d begin 2010 without a relevant New Years Eve video, did you?  Come on!  You should know us better by now!</p>
<p>Of course, the obvious and really only choice for this was, as <a href="http://jumpedthesnark.com/2009/12/23/christmas-clipdown-lil-pete-rite-aid-have-the-same-goal/" target="_blank">we teased earlier</a>, the last <em>Pete &amp; Pete</em> special before it became a regular series, the epic &#8220;New Year&#8217;s Pete.&#8221;  Little Pete tries to make the better world for all mankind, but realizes that New Years resolutions, and life itself, can be pretty futile.  Dark stuff for a quasi-kids show.  And probably the only show on Nickelodeon ever to show a character smoke cigarettes.  But hey, that&#8217;s real life.</p>

<p>Look for a cameo from a much slimmer <a href="http://www.haveuheard.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Vincent-Pastore-Comic-Con.jpg" target="_blank">Vincent &#8220;Big Pussy&#8221; Pastore</a> and don&#8217;t look for one from <a href="http://pnp.norecess.org/FAQ.html" target="_blank">Hunter S. Thompson</a>.</p>
<p>Diet starts today, right guys????</p>
