Ahmadinejad is SO over nuclear weapons

Courtesy of Mark Halperin at The Page:

Ahmadinejad also says repeatedly his country is not developing a bomb, and says “nuclear weapons are so 20th century.”

This quote comes from Brian Williams' interview with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad airing tonight on NBC.

Is this really a translation of what Ahmadinejad said? "So 20th century?" If so, that's hilarious.

Are we channeling the spirit of The Hills girls in our discussions of nuclear armament? Or perhaps Chandler from Friends.... Oh, I'm sorry...is that Friends reference "so 1997"?

As soon as I read this statement, I emailed my husband. I have to print his response email because I thought it was too funny not to share with my reader(s). Here's the conversation:

Me:

"Ahmadinejad also says repeatedly his country is not developing a bomb, and says 'nuclear weapons are so 20th century.'" (from Time magazine's "ThePage" politics page)

Do you really think that translated to "so 20th century"???
If so, that's freakin hilarious.

Tyler:

That is really funny…and he’s right…they are so 20^th century. In fact, I think I saw Michael Ian Black making fun of them on VH1’s "I love the Cold War."

"I Love the Cold War"....I'd totally watch that one, but I hear Ahmadinejad is so over nostalgic VH1 clip-shows.

Here's a link to the actual NBC interview if you want to see the whole thing.
