“Sorry, I got to return this video”
“Mike? I love that guy, I got him on speed dial”
“Do you have any quarters for a phone?”
“Bill Cosby really is America’s dad”
“Can I borrow that VHS?”
“Sorry, I can’t come. My favourite show is on”
“Do you know where a phone is?”
2004 is when the Blockbuster video rental chain was at its peak (cite), and VHS was still in wide use at the time having only been surpassed by DVD rentals a year earlier. Speed dial was also still a thing then, payphones still exist today, and, although complaints were filed against Bill Cosby much earlier the public wasn’t widely aware of them until 2014.
How about “John Kerry is the candidate who can prevent a second Bush term” ?
