2013 Year In Review

Or is it Year-End Review? Either way, we generally don't like these last minute look-backs. They're mostly good at making people go "ugh, shut up about that already" on the topics that were over-saturated in the media or "that was this year?" about most of the things that happened in the first half of the year.

Well, let's jump right in. Let's start off on a low note and list all of the notable people that died this year. As it turns out, quite a bit of people made this list. Since The New York Post has already done all of the heavy lifting, I'll just link to their article about all of the 2013 deaths.

Okay, that's out of the way, what else happened this year?

Footballer Manti Te'o had a fake girlfriend.
