Intriguing tidbit on how the "24" storyline has the current season in 2012. While I applaud the writers' commitment to not throwing the time-space continuum out of whack (although apparently no one uses the bathroom or eats in the future), it is kind of odd that everyone is using five-year-old mobile phones and there are no new cars on the highways.
Of course, if Jack Bauer and company were cruising along in futuristic cars and shooting laser guns at the bad guys the show would be dubbed "sci-fi" or get lost in the clutter of near-future gadgetry. So, there's no ideal way to handle the issue, but it does at least explain how they're on their sixth president (pre-Palmer I; Palmer I; Died-in-a-plane-crash; evil-weenie-former VP; evil VP's VP; and now Palmer II) in as many seasons.
