Emotionally Charged Moments of 2008

As the year comes to a close, we would be remiss if we didn't look back and remember some of the most defining moments of 2008. From natural disasters to one of the most unbelievable and exciting presidential elections ever in the history of our country, this year brought with it some unexpected surprises. Here at theMET, we always try to remember that at our core we're here to give you an experience. Whether that's an event posting that gives you some ideas on what to do this weekend, a sexy spread on your favorite model that gets you feeling a little frisky, or a set of pictures that makes you stop and reflect, we hope that, day in and day out, you have an experience here that makes your day just a little bit brighter.
