I thought the preachy-up-the-ass comment on the south park episode was a joke on south park itself, not family guy. At any rate, that episode of south park was one of the best, and definitely hit the nail on the head. Family Guy was once hilarious, but the punchline of "look how hard we're not trying" just no longer strikes me as funny.

Jack Black's Raconteurs. teeheehee.

I thought the dark knight was the sequel to shawshank? fox?

That said, the hipster handbook was mad deck. I loved it. but what the cock.

kluivertus said it best--a bogus set of articles. About a generational conflict that doesn't exist. A generation doesn't *own* the music or movies that is produced during their coming-of-age, and it is absolutely ridiculous to feel superior or inferior based on what was popular during your adolescence.

How the hell was gen x so damn neglected in a way in which gen y is not? and How are the millenials (who, if anything, got neglected by that shitty fucking name) so damn pampered? Because Morley Safer speaks well of us? Thanks a fucking lot but I still think we're pretty fucked.

These generalizations are so stupid, and will ultimately achieve nothing. Are the millenials optimistic? I fall into that age group and, unless it's different in America, lots of the people i talk to fit all the characteristics bestowed upon Gen X--cynicism, hopelessness, jaded...isn't that pretty much just a teenage thing? Doesn't it depend on the individual?

I'm with Hurrikan--we do what we can with what we get. There is no great generational consensus on anything. You all didn't get together in a lab and make Pearl Jam and I sure as fuck had no hand in the popularization of Soulja Boy. (Surely there is a better representative of today's music than THAT, but still, one cannot blame the death of the radio on a bunch of fucking teenagers with no say in the industry.) Your parents got freaky in the 70s and ours in the 80s (or however it's divided, as the times always seem to be vague). What the fuck is the difference?

Slow news day? An attention whore author mentions Clinton to spotlight his new book...and suggests that the leading female candidate sees political power as fulfillment of her ultimate sexual fantasies and should instead go on a diet. wtf?!
