Reply #175: Hating the people who did those terrible things makes sense. [View All]

Hating their generation for it makes no sense. It's displaced anger. If someone treats you poorly, blame them, not their family, or their profession, or their race, or their gender, or their generation.

Unloading fully on the parents who behaved badly is justified. Stepping around that righteous anger to deliver blows to total strangers because they share your parents' generation, however, is senseless.

As for the Dennis Hopper commercial, I hate that one myself, but it doesn't make me hate boomers, of whom I am one. It makes me hate (1) Dennis Hopper, for turning into a jackoff who will do anything for a buck, (2) the company that hires him to advertise for them, and (3) the boomers who would be moved to act based upon that commercial.

And the hair color and Viagra commercials for boomers? Hate those, too. I think coloring hair is pathetic for men over 40, unless they're a circus clown. And I don't care to hear testimonials from a bunch of guys who think they're rocking out to a tune that is 45 years old. Viva Shut the Fuck up, Viagra!

Boner meds are the scourage of TV. How many times can they show the same commercial? I will put it in writing to them. If I need you, I can remember your product name!
