The times they are a'changing

[Mensa]

Is it just me or does it seem like there are more adult diaper commercials on television than baby diaper ones?

What does this trend mean, I wonder?

That maybe now is the time to invest in companies that make plastic slibcovers and rubber lined pants?

It means that America is graying, Baby-Boomers are becoming seniors, and none of them are teaching their kids about classical music, opera, saving money, civic responsibility or the wonders of space exploration. In the future every will be famous for fifteen minutes, and then they will be expected to kill themselves before they hit 30 to make room for the new TV season.

Well, let's be fair - some of them will want to go out in a blaze of glory like those famous kids from Columbine so they can get on the cover of Time/Life and be all over The National Enquirer... just so they can combine their 15 minutes of fame with the dying before 30 law.

Nope, publicly available. You see enough people get up off the sofa nad leave a stain and...well

The SCI-Channel was having a "Doomsday Marathon". Look, just be happy I shut it off before "Godzilla Vrs. The Smog Monster".
