Millennials outraged over TV show portraying millennials as outraged
independent.co.uk/arts-enterta…as-outraged-a7184771.html
A millennial member of a focus group has angrily objected to the contents of a television programme because it portrayed millennials as coddled, easily offended and thin-skinned.
The feedback for CBS’ new comedy series The Great Indoors was recounted by its executive producer Mike Gibbons at a TelevisionCritics Association panel this week and, in further vindication, outraged a millennial member of the press.
“I’m a millennial myself. How are we so coddled, and what about our overly politically correct workplace bothers you?” they asked somewhat stroppily at the panel.
Stephen Fry, who stars in the show as a travel editor who becomes the boss of a group of millennials in the digital department of a magazine, jumped in to say that he believes there is “an element of coddling” in the generation and “an element in which you have it tougher than the generation before.”
“Yeah, no shit” the millennial reporter, not named by Deadline, fired back, before saying she wanted the question answered by Gibbons, not Fry (who noted a previous generation in his family was sent to Auschwitz).
“A great example is how you interrupted my answer,” Gibbons replied.
Another incensed millennial reporter later rhetorically asked: “Do you want millennials to watch your show? Cause you come out here and said ‘Ha, ha, ha, millennials are so sensitive and PC,’”, branding his comments “so negative”.
The Great Indoors co-star Joel McHale interjected that if the show is offending millennials, it is “the best strategy ever”.
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them. -

My son got grabbed by alcohol years back, he is good now. Put himself in a program..... The hole 9 yards. His mother brings me a 9mm about that size. After he gets out I ask him...."why do we have this weapon, son?" "Oh yea, me and some of my friends we target shoot in back of Leo's house"
Yea, that's the story you're going with?Cheesecake> RamenThe post was edited 1 time, last by CoachLou ().

With four children aged 1 to 7 we quickly determined we were better off going on our own than official tours. The tour bus driver called us the Griswalds. Not for sure we were that much like them, other than an American family trying to make the most of being in Europe.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

This is not my story, but I wish it was:
15/17. I took Spanish in high school. My junior year class was probably my favorite class of all time despite the fact that I learned very little. Everyone in the class were friends and we all loved our teacher (and screwed around with him a lot).
One day, while bored, I sent a note around the classroom that read "There are footprints on the ceiling." Probably about half the class looked up when they read it. Me and my buddy were giggling harder and harder with each person we fooled. The note was almost at the last person when my teacher noticed. He took it out of the person's hands and read it silently.
And then he looked up.
My friend and I couldn't control ourselves any longer. We absolutely lost our sh*t. The rest of the class laughed as well so we didn't get called out, but both of us had tears rolling down our faces. That was one of my favorite things to ever happen to me.
