It is pretty true after all.

I wonder if boomers watch The Road and realize it's their fault for the downfall of the environment, American economy, geopolitical relations, and democratic system.

Yep, upon closer inspection you truly are a moron.

The Boomers and older X'ers made the Millennials what they are! The early Millennials born in the 80's are okay for the most part, but the 90's and early 2000's ones? OMG! They've been reduced to being a bunch of lifeless, politically correct zombies dependent on electronic devices! Parents sheltered the hell out of them!

yes. Chris rock, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry the Cable Guy refuse to go on college campuses anymore. It is too politically correct you cant joke about anything.

Or maybe because they suck and have to rely on cheap humor to get some laughs.

 Right, because The Road is based off true events. There's no fiction at all in that story. Keep on drinking the Kool-Aid, buddy.

Idiocracy is fiction too.

I'm Gen X and just wondering what Millenials have done to make you think this is about them?

[–] sonofbeach-sheet 9 years ago

Because look at them! Most of them, whether from a blue or white collar background have the reading level, spelling ability, and vocabulary of a 5th grader! In the past those that quit high school and the poorly educated that worked blue-collar jobs were usually of that classification.

And it's not all their fault. Electronics, sheltering parents that believe every precious little one should get a trophy for just showing up, and dumbing down the curriculum in the 90's is what caused much of this.

I call BS on this. Millennials are actually smarter than previous generations. Aside from that, pretty much every generation has had this factless, condescending attitude towards the younger generations.

They don't. Because the film is making fun of republicans and conservatives.
