Smells Like Boomer Irony

In my day:

Workplace experts say Generation Y will need direction as the thundering herd enters the workplace.
...
The [Chicago Sun-Times] said it's a generation that Steven Mintz, author of Huck's Raft: A History of American Childhood, says has been "coddled."

Because lord knows the boomers, who've essentially defined neurotic self-indulgence, were nothing but tough guys, right?

ya know, aside from the spamming jesus heads, this jumped out at me as a Bubblegum Crisis thing, not the baby-boomers. Maybe I've seen too much of the anime.

Soon we shall raise an entire generation that thinks a "baby boomer" is a short, hunchbacked, mostly mechanical cyborg with a withered human brain, produced in assembly-line fashion and destined to go crazy, kill a bunch of people, and then get sliced up by hot anime chicks wearing futurstic body armor and wielding samurai ninja weapons.

Which may not be too far off base, at least if someone could recruit some hot anime chicks, equip them with futuristic body armor, and actually get past the whole "samurai ninja" concept without their heads exploding.

I, for one, welcome our new hot anime chicks in futuristic body armor overlords.

As a person in the pharmaceutical industry, they should know that I can help them procure any medicines they might need to keep up the good fight.
