Suck it, baby boomers.

From today's Comicle:
"The advertisements of Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday were notable for nonstop cameos, most catering to a Generation X entering middle age."
I loved the commercial with Matthew Broderick; Ferris Bueller came out my junior year of high school, so it's right in my sweet spot.

Boomers: get offa my lawn!

So, I was born in 1959, but by pretty young parents that were youngest children born during WWII. I think I am a very late BB or an early Gen X. I call people my age 'the watchers'.

At any rate, I also liked Broderick's commercial, but the one that brought down the house was the Kia commercial because it was so over the top:

The one that spoke to me most was the Met Life commercial with all the classic cartoon characters. It had a range - but seemed to be targeted to us late 40's -50 somethings.

Entering middle age? By what measure? All us Gen X folks are in our 30s and 40s. Shoot, even the top end of the Millenials has crested 30.
