You have a job, a family, a house, a whole bunch of real responsibilities. You are hoping to have enough time in your busy schedule to go get a colonoscopy. What’s missing? Social networking. And no, that does not include stalking your kids on Facebook. We mean connecting with other people going through a mid-life crisis while having demographic-targeted advertising shoved down your throat. Thanks BOOMj.com!
Next week: Anheuser-Busch attempts to tap (pun intended) into a new market by launching a website that helps seniors organize keggers*. Just because you are collecting social security doesn’t mean you have to act like it.
* kegger: A wild party where beer is served (usually in disposable plastic cups) from a keg. Keggers are usually associated with high school and college students, but anybody can throw one if they’ve got a lot of friends and at least one keg of beer. [urbandictionary.com]
