That urban outfitters tee

So by now you have surely seen the controversy about the Urban Outfitters T-Shirt that says, VOTING IS FOR OLD PEOPLE.



Urban Outfitters claims it was meant as an ironic gesture....

But we got a lot of phone calls, emails, and buzz about how mad it made young people.

And you know what we think?

This is really emblematic of a cultural shift for today's new generation.

Cynicism about politics---ironic detachment from the big issues in life---that's so GEN X.

And Gen X is so YESTERDAY.

This is the new generation...the 9/11 generation...their take on the world is a bit different.

What do you think?

Please let us know. We're eager to hear from you about this particular question.
