Boo hoo hoo! So, today's kids are too busy (read: too fucking inattentive and downright lame) to be able to go through an entire (gasp!) game of Monopoly?!?! They just can't handle a two hour stint of doing something? Their little brains will explode if stressed beyond the time limit of a hanna barbera cartoon? And, of course, we dare not threaten their fragile eggshell egos by presenting something as harsh as three turns "in jail". Mustn't agitate their sweet little gossamer nerves. Sheesh! I mean, we're just talking god damned Monopoly here, people, not the Glass Bead Game - get a grip!
(Thanks for the link, Mike!)
