I am not a boomer and I am not Casey. Can I post 10 things I hate about myself instead?
Casey has not yet been properly defeated. He's still out there collecting ad revenue. The job must be finished!
"Bastard operators don't win...anyone can win...Bastard operators win and totally demoralize...that is REAL winning." - the BOFH
I stayed away from his website because I didn't want to generate any revenue for him from his ads - I don't know how that all works. Any highlights someone could post? Has he offloaded any of his houses etc. How much has he lost now?
I hate the fact that he deliberately commited fraud by submitting mortgage applications all at the same time so that they didn't show up. Please can't one of the mortgage holders go after him?

Casey is just probably someone who wanted to get ahead. He should have been more mindful about potential legal consequences.
He is just one of the many.
I do not hate him.
Looks like it hit the front page of sfgate.com.

10. Boomers love slowly driving RVs and SUVs on long and windy roads. astrid hates driving behind slow RVs on long and windy roads.
9. Boomers give a bad name to good unboomers like newsfreak.
8. Boomers book up too much space in good restaurants and golf courses.
7. Boomers always say "I did XYZ, why can't you?"
6. Boomers on medicare, nuff said.
5. Both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are boomers. (and Hilary Clinton, and Al Sharpton, and Mark Foley...)
4. Boomers think their houses are *worth* 30X what they paid for them.
3. Boomers own too many good vacation properties.
2. Boomers spend too much money and won't leave anything behind to Gen-Xer/Gen-Yers.
1. There are too many boomers.
PS - Peter P, no hating of fellow bloggers or self loathing! If it helps, just type stuff you hate about yourself and then substitute "boomer" or "Casey Serin" for "me" "myself" and "I".
Casey was mentioned in Carol Lloyd's column today and I still have a strange feeling that someone made the whole thing up (not that there are not many others in worse shape not Blogging about it)....

More likely than not.
DinOR,
I just can't resist Serin's blog. It's like watching a car crash, followed a big explosion, followed by a direct astroid strike, followed by a circus clown riding a tiny circus bike, followed by a fat lady singing, followed...
CASEY SERIN HAIKU:
Who's Casey Serin?
Really, I've never heard of
the little devil.
Claire,
Here's wikipedia's entry on Google ads.

I'm guessing that Serin went with payment per thousand views option. He'll need a lot more revenue to bail himself out though.

What if this is just all drama?
Peter P,
If Serin is exposed as a fraud at this point, then I think he deserves lots and lots of kudos. He has the whiney, self-absorbed numbskull Gen-Yer act down pat. If he was just faking, he really should write a reality show about Gen-Yer RE "investor" and sell it to the networks.
"If he was just faking, he really should write a reality show about Gen-Yer RE “investor†and sell it to the networks."
Damn! Did I just come up with an idea that could conceivably bail him out?
OK astrid,
I wouldn't say I hate boomers or any of their particular quirks. But beyond the obvious (60's drug culture, financial irresponsibility, selfishness, McMansions), I do find some of the more frivolous boomer-associated entities funny, sad, pathetic:
1) Paying over $100/pop to watch the Stones totter around on stage
2) Doonesbury - does anyone except boomers actually find that crap funny?
3) Thinking Steve Jobs is cool
4) "Forrest Gump" (actually, that's one thing I do indeed hate)
5) "ThirtySomething" - what a bunch of self-centered whiners!
6) Popularizing the concept of living on a golf course - why?
7) Among all the icons of the Boomer Gen, they never seem to tout Richard Simmons, do they?
8) All those suburban fatsoes riding around in their shiny motorcylces on Skyline every weekend - please, you're DEFINITELY NOT COOL.
9) Related to #8, all those fatsoes on $5000 bicycles riding around Woodside, PV, or PA wearing those ridiculous multi-colored biking shirts with their paunches poking out, thinking they are actually "athletic."
10) Any book whose title starts with "Chicken Soup for..."
Raw anger directed at Big Boomer & Greedy Ass-Clown-of-the-Month (and away from each other)?
Much, much better... :mrgreen:
