Party like it’s 1999
Happy Birthday Beth! She has reached a new age bracket and sadly, the American advertisers are no longer clammoring for her money - she has moved to the Adult bracket - a real job, 401k’s, health insurance, a savings account. Poor Beth, no longer a kid. But don’t worry, everyone will still [...]
