A five-panel comic. An adult woman complains to two friends that kids today are boring — "All day on the phone. Don't want to drive or party." Her friends reminisce that as teens they listened to music about Satan and got pregnant "while doing lines off my best friend's butt," and that today's teens barely drink and think smoking is gross, so "there's no mystery or adventure." The woman approaches a teen offering wine coolers, malt liquor, and chewing tobacco; the teen politely declines: "No thank you, ma'am." In the final panel she kneels on the ground, arms raised, wailing at three unimpressed teens: "THIS ISN'T A LIFE! IT ISN'T A LIFE!" The votey is a close-up of her tearful, anguished face declaring: "Behavioral addictions aren't COOL like chemical addictions!"
