RUSH: A couple of little lighthearted things here. You know, Hasbro makes the board game Monopoly, and they\u2019ve come out with a new version called Monopoly for Millennials. It\u2019s really fun, and Millennials are fit to be tied about it apparently on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\"\"They\u2019ve geared this game to come out just in time for Christmas. “Monopoly for Millennials, Hasbro\u2019s newest addition to the Monopoly board game empire, is receiving widespread backlash from offended Millennials shortly after the game was released for the holidays. The game cover, accompanied with the tagline ‘Adulting is hard. You deserve a break from the rat race,\u2019 features a ‘cool\u2019 Mr. Monopoly.” You know, the rich guy with the top hat and tails, big, round face, Mr. Monopoly.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s taking a selfie, wearing a ‘participation award\u2019 pinned to his chest, and drinking a latte. A camera, a pair of sunglasses, and a hashtag are included among the game pieces.” So is a bicycle. (laughing) Yoga positions and so forth. There are no properties for players to buy in Monopoly for Millennials. There is no Park Place. That\u2019s been replaced with a three-day music festival. Other experiences include a vegan bistro you can buy, a bike share, and a yoga studio.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s also no rent to pay and no real estate to buy because, as it says on the front of the box, ‘Forget real estate. You can\u2019t afford to buy it anyway.'” This is Monopoly for Millennials. The game, on the board box, recommends that you play it in your parents\u2019 basement. Can you believe they did this? This is a major American corporation. I mean, they\u2019re really shading some of these Millennials. They\u2019re throwing it right back at them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m wondering how this happened. You know, this is the kind of thing that you do not see, actually taking aim at a specific whole generation. I mean, Millennials are apparently righteously indignant and profoundly irritated about this on Twitter. You know what the price of the game is? $19.82 because that\u2019s said to be the first year of the Millennial generation, 1982, when they were born.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the game\u2019s description. “Money doesn\u2019t always buy a great time, but experiences, whether they\u2019re good — or weird — last forever. The Monopoly for Millennials game celebrates just that. Instead of collecting as much cash as possible, players are challenged to rack up the most Experiences to win. Travel around the gameboard discovering and visiting cool places to eat, shop, and relax. Interact with other players via Chance and Community Chest cards, (which are super relatable). And players don\u2019t pay rent — they visit one another, earning more Experience points. This board game is a great way to bring a fun and relaxed vibe to a party or casual get-together.”<\/p>\n

\"\"It says here, “The game\u2019s theme didn\u2019t go over too well with a lot of people. After news of the game started creeping across social media, Hasbro took some serious heat from the very generation it was probably hoping would find the game amusing. Reactions from angry Millennials, as well as those who just thought the game was just in bad taste, flooded Twitter and other social media platforms, calling out Hasbro for the ‘offensive\u2019 and ‘condescending\u2019 board game.”<\/p>\n

But despite all this, the game is sold out. You can\u2019t find a copy of the game anywhere. To be played in your parents\u2019 basement. There aren\u2019t any cars. The board pieces are like bicycles and bike racks and no property to buy and no rent because nobody\u2019s got any money.<\/p>\n

And this is not all. There is a new toy for kids called Build the Wall and it\u2019s from an outfit called KeepAndBear.com. “We are pleased to announce the launch of a brand new line of toys: MAGA building blocks! This set comes with more than 100 pieces including President Trump in a MAGA hard hat!”<\/p>\n

You know the game is? Build the Wall. Your kids can buy a game, and they can actually build the wall. “The $29.95 Lego knock-offs — emblazoned with 45\u2019s ‘Build the Wall\u2019 mantra — are available for pre-order now from the home of ‘the best selection of Trump gifts anywhere!\u2019 Shipping starts Nov. 23.”<\/p>\n
