What makes this not funny (to me) is how they exaggerate in each 2008 scenario. I know that people are way more politically correct nowadays, more people are sensitive and they are heard on matters, etc., but they go over board on things.
Yeah, some people could be tougher on matters, too. Some people are too sensitive. But also, things really are different nowadays, for better and for worse. Similarly, things were different in 1968...for the better and for the worse.
