Transcript

You probably know that age discrimination is illegal... but did you know that the law only protects Americas over age 40? (Man 1: Go ahead- fire me for being young... see if I care!) (Man 2: Forget it- I'd rather just shoot you.) It's bizarre but true- the federal "age discrimination in employment act" itself discriminates against young people! (Man 1: This is an outrage! I'll break your face!) (Man 2: Go ahead! I'll sue you for elder-bashong!) Even weirder is the fact that people are far likelier to get hosed for being too young than for being too old. (Man 1: I'm being drafted but I can't rent a car until I turn 25.) (Man2: Quit whining, loser! And stop cutting your hair!) And get this- if a 50ish boss fires you for being 40ish, the law still won't help you! (Man 1: Hey! No cutting!) (Man 2: Respect your elder, squirt!)
