THE PEPSI NARCISSISTIC GENERATION'S DEPRESSION

There is no question that the U.S. is definitely in a significant economic slump right now (as is most of the world economies), but if you spend some time at the malls you probably have observed that people are actually out there still buying things and that life seems to go on, despite the economic downturn.
