Guess what? Pajama Boy has grown up. He even has a name:
Michael Rotondo.
Having camped out in his parents’ home for the past ten
years, Rotondo has just been order to move out. His gracious and generous
parents had put up with his sloth for all that time. They asked him nicely to
move out. He refused, so they took him to court. A judge just ordered him to move
out. Pajama Boy was evicted.
He didn’t pay rent. He didn’t contribute to the household.
So, sayonara, Pajama Boy.
Tell me that that does not make you day? Do you see the
symbolism?
In the meantime Rotondo did manage to father a son. He was not
married or otherwise involved with the child’s mother. A fine, upstanding
responsible human male.
The Daily Mail reports that his parents had already stopped
providing food for him. They cut off his cell phone. They refused to let him to
use the laundry facilities in the home.
At one time, he was working at Best Buy. He was fired
because he refused to work on Saturdays. He is suing the company… because, how
else do you make a living when you cannot do anything. As for college, he
dropped out because he found it too hard.
The Daily Mail reports:
DailyMail.com
did discovered that he used to work at a Best Buy, and that he is suing the
company for discrimination, saying he was fired when he said he couldn't work
Saturdays since that is when he had visitation with his child. He is seeking
nearly $340,000 in damages, pay and attorney's fees from the big box
store.
He said
he went to college, but didn't finish his degree. He started off studying
engineering at Onondaga Community College, but switched to business when he
'couldn't hack the math'.
As I said, Pajama Boy has grown up. Now, he is about to be
homeless. Is he the pride of the millennial generation? Or is he just another symptom of what's wrong with America?

I wouldn't say "wrong with America", but certainly wrong with him.
The TV spot that make him famous was priceless. In the wrong way.
I only saw it once. It was yanked before it did serious damage. Most people never saw or heard of it.
Silly. Feckless. Unisex. Funny - bad funny. Wavy haired pale sprite in unitard fleece PJs gripping his mug of herbal tea - in both hands!

"Kids these days' is the perennial complaint, but honestly, today's parents are the biggest enablers of current social dysfunction.
