Titanic cartoon pokes fun at millennials, prompts furious (and very funny) debate
It began when @grilcode on Twitter posted this cartoon at the expense of millennials or “young people today” as we prefer to call them.

But its 4,000 retweets were only a fraction of the 55,000 people who shared this slapdown in defence of mobile-loving teens everywhere.
