I normally find humor attempts at people attempting a genre they clearly don't fit in to be unfunny and even at times offensive. EXCEPT, when it's a Senior Citizen, I get a laugh.
2 Examples...
From Todd Rhodes over at Monday Morning Insight...
Meet Eloise:
If you haven't seen this geriatric version of a Famous song by the Who... watch now!
In working with a generation that lives at a significant amount of tension with the eldest generation, I find these videos to be more than funny. I find them inspiring. I find it a little ironic, as you would talk to the younger generation and the eldest generation, and you'll hear very similar statements...
"I just wish things would be done in a way that I'm comfortable with."
"I'm concerned about where the world is heading."
"I don't feel like my voice has any merit."
Finally, one of the key people behind the "My Generation" video above. Here is the first of 90 videos posted by Geriatric1927, an 80 year old from England who was amazed by Youtube, and decided to have a crack at it. What has ensued is the introduction of a sort of "Cyber Grandpa" (his wikipedia site here).
