People in nursing homes <3 the Nan-Tendo Wii!

Looks like all that talk of "your grandma will buy a Wii" really was true. UK paper The Sun did an article on people as old as 103 enjoying a "Nan-Tendo Wii" at the Sunrise Home in Birmingham.

The article is... pretty pointless, but I posted this because of the utterly wonderful pictures, which are apparently real.

    There are no old people like british old people. Once someone turns over 65 they should grow british accents. It just fits somehow.

    Is the Sun actually a legitimate news site?

    This is good for gaming. Now that those old folks have had a taste of gaming, they'll probably want to upgrade to a HD console :P

    Those images creep me out for some reason.



    edit: I will say this.

    That will be me in 70 years.
