Iron Maiden-Wrath of Revenge from the Neighbors
Ein Rentnerehepaar im stolzen Alter von 71 und 81 Jahren aus Stockholm hat sich bei seinen Nachbarn für Lärmbelästigung gerächt, indem sie deren Bude den ganzen Winter lang bis vier Uhr morgens mit Iron Maiden beschallten. ‘Cause they’re a wrathchild, coming to get you.
The noisy dispute continued throughout the winter with the pensioners booming music from their terraced house in the Stockholm area until as late as 4am, the newspaper reported.
The police were moved to act and arrived at the house to find that the elderly couple had placed a music system on the balcony, pointed at the neighbour and playing Iron Maiden’s “Afraid to shoot strangers” at top volume. The police furthermore found another music system in the cellar directed towards the neighbour’s bedroom wall.

Granny vs Oculus Rift
Youtube Direktgranny, via Road To VR
Wozu braucht man Reviews des neuen VR-Spielzeugs, wenn man einfach seine Oma fragen kann? „You bet your bottom dollar, you can.“ Von Enkel, YT-Uploader und Redditor Greg1221:
It was great watching her use it. To think she lived through the roaring 20s, the depression, and was 19 when WW2 started, and got to live long enough to use an oculus rift is mind blowing.

Unbedingt bis zum Ende gucken. Das nenne ich perfektes Timing.
Japanese Elderly should „hurry up and die“
Ansage vom japanischen Finanzminister: Die Rentner sollen sich mit dem Sterben doch mal bitte ein bisschen beeilen. Ich wiederhole mich: Als Politiker braucht man echt ein besonderes Talent für Arschlochism.
Japan’s new government is barely a month old, and already one of its most senior members has insulted tens of millions of voters by suggesting that the elderly are an unnecessary drain on the country’s finances.
Taro Aso, the finance minister, said on Monday that the elderly should be allowed to “hurry up and die” to relieve pressure on the state to pay for their medical care.
Let elderly people ‘hurry up and die’, says Japanese minister

Siebzigjähriges Ehepaar rockt Dance Dance Revolution
Die Liebe eines japanischen Ehepaars zu “Dance Dance Revolution“. Ich wurde bei meinem ersten Besuch einer japanischen Arcadehalle in dem Spiel von einer Zwölfjährigen übelst fertiggemacht. Mein Selbstbewusstsein leidet noch heute darunter. Zum Glück bin ich damals nicht auf dieses Ehepaar gestoßen.

Malte mag traurige Lieder und glaubt sein Lieblingsessen sei Okonomiyaki.
Senior Punks-Photoshop Contest
Schöner Photoshop-Contest auf Worth1000: Rentner-Punks. Die Ergebnisse sind wie immer durchwachsen (wie in jedem Contest – this is the nature of a contest), aber die ersten paar Einträge rocken wie Freddy Quinn.
The elderly are usually the first to stare in disbelieving amazement at today’s youth, what with all their colorful hair styles and tattoos and body jewelry. Occasionally you’ll come across a cool old lady whose purple handbag matches her bright purple hair. And that’s just awesome. What if more senior citizens started letting go of their crotchety old-person ways? What if they all decided one day to stand up on their arthritic, wobbly legs and shake their canes angrily at the world and exclaim in one unified, scraggly old-geezer voice, “We’re not going to conform to your ideas of what old people should be! We’re tired of hobbling around on walkers and canes! We’re tired of our boring white hair! Our music sucks! WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!”
And lo, it begins. Soon they’re dyeing their hair (those that still have some) all sorts of wild colors. They’re piercing their bodies all over the place. Tattoo parlors have geezers taking over their chairs, demanding the most outrageous body art you can imagine. Oh. My. Goodness. They’re even blasting Green Day from the stereos in their Cadillacs. Welcome to the senior rebellion.
Senior Rebellion – These old folks won’t make you get off their lawn.
