The Elderly: Not Completely Useless

Check out this CNN video about 100-year-olds being given iPods at a Washington rest home. While I don’t dig the patronizing tone of the piece, it sounds like kind of a nifty idea. Mostly I’m posting it for the comedy gold that appears a little more than halfway through it. When asked how she feels about paying $3 for a cup of Starbucks coffee, she spits, “Shit!”

With the exception of every brilliant moment of Rick Sanchez’s career, this is the funniest thing to hit CNN since Bruce Springsteen called Soledad O’Brien an idiot right to her face, while laughing at her:

I wish the world were this hilarious every day.

In case you aren’t as amused by elderly people using obscenities to describe the Starbucks pricing structure, here is a great animated short called “All the Great Operas in 10 Minutes.” It’s seriously funny shit. Don’t let the Canadian accent fool you.
