Senior citizens sing. And they dance.

Did you know that? More importantly, do they know you know that?



(And do they know that we know that they added "special effects" at 1:50 because that lady accidentally flashed her "parts"? Because we know.)

Senior Idol is a talent contest and online community that encourages old people to publicly hawk their performing prowess while simultaneously "understanding assisted living" and finding the answer to the age-old question "What in God's Creation is Analog? And Why Do We Need Digital?"

But, mostly, it's a collection of videos in which underpaid nursing home employees secretly humiliate the elderly and post the videos online. (Just a theory.)


That's it. From now on, I'm putting Ginkgo Biloba in everything my parents eat. No questions asked.
