Huh?

I just saw a commercial for this hearing aid thing that looks like a bluetooth headset.

Voiceover: Are you afraid of missing _important_ information?

Scene: old lady with a bunch of other old ladies playing bingo.

Bingo announcer: B3

Old lady looks confused and frightened.

Old lady (to other old lady): What did he say?

Other old lady: (contemptfully) B3.

Is this really what old people are afraid of?  Sub-optimal bingo performance?

And then, to get even weirder, after the old lady gets her bluetooth hearing aid thing, they show her walking confidently around, dressed in jeans and a sweater thirty years too young for her.  And she’s fucking anorexic!  She looks like that crazy old lady Monica and I saw at The Grove in Los Angeles.

Ok, this is lame, but I’m trying to share with you fuckers.
