Old people + Wii Bowling championship = serious business
Category: Wii, Posted: 10/03/2007 at 06:08AM EDT by Brendon Lindsey, Managing Editor
We all knew that older people love Wii Bowling... but THIS much? This video is the first in a series of three episodes chronicling the Wii Sports bowling championship between residents of various Erickson living communities. With nicknames such as 8 Ball and Gimpy, and trash talk rivaling Apollo Creed, this video is sure to awaken the sports-crazed maniac in you. (Or not.)
Was it partly staged? I don't know... Can't we just pretend an old guy named Six Pack can say "You got served" without being told to? Does it always have to be some form of advertisement, even when the end of the video is clearly a plug for the Erickson communities? And hey, they certainly seem to be enjoying themselves.
Either way, I know where I'll be taking my grandp--wait, I probably shouldn't post that, or he'll know we aren't going to Wal Mart...

Great video, I'll have to put it on my Bowling blog. It does make sense that Older people would be able to benefit from it, probably more so than kids. I had never thought of getting my grandmother involved with the Wii, have to get her over to my bro's house to try it out.
I wish I still had grandparents to play this with... But woot Texas!
Does anyone else think he sounds like the old NFL Films guy?
