Senior citizen Sue Teller draws the attention of not-so-golden eyes with this little clip about mash-ups. It’s got Mountain Dew’s twisted tongue-in-cheek style all over it but the Dew’s staying mum about its involvement with the aging, crunk-loving album ripper.

Kevin at PR Blog thinks it’s Super Bowl related which makes sense to us as businesses traditionally go out on a limb to get noticed on the coveted meathead spots. Interestingly, the demographic that few besides convalescent homes pay attention to may contain the golden key.

Oxygen took this a step further some years ago and actually gave Sue Johansen, who’s got to be pushing 85 from what we can tell, a sex show complete with a trunk full of pleasure tools. That definitely got the attention of creeped-out but fascinated high school girls for a hot minute. Is Dew tearing a page out of the femme-friendly network for the young and ‘net-savvy? We’ll find out.

The cruelest assumption people make about childless adults isn’t that they’re selfish or that they’ll regret it. It’s the quiet certainty that someone else will take care of them when the time comes, without ever asking who that someone is or whether they actually exist.

A letter to anyone who thinks younger generations talk too much about their feelings: the silence you’re nostalgic for wasn’t peace. It was your father’s clenched jaw at dinner, your mother’s unexplained headaches, and the way nobody in your house said ‘I love you’ unless someone was dying.
