This is certainly not a new image, but once you add the proper caption, the whole Wiimote bridging the generation gap concept gets a little bit disturbing. OK, it freaks me out almost as much as the JesusSwitch.

his is when you know that the entire civilization has gone down the shitter; A gadget/tech blog on a slow day further showing us how paranoid and sexually repressed our society has become.

Are grandparents not supposed to spend time with their grand-kids? You guys are disgusting... No, America doesn't need more therapy, America needs to get their shit together and start fixin' shit.

Is that even an official Nintendo image?

Somehow I don't think it is, it looks photoshopped.

I defenitly agree divorce certificate about the subject. Wow you see a picture of an old man playing games with a child. I mean i can why others would find it creepy though by the old mans eyes. But i also would like to know if this picture was photoshopped cause of the mans eyes. They make the guy look creepy and could possibly be the reason why this picture is being talked about. There is so many problems with the world today and believe it or not the problems come from Hollywood and the more technology develops the more were all !@#$ed! Oh btw were not all equal aswell dont listen to the retards who say that.

Hollywood brings us many evils indeed. I'm glad to see people rejecting this sort of thing. Gives me a pang of hope about how things are outside of my immediate region.

I believe the image to be somewhat shopped, but there are some pictures with the old guy (though not the one in question?).

Old man and girl.

I want to know why the old people are holding the Wii-Remotes the wrong way?

[oo : +] as opposed to [+ : oo] for the classic style controls, it is impossible to play that way (I just attempted Mario Bros.).

LOL looks can be deceiving i know but that doesnt mean that dude is psycho. That can cause alot of problems in the world some guy may look psycho like him and is taken away from these ads cause of complaints and i believe that dude has the right to sue. I'd believe anyways cause who knows if the guy is psycho do we have the right to actually call this guy a psycho and take away a life from somebody who wants to have a life i mean by commercializing anyways cause its a start to a career atleast its better then mine?

just a few points:

divorce certificate is a spam bot (divorce certificate link in sig)

and the reason the old people are holding the Wii-Remotes the wrong way, is because they are not actually paying the wii, just posing. That, or the image has been flipped (they do that all the time for shots)
