Reply #9: I disagree with this to a point

I really think a lot of advertising is directed at me, a member of the over 50 babyboomer generation. I ignore it but it's there.

The ads for meds are a perfect example. Not that I need or can even use them but I'm subjected to advertising for incontinence, erectile disfunction, arthritis, high cholesterol, and many others that I can't remember right now (they must have a drug for that, too.) There's Mickey Rooney pushing insurance, too.

I don't watch a lot of the network shows so I'm not sure to whom the programming is directed but the commercials I see are certainly relevant to many of the "older folks".
