Seniors in Adland

Have you ever looked closely at pictures of seniors in ads? They look a lot like us regular human seniors, but actually they’re a different species, living on a different planet, called Adland. Here’s how to identify this species:

• The men all have a full head of hair
• Almost nobody wears glasses
• Their skin is marvellously smooth, with just a few decorative wrinkles around the eyes and neck, and no age spots
• They all come in couples
• They’re slim and trim, with no batwing arms or pot bellies
• Nobody uses a cane or walker
• They live in modern, spacious homes, with sunlight pouring in through the windows
• They use their notebook computers while curled up on the couch, and their tough, pain-free backs don’t mind a bit
• They wear stylish casual clothes in mostly pale colours: white, beige or pastels
• They like to hike and jog and ride bikes
• They hold hands a lot
• They hang out in multiethnic groups

Wouldn’t you like to live in Adland? You’d never get old!
