It seems every commercial has a bunch of mindless 20 something hard bodies. How about the older people who have good paying jobs?

Don't libel the advertisers as hating old people. They want the viewer to actually LOOK AT the advertisement to see what they are advertising. No one wants to look at a bunch of sagging wrinkles.

If I was making a commercial, I wouldn't feature old folks. We would rather see young people doing fun stuff than the AARPees. It seems that the biggest buyers of popular technology, cars, sports wear, etc. are younger people. Us old folks know what we want and we are seldom moved by media.

because our culture or better cult is about being young, beautiful and healthy = successful person
this is what we worship and we don't want to be reminded that some day we are going to be old, wrinkled, frail, helpless and lonely
so, what we see in media is a kind of escapism for the whole nation (see no ols, hear no old,...)

he he. what about the 20-somethings who have bright minds and weigh more than 90 pounds.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: American media is about 3 things, sex, money, and beauty, in that order.

Because we don't have any money we are to busy with trying to bail our children out of their financial problems.

They are afraid of wrinkles and experience.
