Don't Bully Me

 

This is one of my favorite 'senior moments' commercials.  This was senior version of the Got Milk series from a few years ago, and for once older people are shown as being strong and productive.  

I think the humor is fun but behind it is a lot of truth.  That's the ingredient that makes it so funny.  Too often  our culture in America writes off the elderly.  We don't always view them as real people with real feelings who can still contribute. One of the important points is this commercial gives them credit and respect.
