Thumbs down TV Commercials

Anyone ever notice that TV Commercials that have the "typical family" where almost always the mom/dad are in their upper 30's - early 40's and their kid(s) are 5 to 10 years old.

It's amazing how in "TV commercial land" the parents are usually around 30 years older than their kids...you never see 20 year old mom/dad getting in the family mini van with their 3 or 4 year old.

I guess according to these commercials, there are no teenage parents or even anyone having kids until they are 28-30, and with good paying jobs.

I've even seen this one commercial with this dad who has a bad back and must be 42-45 years old with a 2-3 year old toddler...the guy looks like grandpa lol.

I agree.
AND most of the commercials/shows make the parents out to be 'stupid', 'slow', out of touch and uninformed. It is insulting.
