Ageism in the media might not be as noticeable than gender bias and homophobia, but it is no less important. Most of the time, making fun of the elderly is in comedy more than anything else. I am not sure why society has declined where the elderly are something to joke at, but in some cultures, the elderly have the most power because they have lived so long and it is an accomplishment to live that long.
Obviously an advertisement for another airline, but why do they have to poke at the elderly.
