I posted a facebook question. I asked if anyone else is displeased by the Progressive Insurance ads.

I went on to say, “In a series of supposedly funny ads, Dr. Rick warns students in his class that they should avoid things their parents do. The “parents” are undoubtedly the age of most of us here in our part of Florida. I find it insulting. Yes, some of our generation have problems knowing about pdfs and pronouncing “quinoa”. Some use speaker phones in public places but I was always taught that making a joke of the shortcomings of others isn’t funny nor appropriate.”

I asked, “Am I the only one who cringes when I watch these advertisements?”

Quite a few people posted that they too were unhappy with the direction those ads take. They are an insult to older folks.
