At the YMCA they give away a newspaper called fifty plus advocate. Since I will be 50 in less than three years, I have started reading it. I will be geriatric soon. A gerry. I need to know about elderly issues.
A came across a disturbing ad in this newspaper:
This is just horrible infantilization of the elderly. The “Meet Ginny” reminded me of how animal adoption ads are worded. Here’s an example of a pig up for adoption. Notice how it says “Meet Alfie.”

I'll try to post your comment within 48 hours. If I deem your comment to be flamey, assholey, ambiguous, or off-topic, I will not publish it. Also, bitching and moaning about my bitching and moaning will not be tolerated. I don't mind criticism and disagreement, but one thing I can't stand is complaining about my complaining. If you want to whine about my whining, whine about it in your own damn blog.
