I think it's safe to assume that advertising is specifically designed to appeal to certain demographics.  For example, TV commercials during football games all seem to cater to the male 25-45 demographic, which is interested in pickup trucks, fast food, and erectile dysfunction medication.  Similarly, commercials on Spike TV, which is full of ultimate fighting, cartoons, and "man" shows, tend to center more specifically on the male 18-30 demographic, which is more concerned with body sprays, video games, and again, fast food.  Even though demographic-based advertising isn't always entirely accurate, it's usually pretty close. 

So it's weird when advertising doesn't fit the demographic at all.  I don't usually pay conscious attention to these things, but I tend to notice when something isn't right.  Such was the case with a toy commercial on Spike TV.  It wasn't a toy commercial aimed at adults.  It was specifically for kids, showing kids playing with the toy, and showing how cool it was that these kids were playing with this toy.  It was painfully obvious that this commercial was missing the demographic.  It's not even that the demographic is above playing with toys.  It was just the wrong commercial for the demographic. 

I noticed a similar error on the radio during the Opie and Anthony talk show on 92.3 in New York.  It was a commercial for an osteoporosis medication specifically geared towards women.  If any women listen to that radio show, I can guarantee with a high degree of certainty that they're not in the age range that's concerned with osteoporosis.  It's weird to see/hear such a glaring advertising demographic failure, especially on a legitimate media outlet in a legitimate media market. #entertainment
