Why whenever there is an article on the news about old people - pensions, care homes - NHS etc etc, there is always some horrific stock pictures of old people dribbling into their porridge?
Don't give her sprouts - what are you thinking??
If the news story is about, say, the economy, you don't have a picture of Mark Carney tucking into a Big Mac do you? No, he's in a nice suit saying something with the words "fiscal prudence" not far from his lips, not "can I supersize that please."
...and the Big Cahuna Coke please
If it's something about immigration, then the interview with Nigel Farage is unlikely to include him scarfing down a plate of curry
...and four papadums
Let's face it. No one looks good eating. OK, maybe The Queen, could pull it off
Maybe not.
So why pick on a section of the public who don't exactly have a lot going for them in the looks department in the first place (cue bunch of old crumblies trying to persuade everyone including themselves how gorgeous they look).
So how about a few piccies of old people doing something a bit less demeaning. How about ...er.... sport?
Hey you bitch - give me my tits back!!
Come and get them if you think you're hard enough
OK maybe stick to the eating
