Intro: Young = Good, Old = Bad

• Everyone knows is sucks to be old

We All “Know” Younger/Newer = Better

• When guys get remarried, 40% of them choose a woman 8 (or more) years younger for their next wife
• Old computers = Useless computers
• Newer cars are better cars
• Ask any kid: New toys are more fun than old toys (and the best are the toys you’re ABOUT to get!)
• Not many 40-year-old porn actresses (gross)
• Our society definitely favors the young
