I am also excluded from this one. 36 year old female. Are they targeting men? Underage? Anyway...

I haven't done this one, but it sounds pretty crazy that a sixty year old was restricted from that video. :monkey:

Didn't get to do that one but, maybe the ad is geared toward the younger wine drinker.  I think the age/gender restrictions are BS.  I've come across one where I actually use the products but it wouldn't let me see the video because of my age, LOL.

I understand advertisers wanting their target market but restricting an ad like that by age or gender is stupid. As long as the viewer is of legal drinking age the video shouldn't be restricted :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :wave:

I couldn't get it either.  I guess old people don't drink wine.

No, I did not see that one. But guys, remember,
past 55, WE do not have a voice anymore.

We do not drink, do not eat, do not own houses
or condos, do not own pets, car, do not shop
for children or grand children. We do not exist,
we do not have a life. I have to start blogging
about us, 55 +.

You're probably right.  Survey takers are forced into retirement after 55.  Perhaps I'll look into a career change when I reach that milestone age and take up binary trading options.  I heard you can make a small fortune in that if done right.

I always look forward to the surveys about pets.  My husband and I have a multi-pet household.  Often times, though, when asked how many pets I have, I am disqualified after answering 5 or more.  Go figure.  If anyone has opinions about pets it should be the multi-pet owner. 

If anyone should know anything about wine it should be those over 50 years.  It is funny when you think about it but it's also kind of dumb too, don't you think?

I haven't seen this one but you never know what market surveyors are interested in... just be glad most videos aren't age/gender specific now

I am 69 and I was also excluded due to age and or gender. The advertiser has a budget. The advertiser is targeting a specific group. I do not know what group but obviously many of us are not in the targeted group.

I get restricted quite often on the alcohol videos.  They must want to appeal to a younger crowd.

At my age I find it a little funny to be disqualified.I can never tell what they are looking for, so I just move on.

The businesses know who their target market is, and who typically buys their product. It makes all the sense in the world to restrict the ad to those groups, doing otherwise is a waste of resources. Sorry, you don't get your penny, but don't mistake that for lacking business sense.

They must have figured out that people over a certain age only drink for effect.  8)

I know the feeling.  I am 59 years old and was also restricted by age or gender.  What age or gender are they looking for?

I am a 24 year old woman and I qualified. I find it so ironic that those of you older than me didn't qualify. I don't even drink wine :)

I noticed that they changed the restriction on the Pacifico video, you had to be young to get in before now antone can.

I was restricted from watching this video (42 year old female) but my daughter, who just turned 21 this year, was able to watch it.  I find this pretty amusing since my daughter thinks wine is disgusting and I happen to love wine.  I wonder if perhaps they are targeting younger drinkers because they don't tend to have an interest in wine so they're trying to expand their market base in that demographic.  It's actually pretty smart marketing when you think about it because there's a pretty good chance that at some point I'm going to drink their wine whether I see their commercial or not, so there's no point in paying me to watch it, lol.

Who can figure their thinking on this!  Perhaps they will come back later and include the senior citizens.  Once I have been restricted from a video, I don't normally try to watch it again, but AnnaKiki points out in this thread that the restrictions can change, so I will have to start checking to see if I can watch some of the ones that have been restricted in the past.

Don't feel bad. I am 35 and that is apparently too old for the make up video (Rimmel).

i havent heard anyone say they got to try this so its probably a click to get your link to send you trash in your mail or keep tabs on where you search.,

Yes I could see limiting those under the drinking age..... Personally drink wine at least a few times a week so it's a bit disappointing when you can't watch an ad where you have a genuine interest... Oh well their loss I guess

thats really weird i have been able to do that one several times however im in my 30s but still must be something wrong with the video

I can't watch it either.  I tried putting in that I was 40 something just to see if I could get it.  I wasn't going to do it, I was just curious but I was still blocked from it.

I have had this problem and I am 43 it seems they want a younger but of age group.  Its the same as on other sites i do.  Its weird they wouldn't let everyone who is of age watch that video.

O know it is very funny, I tell I am 46 years old and I have to tell them that I am about 21 to 25 and it works then.  I guess they are targeting YOUNG PEOPLE LOL
