For most products, marketing either trie to tie in to sex or a fear of death, like mentioned by ashtray above, in order to trigger certain inherent responses in the human that is looking at said product.

Looking at the diapers for adults, I saw that on the packaging for the women's diapers, the picture was of a woman enjoing a cup of cofee, all happy, relaxing, or a woman on the phone in her house relaxing and talking to someone.
(The message seems to be, "these diapers will let you enjoy your life! You can sit and relax without worry, piss yourself while talking to your friends! fun!")

Then I looked at the men's diapers. Whereas the women in the diaper were being told that they can be girlish and carefree, even though they can't hold their liquid, the men were portrayed thusly...

a man, in a t-shirt, with a towel around his neck, as if he had just finished a strenuous (sp?) work out, smiling with self-satisfaction.
(the message seems to read "so you can't stop pissing yrself. These diapers will let you be a macho he-man! You can work out! You can be a vigorous sporto...")

things for the young are marketed with sex and death
(BUY NOW, for you WILL DIE!)
things for older people are marketed to help them ignore death, ignore the aging that occurrs.

just rambling.....

don;t know if this has anything to do with anything

pretty much what I was getting at exactly...thanks for sharing this.
