It's a bit dodgy to say it makes you mad, though.
I am not sure why it would make someone mad any more than the fact that the people in adverts also tend to be more attractive, happy and charismatic than the wider population as well.
Adverts tend to reflect the aspirations of the demographic they're selling to.
If you look at an advert for a phone, it's probably attractive 20-something-year-olds who are go-getters moving around a city. If I see someone like me in an advert, then it's probably advertising Ronseal or life insurance.
