I wanted to pontificate about how I don't hire like that etc etc however, I'll simply make the observation that an advertisement in a news paper or on a bill board is open to all. Just because you can, does not mean you should. Most countries have fairly strict discriminatory laws. This falls afoul of the lot. You should not be able to use an advertising platform to pre-filter your applicants. If you think I'm wrong then substitute "skin colour" or "disabled" or "sex" for "age" in this discussion. Substitute a combination of all of those ... This is wrong. So wrong that the perpetrators should be considered criminal.
