    I had this e-mailed me today. Apparantely it was created by someone not hired to do so but felt the need to do so as it was a subject close to his heart and now it has gone viral.

    It's pretty impressive anyway

    That's brilliant... It's nice to see a change from the shock tactic that's used all the time.

    True.. It's just human nature that we become desensitised to shock after so many ads.

    he's also in subway ads, and the old el paso fajita ad.

    Very good, nice message as opposed to maimed victims and crying mothers

    Really beautiful, I actually got shivers down my spine watching that, and I can safely say that has never happened with any other ad. Thanks for posting.
