Commercials that make you cry?

[Moonracer]

Not really made me cry, but it's just something that stunned me greatly and made me a bit upset:

A polish PSA campaign against cruelty and abuse towards the elderly. The slogans written in the commercial: "Do not steal", "Do not humiliate", "Do not intimidate", "Don't harm, and you won't be harmed".

It's really sad, because people often forget that they too are going to become old one day, and they certainly wouldn't want to be subjected to the same mistreatment. Come to think of it, it's unthinkable how can people be so cruel: my grandpa is nearing his nineties and he has several health problems, but I would never ever do him any harm.

Those ASPCA commercials make me start bawling every time.  Funny enough, those "starving people in Africa" commercials don't do a darn thing for me.  However, I do start tearing up during those commercials for law firms that do cases for nursing home abuse.  That's an act I find unforgivable, nursing home abuse...  Anything related to nursing homes hits close to home, since my grandma having to live in a nursing home for her final years.  Luckily, her nursing home was amazing, and they treated her SO well.  But, just thinking that there are helpless elderly people suffering from abuse by people who are supposed to take care of them...it's just too much to bear.  So, yeah...those commercials make me both angry and depressed.

There used to be an advert for stopping smoking and it featured a young girl talking about how she begged her dad to stop smoking and he died aged 34 from lung cancer.... It was quite a hard hitting advert

Also anything to do with the NSPCC absolutely gets me.... Can't watch them anymore even though I know it's only acting

tears of pure rage.

Lol yes, these make me cry. I can't look at the tv so I just mute them and wait for them to go away. Darn you Sarah McLachlan

The first time I saw this video I cried:

It is such a shame it never made it to television.

I will have to follow those links when I am not at work...


There used to be this smoking ad that would get me -  http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=110400089041343

Its a 30 second ad-  an older guy complaining about how his wife always used to get on his case about smoking- telling him to quit, that it was bad for him and made the drapes would smell and how she threatened to stop kissing her-

and he would tell her- "It's my lungs and my life!"  and he didn't quit.

Then he pauses- and he looks down and you can see he is fighting not to break down- and he says he was wrong though- the life that he lost was not his but his wife- his wife died from lungcancer and she was his life- 

"My wife.... was my life."

SAD!
