I didn't even get to watch it with sound and I LOVED it!!!

*sniff* ...Oh, it's nothing, just something in my eye.

Awesome commercial.

Josh S · 25th Nov 2011, 01:56 PM

Saw this a little while ago and I agree, it's excellent.

[Once again, it goes to show that foreign commercials tend be better than American ones.] ;D

I was almost moved to tears.

Brilliant. Simple and profound.

Made me cry

**Mogget** · 25th Nov 2011, 05:35 PM

It's not bad, but maybe I'm slow, because it took me forever to realize it was supposed to be a first-person viewpoint, which meant that I spent most of the ad confused. Still, it's a very good rhetorical technique.

kris burns · 25th Nov 2011, 08:03 PM

Really nice ad

Ridiculous · 25th Nov 2011, 09:07 PM

Hm.. am I the only one that wasn't that thrilled with it?

It's a good ad, but it didn't elicit the same reaction in me as it seems to have for others here (and elsewhere). Maybe it would've been more effective if I didn't know beforehand that it was about a gay couple.

ICTOAUN · 26th Nov 2011, 01:51 AM

Um yeah so that was amazing

someguy · 26th Nov 2011, 04:38 AM

Wow that's awesome.

kellymporta · 26th Nov 2011, 06:11 AM

Loved it!

I like it because it just shows that gay people are normal.

DJNay · 26th Nov 2011, 06:46 AM

love it, they should do a female one too

Vivi · 26th Nov 2011, 08:06 AM

I really liked that video. Very moving.

Rinamir Mortem · 26th Nov 2011, 10:07 AM

I am glad it is not sent out to England. I would be crying every time it was on.

Still a beautiful advert though

Kupo! · 26th Nov 2011, 01:12 PM

I love it lots

Brightsky · 26th Nov 2011, 01:49 PM
