Popular Post Yettie One Posted October 30, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2012 My sister posted this on her Facebook profile. It is an advert fair enough, but the message behind it is really quite profound. Hope that watching it, this simple little video touched you as much as it did me. Pay It Forward. Love and hugs to you all today. Hope the sun is shining on you. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotNoNever Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 At the risk of being banged up in a soapbox, I have to say there is something deeply immoral about the video too. Apart from an ad exec seeing an opportunity in a blind man down on his luck, one has to wonder if ONE of the potential messages here is that helping him survive is better than helping him live. It was also rather patronising in that she did not tell him what she had written. Indeed, she did not even tell him she had written it at first. We are led to beleve, in the stiry, that h is happy to be portrayed in this way. Many blind people, and others with disablities, would strongly object to being portrayed as acting too heavily on their impairments. A lot of food for thought in what is certainly a well intentioned video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yettie One Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 OMG *** Locks NNN in a Soap Box *** I think that if you really went into things that deeply, you could find someone that would disagree or have issue with almost any form of advertising or multi media broadcast promoting something. While I don't completely disagree with ya NNN, I do think that in the greater scheme of things, it was just a pleasant thought, and meant to encourage rather than offend. Nuff said, hope that Soap Box is big enuff for you mr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
