This is a great video and I always re watch it even if it is reposed. BUT- I wish they would get a little more graphic with this. I used to be an EMT, and an ER tech in an inner city area and have had a fair share of patients having heart attacks, and also being in cardiac arrest. I would like to see a video of a 30s/40s male or female (I'll go with male for this example) playing with their child, drop and hit the ground like a bag of we cement. Their child is devastated and doesn't know what to do tugging at their father's body as their life dwindles away. A bystander calls 911. EMS shows up, takes the father to local ER. Now this is the good part. I want people TO SEE how violent, and not gentle a cardiac arrest is ran by hospital staff. CPR is not gentle at all. The fat person who is in cardiac arrest would be on the hospital stretcher while an ER tech is performing cpr on their bare chest, and you can hear ribs cracking, and the skin where CPR being performed starts to bruise. This is mean while an ER doctor attempts to inbtubate the person but says "I can't visualize the airway, there is excess tissue from all the fat!". The ER doc miraculously places the breathing tube, yet blood starts to spatter up the tube due to pulmonary contusions from the CPR. In my experience this happens when CPR is done for 15-20 mins or more. Nurses are trying to place IVs but they can't find any veins- his arms are too fat so they just jab at whatever they think they feel because they need to push epinephrine and other meds. Then they shock him with the defibrillator and his body jolts. No pulses back. After a while of working him the ER doc says, "well we have tried everything, anyone have another ideas". Everyone shakes there head. ER doc says, "Time of death 1:31pm. I'll go tell his wife and daughter". Hard stop where the physician walks into the family room where his wife and daughter wait to hear what happened.

That's down right poetic.

This is beautiful as both a PSA and a short art piece, full of little precious moments that most people can relate to and recognize as bad habits, like rewarding children with candy and treating yourself to some junk food or a coke and a TV show after a hard day. Kids see these things and copy, to them it's normal, and the way of the world.

I am ashamed of our society for this ad being considered controversial, let alone necessary.

I think this is a good enlightenment material for hams whose brain still contains grey matters and not fully replaced by lipocytes.

I'd go so far as to say that people who make their children fat are even worse human beings than fat people themselves

Jeebus, imagine being the fat actor that had to play the ER patient and then watching this full commercial...be interesting to see what condition that guy ended up in. Wonder if it inspired him at all.
