I have loved this PSA ever since I first saw it.

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.

I've seen this a few times and it still beings chills down my spine.

This would be great on TV to raise awareness. But hams would just get offended say this is hate speech or some bullshit and let the message go in one ear and out the other.

The Tumblrina hams are lost causes. But there are parents of obese kids who this might get through to.

I admire your hope in these dark times

I hope so. It makes me worried when I see posts of fat disgusting "parents" proud to be feeding their children unhealthy garbage. Hams like that just need to be shot.

It would help with new parents who do the same thing the parent in the video did. Giving in to your child demand for treats to shut them up.

I wish when the ad "rewinded" to the baby eating fries, the friend said "no, give him apples" and then it went forward with a healthy, fit life and showed him finishing a marathon at 32 and 160lb Just to really highlight how much better a fit life is.
[–] swohio [S] 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
That's a great idea. Sadly I just imagined some fatty saying "well there are apples in apple pie so it's the same thing, tee-hee."

But Raegen 'finished' a marathon too. She's 400lb AND an 'athlete'. It IS possible, by living the HAES way, and don't forget that junetiks, not junk food, are the major cause of obesity-related cundishuns.
