what do people live for?



This actually brought tears to my very unsentimental eyes.

If only it hadn't been a commercial...still, fantastic video, everyone should watch it and love it, etc.



By the way, I am still absolutely furious at what my friend told me yesterday. While she and two others were floundering in snow along a sidewalk a couple weeks ago, someone rolled down his car window and shouted "Suck my dick" at them. Also yesterday, while she and I were climbing over a little hill to get to a traffic light, someone honked at us. I am just disgusted, okay. Most of the Americans I've come into contact with over the last one and a half months have been absolutely friendly and nice people, but what is the deal with these fuckers? These are the ones who give Americans a bad name. >.>

The bank logo at the end sort of ruined it for me but it was a beautiful video nonetheless XD

Ugh, sorry you have to deal with...obnoxious Americans. There's really no escaping them, sadly :(

ikr D: i was being all teary-eyed and then 'tc bank' and i was just -_-
still, not taking anything away from the concept of the video and the amazing way it was filmed!

it's just sad that they have to exist. i'm really unused to things of this sort hence my strong reaction, but...in a way i don't want to become desensitized to it?

it's not my strongest impression, in fact my impression of americans thus far is that they've all been very nice and welcoming to me, but there are just these rotten people who have to come in and spoil it all. hardly anybody walks here because pretty much everyone owns a car, but there are those of us who can't drive and just have to walk to get to places, and i am still trying to figure out why this whole walking thing would be considered something to make fun of.

That made me cry bbut I think I needed it.
If it were the 90s I'd tell you to stay away from construction sights, but I think that was a stereotype because the real jerks are always in cars, I have found.

it's a really, really well done, moving video <3

luckily there aren't any construction sites around here!
