You know why daddy is poor? because massive corporations spend billions of dollars making emotionally manipulative shit like this to suck all the money from the economy so a few guys at the top can live like the hedonistic assholes they are. | ||

I agree that this video coming from an ad was definitely a mood killer. Which is exactly why I am only focusing on the father/daughter relationship part of the video. To me, that's the most important part. Watched it again... DAMN IT! WHY DID I WATCH IT AGAIN?! | ||

Don't be so naive. Those massive corporations are what give people jobs. If daddy had studied harder in school he would have had some skills that were valuable to these corporations and wouldn't have to work shit jobs and lie about it. They didn't show that part. | ||

Now about the video, maybe i've become a senseless bastard but i didn't get very emotional, its cool, and i wish there was ways to help all the people in that kind of situation, so i did kinda felt something, but its hard for me to believe someone would actually cry watching this. I'd believe you more if this was Hachikō lol. | ||

There are places which will hire people for a few hours to get a job done. Do X for 3 hours I'll give you $40 and you be on your way. You make a few hundred dollars one week and the next week you can't find work anywhere. This all could be taking place over months. | ||

Better summary for this move would be "Don't get children into this world, unless you are sure you can afford it". Also I expected something more emotional from the description. :< I shed tears often, but many of the regular news are way more emotional for me than this. | ||

I don't think the point of the vid was to show that he was unhappy, just that he was hiding a lot from his daughter so she could live as best life as possible. They were trying to show how hard he was working and the toll it was taking on him. | ||

It's unfortunate that daddy won't be able to afford to keep his policy going... It's even worse that anybody who calls himself a man would cry while watching this shit. This is pretty much the life of every single parent with no education. If I shed even one tear for every person telling lies to keep their children happy, I would drown before hitting 1%. | ||

The magic fades once the gullibility wears off. You're able to get away with a lot of bullshit for a very long time. The Santa Clause scam often lasts almost a decade. Also, it wasn't actually a child who wrote this commercial. This is almost a depiction of a child with the wisdom of an adult. Many wives don't realize that their husbands are unemployed for a few months when it happens and they don't tell them. For a child to possess this level of wisdom is most uncanny. | ||

It's usually weapon and security companies that base their advertising on the tragic consequences of not buying their products or services. Insurance companies are typically focused on giving you a sense of comfort and tend to focus more on the "accidents happen, but we're there to make everything alright" type of advertising. This ad. basically says to financially struggling single parents that they are clumsy, lying scum who hurt their children with false hope and fake smiles. Secondly, it says that instead of spending the little money they have making their children happy, they should spend it on insurance products in case they die. What you can conclude from this message is that their children are better off with their poor parents dead. I call bullshit on this advert and any like it. | ||

Even if it wasn't a commercial, it is extremely shallow - it literally presents fake material well-being over honesty towards immediate family. If anything, such uprising does the girl a disservice by 1) spoiling her by providing her comfort that is not sustainable, 2) showing her completely wrong moral values and 3) throwing away the small money he has for show instead of saving them for her future. Small children from poor families are not automatically less happy, particularly if they are not regularly exposed to higher standards and thus have no concept of "missing on something". Being poor isn't actually that great. Not having proper clothes, being unable to participate by going out with friends when the activities cost too much, being teased or isolated generally for the above. Kids can be pretty merciless. And shame at a young age is pretty horrible. Just because he doesn't buy her stuff wouldn't mean she isn't exposed to the higher standards of those around her. If they were poor and that was the status quo, I'd agree, so I see your point. But it looks like a pretty prosperous place in the ad. However, I agree that kids from poorer backgrounds aren't automatically less happy or living a deprived life.
