A good PSA is hard to find. Maybe this Postal Service business is making me all emo and gooey inside but I like these cancer videos. Cancer 1 & Cancer 2. Touching, honest and earnest. via. Andre writes in that the line for the first vid reads, "It´s necessary to believe in the cure of cancer. We believe" and the second, "Everybody needs some help to deal with cancer. We too."

I'm reading your blog, it's really interesting and personal one. Congratulations.
...and I must say you that, just now, I'm trying to stop my tears falling with such a sensitive and emothionals videos.
Thank you very much. It's another way to show that suffering and valerous people.

Thanks Andre. I didn't think those original translations sounded quite right.
Posted by: thespunker | 01/25/2006 at 10:55 AM
The 1st one says:
It´s necessary to believe in the cure of cancer.
We believe.
The 2ns one:
Everybody needs some help to deal with cancer.
We too.
The original translations didnt catch the REAL meaning of these sentences...
Hope I´ve helped...

Ok. The first one was good but the second ad had tears in my eyes. Great emotional appeal.

The first video says:
It is necessary to believe in healing of cancer.
The second one:
Everybody needs a friend to face cancer. We too.
