#25

I have spent close to a week searching for this commercial online. I saw it for the first time last Saturday and it just made me bawl. I made everyone in my family watch it with me as I cried and cried. Sorry for its condition. Its the only one I could find. But I really wanted to share.



I am so excited for 08/08/08! Here are the other commercials from the same series.







I just saw the Michael Phelps' commercial but it wasn't very good. They filmed all new material of him swimming and it was about him being part fish with funky music in the background. Blah!

ETA: I forgot to add this one. I like the music box melody that plays and I think the way her body bends is so cool.

But he finished with the help of his dad!!! and MORGAN FREEMAN!

The best part of the Olympics is when North and South Korea walk in together. Its like a glimpse of what could be, gets me every time I think about it.

OMG I CRIED TOO. And then I watched all the related videos and saw him pull a hamstring a thousand times and BAWLED.

And then I watched the other ones and cried.

You seriously can't do this to us pre- during- post- menstrual women.

I like the one that talks about how the Olympics are all about putting aside our differences. Because it really is. That's why we shouldn't boycott them. I don't like what China is doing or does but the Olympics aren't about that. Like he said, they aren't about differences. It's about togetherness.

I still choke up every time I see them. Its getting to be embarrassing.

Oh Jesus why, now I'm all weepy and want to eat chocolate and watch those dumb inspirational stories they tell about the potential Olympic teammembers....

Saw that commercial on real TV and had to make myself not cry.

P.S. You can watch some of them on their website. I think they are slowly releasing them.

P.P.S. No Jesse Owens.
