I saw this a few weeks ago, and I just had to post it. The video has a great message, but the funniest part has to be the brother's exaggerated movements. I nearly died around the 7 second mark at his face. Tell me that isn't the funniet face you have ever seen!
According to the Ad Council...
More than 79% of Americans feel "the most significant family or social problem facing America is the physical absence of the father from the home." Research shows that the lack of a father in the home correlates closely with crime, educational and emotional problems, teenage pregnancy, and drug and alcohol abuse.
In an effort to show dads the critical role they play in their children's lives, the Ad Council has partnered with the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse and volunteer ad agency Campbell-Ewald to create a new PSA campaign that communicates to fathers that their presence is essential to their children's well-being. The campaign provides fathers with the information they need to become better dads.

I agree, this is one of the best commerical I've seen in a while. It was very touching, for the fact that I never had that type of relationship with my daddy. I Love my daddy. He was a hard working bread winner for the family of a wife and five children. Coming from a family that had to work all the time to make ends meet. I Thank God for the ones that is paving the way.

Super cute PSA! I usually get grouchy when a commercial break cuts my favorite programming, but this is something to look forward to! REally!

The commercial is cute...the info below it is misconstrued to the point of being like propaganda...and obviously correlation doesn't equal causation. The picture is way bigger. Black families need to understand this.
