@KrisNoetzelman yeah there are some fathers who are nut heads, but so are there mothers like that, though not as many as fathers, i still think they should talk about fathers
@KrisNoetzelman well they don't play the commercial about dads where i live or they don't play it at all, and yes im not saying a relationship of a mother to her child is bad, its just that she is not the only one! the child has a father too you know, the commercial that ticks me off the most though is the one that says "you wouldn't be here without her" news flash you wouldn't be here either if it wasn't for your father
@KrisNoetzelman if it was for mothers day why are they still playing it? these commercials make it seem like they are the only important one in the family, which i find way more sexist then men not wanting women to do their jobs
you guys seem to forget that without fathers there would be no you, you (p&g) have no problems congratulating moms, but did fathers cease to exist? last i checked fathers had an equally important role in there child's life! dad's deserve to go see the olympics if there child is in it just the same as MOMS! oh and your commercial about she is the feet etc, she is the one without the head yeah well the father is the head!
It's hard to believe that these young kids are actually doing things like figure skating, speed skating and ski jumping, but at the same time it's not.
The little downhill ski racer reminds me so much of myself.
This commercial still gets me. This is a piece of art.
P&G do animal testing don't they? that means they throw acid into the eyes of rabbits and all the other ingredients they use. wonder what mothers would make of that?
Awwwww! I have great respect for my husband and for the father he is to our 2 grown sons but as a mom I love this. And to my husband... no, they are not still kids to him. I'm the one who nurtures mostly. He's the one who really helps them prepare for life on their own. I want to feed them, baby them, etc. He sees the need to nudge them out of the nest so I think the commercial is right on and means no disrespect to dads. We're a great parenting team because of our differences! Great job, P&G!
partially agree with all the father comments, but in America fathers aren't really known for their role in taking care of children. They usually make the money, take care of the family financially, and the mom stays at home and takes care of the children. Of course there are exceptions, but this is the general pattern, and I find it totally logical to single mothers out in this aspect.
26 people are to fat and lazy to do sports, this advert is amazing and it makes you wonder how a parent feels when there child is about to plunge straight down a ski jump at 60mph+ and trust me i have stood at the top of one those and it is a brown pants moment.
The fact is that more than 600 companies manufacture safe and effective products that are comparable to Procter & Gamble's WITHOUT TESTING ON ANIMALS. When I called the company to ask if they tested on animals Jose LIED and said they didn't. Not only do they kill thousands of animals, but they LIE about their products.
You know how many HUMANS died in order to build the computer that you're typing on right now. Exactly you don't. If it's a Dell, mac or toshiba I dear you to google it. You'd be horrified.
It always pisses me of when people complain about animals being treating inhumanly when there are human beings alive right now being treated much worst.
@tinkysaweet They only test on animals where required by law. That is a fact - so before you start slagging on a company, make sure you get your facts right.
Aside from the valid remarks of the exclusion of the fathers, this commercial would have better kept its poignancy if there wasn't the voiceover at the end.
@Lucidique83 Get your facts straight. P&G only tests on animals where required by law. They are the leading company in the world in pushing for alternative testing. Don't believe the misinformation.
Ahem... I love this video because it's very moving. I can see why some men might feel left out but let's look at this from the marketing perspective. And this is the ONLY thing that is offensive- it's targeted at women. Notice the sponsors? Pampers, Tide, Bounty. Because the stereotypes persist-women take care of the baby, do the grocery shopping and do the cleaning. Women should be angry, not men. What, no comments like, "Men use bounty too!" or "Men do laundry too"? Oh boo hoo hoo!
i love the winter olympics and i want to speed skate and i just love this commercial but i dont know how to get in the olympics because theres no races held here
This commercial is just so touching. It makes me feel just so happy inside... there's a wonderful message here presented in a wonderful way. Thank you for making this for the world to see and treasure. :)
@Panditha666 And what about sisters. And brothers. And cousins. And second cousins. And neighbors. And mothers in law. Give me a break. It's a 60 second commercial, not a documentary. Mothers have an often thankless job and should be put on a pedestal. Let someone else do a commercial thanking dads, and just appreciate that someone is recognizing mothers who helped their kids be their best.
also, it's hard to find a movie these days that does not show female violence against men as funny. "Jerry McGuire," "Clerks II" are a couple of examples that come immediately to mind...
...FWIW, advertising agencies, run by people with minimal intelligence, resort to idiot vs. wise one themes in their ads and, taking the safest course, they will pretty much unanimously show the man as idiot. No one standing in his corner, I suppose...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
My point is...If you watch this commercial and the first thing you think is "What about fathers?", then I think that speaks to the selfishness of a person. There's no conspiracy. This is an ad about Mom's. Let's appreciate it for that and not rip it up. I've watched it numerous times and I can't seem to find the part where they say Father's are not important.
It is simply amazing to me that if every group of people is not mentioned in an ad/commercial, then the commercial must be garbage. Are you kidding me?! You people that complain about "where are the dad's?" are unreal! If it was a dad commercial than the mom's would complain. Lets do one with mom's,dads, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grand-moms, grand-dads. cousins, *don't forget about the step family* It's a great commercial...FOR MOMS!
Fine, show us a dad commercial. Right, there aren't any. Well, there are but then feminists come down on them like a bag of hammers and get them removed. What's good for the goose...
@BobSutan So you're saying you think the misogynists should have this commercial removed? I'm not trying to play with words, I'm just trying to understand this line of thinking.
I think that Apolo Ohno should reestablish contact with his Mom. It would be good for him and her. My exe has alienated my child from me while Family Court poured gas on that flame. So I have researched the impact on the child of being alienated from one parent. It's huge. Many such kids as adults in their 30s and 40s have all sorts of issues with relationships, careers, and emotional health.
Juice, have you notice how men and father hood are treated in ads? We are all idiots, buffons, and the subject of scorn overall. Enough already! I am a worthwhile and valuable human being who happens to be in the male 1/2 of the population.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@sjmarcy No I suppose I haven't noticed. Do you have an ad in mind? I just can't think of ever watching tv and thinking "As a man, I've been wronged by that ad". If anybody walks around angry at the portrayal of men, or women, in ads, I think you're missing out on life. I think if these things bother you (anyone) then you probably had a bad encounter with the opposite sex and want to take it out on the world.
A huge percentage of ads put down men. How about that SuperBowl Doritos ad? Or the Mountain Dew in the lightning storm ad? Men are often portrayed as being ridiculous, superfluous, and that they can be hurt without penalty. How about that Justin Timberlak ad where he keeps getting hurt? If you truly ARE interested in the topic there is no shortage of examples with commentary here on YouTube.
Excellent post sjmarcy. I couldn't agree more. I highly recommend the book Spreading Misandry by Paul Nathanson and Katherine K. Young and also Legalizing Misandry by Paul Nathanson and Katherine K. Young.
Apparently, Ohno hasn't seen his mother for a very, very long time, knows where she is, has no desire to meet her. His dad has always been right there for him.
Ohno is America's most decorated Winter Olympics athelete ever.
Interesting someone would bring up Apollo Ohno in this Olympic-themed commercial that ignores the significance of fathers. Ohno was raised by his father and has had little contact with his mother.
I'm having a contest with my friend and we are trying to see who can get the most subscribers without having any videos up. So please subscribe so I can win this thing!!!
As someone who has competed all his life, this commercial captures that moment where I do my absolute best and I look over to see my mom as my biggest fan. Eventhough it's to moms, if your parents have ever made the sacrifices for dreams, we thank them.
Father's love there children too!!! Can't anybody read what I said?? Why were fathers NOT involved too? Why is blatant sexism allowed here?
Double Standard for women??
Honor your Father AND Mother..
I cant stand how "Fathers" "True fathers"...NOT "sperm donors" are left out ..and treated like some kind of losers..like we see all to often now in the media..
How on earth can you say this video insults fathers? How does honoring your mother dis your father? What about grandparents? What about the village? What about coachs, teachers, ect. This is a commercial that paid for us to get to see the Olympics on TV . Just feel the emotion, accept it for what it is and get a life.
I am so in love with this commercial. There has never been anything so compelling, and beautiful!! Absolutely brilliant!!! I cry and get goosebumps every time I watch it. ALL the Olympic commercials were amazing this year!!! I'm soooo heartbroken that it is already over! :(
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow. P&G puts out a beautiful, tasteful commercial honoring moms, and you are 'disgusted' by it. I showed this ad to my wife so that she could be inspired. You probably had yours get you another beer.
MrPent9295...fuck u!!!! i have 3 best friends that r black and no they r no loveing white trash i mean they like white people but they dont praise them or anything they r super nice to everyone and they r very talented at baseball and could probably kick ur ass and i love them to death they r like my brothers to me and im a white girl so shut the fuck up and ur wrong 97% of all whites dont agree with u asshole
woops! my bad I was agreeing with you about the comment toward the MrPent guy.
as for the Shani Davis comment it was directed towards MrPent and his remark of how there are "no blacks" in this commercial. I suppose I should have just pressed the reply button on his comment.... :)
Anyways the reason why there is not much minority in this commercial is because if you think about the only main African american winter Olympian is Shani Davis. If this were for the summer then it wold be another story,
yes i realize that there are blacks in america. i just don't like them. i wish they were dead. BLACKS don't do anything but cause trouble. if blacks were at the olympic, there be nothing but trouble. NIGGERS don't know how to act. 97% of all whites people agrees with me. the ones that don't are are niggers loveing white trash. notice how there are no black in this commercial.
Loved that commercial when I saw it on TV. Gave me goosebumps and almost made me cry. Check out this commercial it's also very beautiful watch?v=Jv5za3XwM0c
mother walked out on him when he was a young child, and that he was raised by his father.
You should know that men and fathers are very tired of being slighted, made fun of, denigrated, unmentioned, and taken for granted.
I, for one, will do my level best to avoid P&G products whenever possible as the direct result of this campaign, and I will tell everyone I know to do the same.
It is particularly disconcerting when in both the United States and Canada, that fathers do not walk out on their families nearly to the extent that mothers push the fathers out unilaterally, and then do their level best to poison children against their own fathers. It is a very real social problem, and is compounded by your biased anti-father, pro-mom campaign.
It is particularly ironic in the face of the fact that Apolo Anton Ohno was sponsored by the Thanks Mom campaign, that his own
I read today that P&G is the proud sponsor of Olympic contenders Moms with its Thanks Mom campaign developed by W&K.
As a father, I am offended by this blatant, sexist, and deliberate slight to fathers. It compounds the social problem of the denigration of fathers, and is a very public statement that fathers are disposable, unnecessary, and irrelevant.

what i like about this Commercial and the winter olympic is the fact that there are aren't any niggers in it. those dumbass blacks are always trying to get there monkey asses involds. thanks god niggers hate cold weather. WHITE PRIDE FOREVER.. P.S. THE WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE WITHOUT THEM NIGGERS
So what? Does Proctor & Gamble think Dad's are unimportant too? I get so tired of Dad's being dissed and getting no respect. So I want to thank my dad for showing me how to be strong, for giving me courage, for demonstrating to me the kind of man I should marry by taking good care of my mom. Thank you for walking me down the aisle at my wedding, for all the long talks about life and for working so hard to make sure we had all the things we needed growing up. TO DAD. I LOVE YOU AND THANKS!!!!
I know!!! I mean, I love my mom, but I love my dad too and I thank them for whatever I am now. I might have been with my mom longer than my dad since he had to work in another country, but STILL...
Hi, I got this e-mail from P&G: "Thanks for contacting P&G about our involvement in and sponsorship of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, Jay. We appreciate your interest! The agency that created the ad spot you referenced is Wieden + Kennedy (Portland). The song that's heard was created specifically for this commercial, so theres no name or title to download, etc.
Not all of the kids were junior Olympians. However, all were proficient in their sport. Most notable were the ski jumper, skeleton, speed skaters, and bob sledders. The spot was filmed in Salt Lake City, UT (site of the 2002 Olympics), and most of the kids came from sports clubs there. This information is OK to share. Hope it helps! Ruth P&G Team"
I love this commercial. They've had some great ones this time. Like the G.E. "Say Ah", and the AT&T "Perfect Day". Even the McDonalds one with the girls hockey team. Even though I can't stand McDonalds, it's still a really good commercial.
i have no sons or daughters, but every time I see this commercial I cry. fucking awesome.

As someone who has competed all his life, this commercial captures that moment where I do my absolute best and I look over to see my mom as my biggest fan. Eventhough it's to moms, if your parents have ever made the sacrifices for dreams, we thank them.

Father's love there children too!!! Can't anybody read what I said?? Why were fathers NOT involved too? Why is blatant sexism allowed here?
Double Standard for women??
Honor your Father AND Mother..
I cant stand how "Fathers" "True fathers"...NOT "sperm donors" are left out ..and treated like some kind of losers..like we see all to often now in the media..

How on earth can you say this video insults fathers? How does honoring your mother dis your father? What about grandparents? What about the village? What about coachs, teachers, ect. This is a commercial that paid for us to get to see the Olympics on TV . Just feel the emotion, accept it for what it is and get a life.

I am so in love with this commercial. There has never been anything so compelling, and beautiful!! Absolutely brilliant!!! I cry and get goosebumps every time I watch it. ALL the Olympic commercials were amazing this year!!! I'm soooo heartbroken that it is already over! :(

The blatant sexism is disgusting. This could have easily been avoid by saying "P&G: Proud sponsor of Parents." Father's love there children too!!!

Wow. P&G puts out a beautiful, tasteful commercial honoring moms, and you are 'disgusted' by it. I showed this ad to my wife so that she could be inspired. You probably had yours get you another beer.

as for the Shani Davis comment it was directed towards MrPent and his remark of how there are "no blacks" in this commercial. I suppose I should have just pressed the reply button on his comment.... :)

yes i realize that there are blacks in america. i just don't like them. i wish they were dead. BLACKS don't do anything but cause trouble. if blacks were at the olympic, there be nothing but trouble. NIGGERS don't know how to act. 97% of all whites people agrees with me. the ones that don't are are niggers loveing white trash. notice how there are no black in this commercial.

mother walked out on him when he was a young child, and that he was raised by his father.
You should know that men and fathers are very tired of being slighted, made fun of, denigrated, unmentioned, and taken for granted.
I, for one, will do my level best to avoid P&G products whenever possible as the direct result of this campaign, and I will tell everyone I know to do the same.

It is particularly disconcerting when in both the United States and Canada, that fathers do not walk out on their families nearly to the extent that mothers push the fathers out unilaterally, and then do their level best to poison children against their own fathers. It is a very real social problem, and is compounded by your biased anti-father, pro-mom campaign.
It is particularly ironic in the face of the fact that Apolo Anton Ohno was sponsored by the Thanks Mom campaign, that his own

Dear Rebecca and Kirk,
I read today that P&G is the proud sponsor of Olympic contenders Moms with its Thanks Mom campaign developed by W&K.
As a father, I am offended by this blatant, sexist, and deliberate slight to fathers. It compounds the social problem of the denigration of fathers, and is a very public statement that fathers are disposable, unnecessary, and irrelevant.

So what? Does Proctor & Gamble think Dad's are unimportant too? I get so tired of Dad's being dissed and getting no respect. So I want to thank my dad for showing me how to be strong, for giving me courage, for demonstrating to me the kind of man I should marry by taking good care of my mom. Thank you for walking me down the aisle at my wedding, for all the long talks about life and for working so hard to make sure we had all the things we needed growing up. TO DAD. I LOVE YOU AND THANKS!!!!

Hi, I got this e-mail from P&G: "Thanks for contacting P&G about our involvement in and sponsorship of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, Jay. We appreciate your interest! The agency that created the ad spot you referenced is Wieden + Kennedy (Portland). The song that's heard was created specifically for this commercial, so theres no name or title to download, etc.
ValentinaKrasnaya 1 year ago
Not all of the kids were junior Olympians. However, all were proficient in their sport. Most notable were the ski jumper, skeleton, speed skaters, and bob sledders. The spot was filmed in Salt Lake City, UT (site of the 2002 Olympics), and most of the kids came from sports clubs there. This information is OK to share. Hope it helps! Ruth P&G Team"
