Ketchup Soup - Ad Council

This is an advertisement for the Ad Council dealing with child hunger. Very powerful. It has a woman who is taking ketchup packets from various fast food places and brings them home to make a 'ketchup soup' for her children.

This is a pretty good one. Very powerful.  There were three more in this campaign, that I'd love to see here. It's a shame this is the only one at the moment.

Yeah, I wish I had the others. And this one at a better quality. I'm sure they are on the internet somewhere though, but it took forever to find this one. I used it in a speech on child hunger during a speech class in college; helped me get an A :)

You are completely missing the point. Raising awareness of such poverty inspires those of us who are capable of feeling compassion to actually help them instead of sitting on our asses and bitching about them on the internet. If you had ever dealt with poverty you wouldn't be saying these things. You are ignorant and hateful and and I hope you realize this someday.

Are you fucking kidding me? You're looking at this kind of situation through the narrowest lens possible. Congrats on being rich enough to live in your little fantasy world, but do those of us who live in reality a favor and quit spreading your ignorance. Thanks.

@Alfrunk What a post... ye know, if you feel guilty after watching a PSA like that, then you prolly wanna donate more deep down, but something keeps stopping you. And I'm willing to bet that the welfare system is much stronger with a democratic president, than not. Though I can't prove it...

[sammy005]

@AngryLlamaz Heh, I didn't think it was worth that many thumb-downs :$. YOu raise a good question - why can't ppl in poverty do something... like adult entertainment 'till they can get on their feet? I don't mean to judge anyone, but am wondering how each case differs from every other.
