The Crying Indian - full commercial - Keep America Beautiful

Wow this PSA makes me realize how old I am.

*Sniff* Mindy loved slurm.

(Futurama reference)

For a school project, I had to ask my dad an advertisement he really remembered from when he was a kid. He told me this one, and just they way he said it, I knew it was really moving. So I look it up and find this....Wow. This is haunting, I can understand how he can remember this for the past 30 years. Amen to you all :)

Iron Eyes Cody, (The Indian) was actually .. Espera Oscar DeCorti and was Italian, no Indian at all.

It's amazing how many people watch this and say it was so powerful and how moving it was but yet if it was so powerful why the hell is our planet in so much turmoil enviromentally I can tell you why People Don't Care !

Because not everyone has seen it.

i was just watching wayne's world 2 and had to explain the indian crying. so what better place than you tube to find this.

thnx 4 the vid

Great commercial. Great message. Still memorable decades later...So memorable that I searched specifically for it.

The avoidable apocalypse - total disaster with a way out: not littering.

For a commercial, or more accurately PSA, this one was sufferable - the industrial image made it tolerable.

Good message and still relevant.

Its not difficult, you just have to think of new and better ways.
