there is a cheerios commercial i've seen on tv recently that makes me cry every single time. it's about a couple picking up two kids they are adopting in another country. they bond with them on the plane by making pictures out of cheerios on the tray tables. they really did make me cry into my cheerios. i'm a mess.
I totally thought it was pot in the bag. Then I realized it was just a sappy hallmark commercial and was all "SCREW YOU SAPPY MANIPULATIVE COMMERCIAL!" ... and then I cried anyhow. Bastards.
I think this ad is a pretty definitive test to see if you have kids. I have become such a complete fucking sap since the boys were born. You know that old M&M's ad where there are two kids dressed up as chicks for Easter, and one says, "T'anks, East' Bunny!" and the other says, "Bawk, bawk?" Gone, every time.
omg. i'm crying too. you bastard

I KNOW! I kept thinking the card was going to reveal everything to be some fucked up comedy sketch by some low-rent comedy troop.

Crying for reals... But then again, I'm a total sap these days. Also was waiting for some horrible twist (and hoping it wouldn't come).

I thought she was going to pull out a pipe or a gun from his bag! What's wrong with us?

You think that's bad. When she pulled the blackened banana out of his bag, I thought it was a dildo.

Blackened banana? I thought it was a stick. And, the first time I viewed it I thought it was a rolled up baggy of pot.

Great, so now I'm at least laughing through the tears.

When did Hallmark start commissioning movies-of-the-week to be used as commercials? I fell asleep during the second act!

I swore she was going to pull out a pipe and then it was going to devolve into one of those DARE commercials. That would have been better.
