a super bowl commercial from i believe 2000 that showcases a what if scenario of the closest thing God has let us have to a real life superman Christopher Reeve walking again after his horse named buck quite literally did a stoppie and threw him in a way that detached his skull from his spine, leaving him paralyzed from the c2 vertebra down for the remaining 9 years of his life. knowing how much of a magical human being he was and what happened in 2004...this hits the heart hard.
Well…yeah. There is still massive advancements through medical healing via stem cell research, but when certain parties choose to target not only the health administrations that search for these advancements, as well as the means of getting these stem cells, it has no choice but to become a “lying ass ad”, as you so maturely phrased it.
I just thought of something hilarious. So in the year 2000, they were able to do this, make the REAL superman walk again and make it look nearly perfect. But try to hide henry cavill's mustache 16 years later? Nope!
mkay...and what the hell does Jeffrey Epstein and the 47th President laughing their asses off in 1992 have ANYTHING to do with Christopher Reeve, spinal reconstruction research, or superman?
Knew what it was from the first second. Still hits hard.
What is this?

the horse's name was Buck?! oh man, I didn't know that
False hope... No pun intended

There's no money in keeping people healthy. 🤷🏾♂️
what the fuck are you on about
I miss American optimism.
This isn't optimism, it's peak capitalism. It's the most dystopian shit I've ever seen. Preying on people's hope to shill a product.
The ad agency didn't see it that way. Neither did the director or Chris Reeves.
Y'all think these ads just come out of the anus of all the bad companies like there's some white dude in a golden chair making these decisions. Nah.
SOURCE: I work in advertising.
Ahh, so YOU'RE the white dude in the golden chair.
Get him boys!!
Optimism through capitalism, you can’t deny people who understand degrees. Financial authoritarianism sounds waaaaay more dystopian.
Would be nice if true.
An investment company?

I wonder if insurance covers that?
Corporate greed enters the chat
Was that the Asian lady from the Freaky Friday remake I saw in that ad?
