I was recently on Pinterest (well, I'm on there a lot... I admit it...) but anyways, I came across this picture. So we've all seen the ASPCA commercials on tv and we all know Sarah McLachlan's song In the Arms of an Angel. When I hear this song, even if I'm not watching the tv and my roommates are, I instantly make them change the channel because the commercial is so depressing to see all the helpless animals to have been neglected or abused. I know, you are probably thinking "I don't really care about your opinion" or "Really?! You just had to mention that depressing commercial?!" Yea, I decided to take a stand and say REALLY?! I loved that song and now I can't even listen to it without thinking of such a depressing issue. Now I'm not against the ASPCA in any manner, I just want to say there are other ways to get the word out about your foundation without scaring the minds of children and adults. Can't the ASPCA come up with another way to publicize their foundation? I mean really, my roommate (who I will not name because she is already mad I made a joke about her on facebook... oooopps) she literally cries every time the commercial is on. And even though they have come up with new commercials that do not involve this song, this commercial has played so many times that it has become a part of our generations' culture and we all imagine the sick dying animals every time we hear it. So way to go Sarah McLachlan, you revived your career by making me think about helpless animals.... Now I can never listen to your music again.
So we all know that there are commercials or tv moments that help define our generations, they could be this commercial, Obama becoming president, 9-11, Madonna's halftime show, Justin and Janet Jackson's halftime show, or who knows what else... If you read this, leave me a comment of what you think is a public moment that you will always remember and will define our generations.
