CH is just as dibilitating as any other catastophic disease. We need to sell people on the idea that this is just as serious as cancer and aids. I wrote the commercial for two reasons ( ask drummer, I always try to do twofers as it doubles my output with half the time involved) I made it for us, so that you know I take this deadly serious. I also made it as a platform to begin the debate on how best to distill a life of pain and destruction that is caused by CH. As in the commercial, no one will take us seriously until it is too late to help unless they can get an understanding of the disease.
The second reason I made this was to create a work site for the creation of a commercial. We need to get past the "gee whiz" stage of what we should have available and make it happen. Someone needs to get the ball rolling. Rewrite and make it more horrible to the average person. Have fun and fight back a CH.
Personal Opinion-leave out graphic descriptions of the pain. If you notice I purposely keyed in on the outward signs of Bills headaches. Things that people can see and understand are good, they WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE PAIN!!. They can understand the devestation and they will respond when they understand how serious it is. The pain isn't the problem, It is the mental torture.
So let's go. We gotta move. Let's get the show on the road.
