You should re-post this in a thread of it's own.
It doesn't belong in the joke thread.

Agree its not a joke, it IS a powerful message about the power of words, I enjoyed it, thanks Shallotman.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Hmm! Not quite the adjective I'd use to describe the sight/plight of a blind person reduced to begging.

I assume the whole film is a fake; see the comment below the clip:

"There's none so blind as those who just won't see."
I can't remember who said/sung this (I think it was Dylan) but it seems very apposite.
It is an advert, yes.
It does not say all blind people are beggars.
"It does what it says on the tin", it shows the power of words.

If it was a newspaper or TV advert, it wouldn't last beyond its first appearance (and rightly so).
