London 2012 ad
thanking moms will leave you misty-eyed
They say behind every
great Olympic athlete there’s a mom. Or at least they will after watching a
tear-jerker of a new commercial by Procter & Gamble designed to thank
mothers of amateur athletes (while selling some fine P & G products).
The 2012 Olympics are
still months away but already the Games have their first viral hit with this
two-minute spot entitled “Best Job.”
In the commercial, a
montage of moms around the world are shown waking up sleepy kids, making them
breakfast and bundling them off to early morning practices. A mother’s work is
never done, of course, and moms are seen doing laundry, chauffeuring their
little athletes around and watching as they train. But all the hard work pays
off when it counts.
“Being a mom is the
hardest job in the world. But it’s also the best,” states the blurb that
accompanies the video posted on YouTube, where it has already received 1.2
million hits since it was posted last week.
