An advert for what?

MS, the NSW Police, the TV networks involved. Take your pick.

You mean cystic fibrosis. That deserves advertising. The rest donated their services.

If it's an advert for anyone it's for Make-a-Wish ... which is money well spent, when you think about it.

So no police or tv people were paid? The networks broadcast it free? Prime time? The helicopter was no cost, the police boats? Donated by... The tax payer.

The money would have been better spent on research, what do they hope to gain from the exercise?

The whole exercise was simply a 'media event'.

The whole thing.

Invented you think Yadda? I look forward to the rapture and the sifting. I really wanna see you fly.

If you truly feel that pursuing hedonism is a worthy and 'realistic' future for Australians, then perhaps you should start a movement to lobby the Commonwealth government to dispense free heroin 'hits' for people who are feeling down, and oppressed by the reality of life. ???

I think you are overdosing on heroin. This is about giving a kid who's life has been full of pain, some good things to think about the next time he's suffering in hospital. Everyone knows it's not reality, including the kid. You do realise that when people are in pain we give them pain killers? and have been doing so in some form or other for centuries, don't you?

What will you do if your kids come down with a terminal disease yadda? tell them 'tough, that's life ... deal with it", or will you perhaps try to make whats left of their life as memorable as possible.

Seriously some of you people need to get away from your computers if you think this was in any way a bad thing.

Our esteemed leader:
I hope that bitch who was running their brothels for them gets raped with a cactus.

No. It wasn't simply that at all.

But even if it was, do you really have a problem with that? A good message got out to us, us who are so bombarded with negativity.

Something nice happened. Something heartwarming. If that isn't nice, i don't know what is.

Nothing could be more truer than that!

How much does it cost for uncaring people that are wreckless with their lives, their good health, taking drugs, drinking to collapse, doing stupid dare devil stunts, driving with a car full of people, only to go out of control, kill and ruin others lives (this happened recently in Mt. Evelyn.....very upsetting situation).....with all the emphasis on trying to value life, and trying to message about respect for others, sharing the road etc.
only to have ambulance, police, fire trucks, have to utilize their services to the max for such wrecklessness?

So how much does all that cost at all times, our donations or taxes?

Simply, I am so pleased to see a positive use to "advertise" our resourses have a heart, to make aware of 'not for profit' organisations and their wonderful caring work, how fortunate the rest of us are, that are not sick to die so young.

So compared to how much our resourses are used to the max for all the other wreckless negativities of our youth that don't seem to appreciate their good health.....this heart warming event pales in significance re: any cost to all that.
