I musdt admit they are much better than anything we have in the US (which is nothing), but they do kind of make seem like those people are just having an asthma attack. Especially the one with the kid brushing his teeth, I don't get short of breath brushing my teeth. They should show somebody trying to make it up the stairs. I could have been in a commercial like that just last week!

This is for the thread about being called a "CFer." I've always loved that name, although I understand the "cancerer" comment. I think it's because I've enjoyed being a "camper" or "backpacker" or "hiker" from time to time, and it's felt like just another activity I carry around with me. I still feel like a hiker even when I'm not hiking, because it's something about me, if you see what I mean.
It seems like a personal choice, and I agree with Brad that it's only me (and maybe my family) and others with CF who could do it. Kind of like jokingly referring to myself as "queer." If other people do it, it's homophobia!

Here's a moldy one from the 80s. Celin Dion's neice had CF, but has since passed on. She's a huge spokesperson for CF.

I also found a couple of their print ads as well - the ones that usually are posted on bus shacks.

Ok I understand the importance of ads but I did not like them. Personally the deflating thing really freaked me out. i didn't think it got any point across. I agree about the laundry thing, but it looked like she was having an asthma attack and then just deflated. It felt creepy to me and didn't really get much across about what CF is or all the things we must do for it.
I liked the birthday one also. I wish they would do one, however, that shows all the things we do, the medications and treatments.
But I know these will raise more money so that is good i guess
