Imagine what it’s like to forget how to do what you’ve always done and known. To have your mind playing tricks on you every day. Imagine not remembering where you parked your car, or worse still, not remembering who your wife or husband is.

It’s a terrible feeling, which creates a lot of anxiety, confusion and frustration, to say the least. It’s Alzheimer’s, and unfortunately is often diagnosed much later than need be. To raise awareness of Alzheimer’s signs and stages, Colenso BDDO Auckland have brought to life the way that Alzheimer’s works, through a series of Candid Camera style tv ads.

Car - Alzheimer's Disease Commercial

  • Just so as you know...

    ...my mother had a friend who had two sisters. One by one all three got, & subsequently died of, Alzheimer’s disease.

    It is an inherited disease & not a nice way to go when you don't know from one second or minute to the next who you're talking to, for example.

    It's very frustrating for the sufferer too initially but as the disease progresses even the ability to feel frustrated is taken from them & they just become a vegetable.

    Dignity goes out the window & it's one of the worst way to end up dying. My father died from MS so I know what I'm talking about in terms of debilitating diseases.

    I don't like the candid camera approach to this disease seen here. We all like a laugh but I don't think this is the proper way to do an awareness campaign.

    Just MHO.

    I appreciate your efforts in putting up videos but please don't do any more of this type. It's just NOT funny & it's painful to watch.


    Thanks,

    • This was not meant to be funny.

      Nor was it meant to poke fun at people that have the disease.
      What it does do is make the rest of us aware of what it is like to have the disease.

    • i'm gonna be different...

      I disagree... I can understand how one could be easily offended by this ad, but I think that by beginning with a light hearted approach the ad really connects with the average viewer. Then when it gives you a serious message, it has a much greater affect.

      I didn't fine this ad funny, but I found it extremely effective at raising awareness.

    • i disagree

      Whatever it is, this is not the way to create awareness by making someone feel lost. The laughs in the ad for the serious situation is totally Crap.

    • i agree

      i agree with you. i took care of my grandmother for 10 years. alzheimers is no joke. this video doesnt really explain the disease the right way.
      i watched my grandma wither away to about 65 pounds. i can go into lots of details but i'll spare yall the nightmares you would suffer.

  • Stupid Way

    Stupid Way to make someone aware of a disease.This qualifies to be a PRANK video, a harmless joke to raise a laugh. Any normal person will also look confused and bewildered in such a situatuion, unless he or she has seen prank videos like these on the net. Only a perverted mind can can relate this to a disease, a helpless condition that leads to pitiable situations for a person. This video-creator is quite likely to record a rape video for creating awareness about abortion; or, show chid-abuse video to create awareness about child safety. I APPEAL TO METACAFE MEMBERS TO SUPPORT A BAN OF SUCH VIDEOS. Please resond.

  • Look of Desperation

    In the first place, my mother died of Alzheimer's disease and never, at any time, did she become a vegetable--human beings cannot turn into vegetables. They maintain their humanity and dignity to their last breath. I very much dislike that term in reference to anyone. What I found most moving in the commercial was the look of bewilderment in the woman's face. I've seen that look in my mother eyes. It's heart rending, especially as it increases, reaches its apex and then declines as awareness declines. I did not find the commercial offensive. Awareness can lead to more research. May God lead us to a cure.

    i dont know that alzheimer is that bad

    By afifisa 1221768104 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • well

      it's not bad at first. you start forgetting minor things like where you put something or what you just said. But then in a couple months you start forgetting names. Where you are, what you did, or even who you are. Usually, in the final stage of alzheimer's, the person ends up dieing because they forget how to breathe. THe brain completely wipes itself out of any sort of memory, even if it is something as basic as breathing.

      That's how bad it can get.

      By iAsian 1221878429 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Did you just say they forget to breathe?

      Did you know that we breathe UNSCOUNSCIOUS? If it's up to us we would forget to breathe even without Alzheimer's disease when we're doing something very important.

      By IO.com 1221942887 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Yes, breathing is an unconscious functio...

      But as the death of brain cells progresses, the non-vital functions are sacrificed as the basic vital functions keep getting shifted to undamaged portions of the brain. Eventually, as sections become isolated, and others die, the brain "runs out of space," and the person runs out of time. :(

    • wow

      so, how to avoid this disease...? i don't want my mom to suffer this... is there any medication?

      By afifisa 1221879859 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • there's no real medication yet

      The best we can do is just to keep our brains in use as long as possible. It's been shown that doing things like simple arithmatics and games like Brain Age can help reduce the risk of alzheimers or slow it down.

  • Clever ad

    Unfortunately, shock therapy and humour are the only things that people who do not suffer from disease understand.

  • Mean

    Very mean and not nice at all, there are far better ways to get the point across then this kind of very mean and not so funny humor. The laugh track was even more insulting. So I give it 1 star

  • Not Funny!

    I thought this was interesting until the end when I was told about how Alsheimer's disease affects people. Then I thought it was in bad taste because my father's mother died from it.

    Not cool, dudes. Not cool.

  • youve touched me

    Those comments have really touched me. Thou I havent really came across someone who suffers from the disaese, from those comments I can relate it to a disease which I nursed my brother but watched him pass on in my hands. He had an accident(car accident) and his brains were internally damaged. This led to internal bleeding which paralysed his right body side. Everytime I saw him, I thought he was getting better but in real he was deteroriating health wise. He finally passed on and I must admit this was the most painful moment in my life, taking into consideration that he was under my care til the time of his demise.
