Cheerleading Pop PSA Makes Us Say, 'Let's Go Dad!'
Filed under: Media, Amazing Kids
Sometimes dads tend to get a little shortchanged on the parenting front. Moms might get more attention, but we don't dare deny the power of a proud and present pop.
So, in honor of Father's Day this Sunday, we share this 2008 Public Service Announcement campaign from the Ad Council, the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse and volunteer ad agency Campbell-Ewald. (Here are more PSAs from the campaign.)
"The smallest moments can have the biggest impact on a child's life," the narrator says. "Take time to be a dad today."
And, really, a dad who will repeatedly chant, "Oh, those boys are much too much, those boys are much too much" deserves a few cheers of his own.

(Here are more PSAs from the campaign.) My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at agegaplove.com a nice and free place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

Pat said...I am 62 years old and my dad just turned 90. He was a very strong father, sometimes to the point of driving me nuts. But I never took crap from any man in my life - except maybe my son - and I give him credit for that. Fathers are as important to daughters as they are to sons, if not more. Thanks Daddy!!!

CHRISTIE said...My husband and I have one daughter that is 14 now, but when she was in 2nd grade her cheerleading coach quit in the middle of the season and just never showed up again. The girls were not allowed to take the field without a coach. There were probably 15 other moms there besideds me ( I was unable to help because of health issues) but my husband was the one who took the field with the girls leading them across the field so that they could continue cheering at all the games. Now, (picture this) my husband is a 6' , 200lbs construction worker with a big belly. The girls just loved him and I was so so proud that my daughter has such a great Daddy!
