Suicide is a major problem throughout the world. It's quite understandable (and logical) that this video would upset or enrage many viewers; especially those who have relations to someone who has committed or attempted to commit suicide. I personally find this video to be amusing in the sense that the guy that was going to "jump" was being equally as dramatic as the man trying to persuade him not to do so. Putting aside the awkward (and slightly annoying) noises and vocals, the video did have an emotional connection up until the end. Many (including myself) have never dealt with a loved one attempting suicide (NOT meaning to imply that it is something that should be experienced). How does this video's comedic play on a serious and emotional problem make you feel? The message portrayed in this video is that a lot of people threaten to commit suicide but, even after upsetting all of their closest friends and family, end up either backing out in the end or never planned on actually doing it in the first place (only wanting attention). What are your thoughts on this video and it's painfully delivered message? Were you concerned at all for the man about to lose his closest friend?.. Or maybe for the man who had been previously thought to have given up on life? What did you think of the ending? Did it surprise you at all? On the subject of something as serious as suicide, I never expected an ending such as this one.

This video was not intended to upset any fellow classmates and I apologize if any were offended during the presentation of this blog.
While suicide is not really something to joke about, I am ok with the video. In a sense this video has a point, while some people seem truly intent on suicide, sometimes it is just for attention that person felt they could only get by doing that. It’s the same with people who cut themselves, it is all for attention, or it seems to be. I was concerned for both of them. As soon as I saw who did the video I was not all that surprised at the ending.
This video's got an important message behind it, but I didn't like how it was trying to make a very serious situation funny. My thoughts on this video are very mixed, in a way. I'm glad the guy didn't jump or anything, but it makes me sad, because I've had to talk my friends out of suicide plenty of times. In my opinion, no one should ever want their life to be over. Everyone has their moments when they feel that they aren't important enough in the world anymore. They just need comfort and hope that their life will get better. I was concerned for the both of them. The man about to lose his closest friend, it's hard to deal with. The guy that almost jumped, he just needed a little more love, support, and comfort. The ending made me happy that he didn't end his life. It did surprise me, because of them making a very serious matter funny. Suicide is nothing to mess around with.
This video did not upset me for making suicide seem comical. However, suicide is a very serious issue in today's society. I was expecting this video to be sad. The weird language and accent were definitely unexpected. The man who didn't want to lose his friend was acting sad, but he still seemed comical. I think the man who was suicidal only said one line in the whole video. The ending of the video was hysterical and surprising.
No one I know has ever committed suicide. I do think some people say they are going to commit suicide just for the attention. Although the video was funny, suicide is a big problem in society today. I did feel bad for the friend who was saddened at the thought of loosing his friend. I never thought the ending would go as it did. It was quite the shock.
I don't think it's funny at all when it comes to suicide. The suicide rate has been climbing higher and higher. The people wanting to take their own lives don't want attention. I think they just really need someone in their life to be there for them. You never know what someone is going through. There have been kids our age or younger going through depression without telling people, though. It's just really sad to see things like this happen to people. I think the main reason for suicide is bullying and depression.
This video was interesting. I know it was suppose to be about the seriousness suicide but that ending and the sound effects were funny. I was a little concerned for man about to lose his closest friend. The ending was funny. I was surprised because I did not think he meant he literally was gonna "jump".

I really don't understand the video. I mean the fact that it is in a different language confuses me. I don't get how it is amusing but others in the class seem to. My thoughts are scattered on this video. I was not concerned for either man in the video. One reason is because I do not understand why anyone would make a video like this. I think the ending is weird. It surprised me a little bit.
I really do not know how I felt when this movie started. Well I know these thoughts cross people's minds everyday. Well at first I did not really think he was going to jump. Well the ending was very hilarious because he just jumped in the air, and did not jump off the edge. This ending caught me off guard.
I agree suicide is a major problem around the world. This video on suicide is something I've never seen before. My thoughts are mixed on this video like I think it's funny but what if someone on Youtube watched the video was really going to commit suicide? I definitely have to say this is another one of Caleb's videos that leave me with nothing to say.

Suicide is a major problem in the United States. My thoughts on this video was that it was pretty funny. I was concerned for the man losing his closest friend. I think the ending was very legitimate. The expertise just blow me away. The creativity was of excellence. The narrow sarcasm just did it all for me!
Suicide is a major problem throughout the world. This video would probably upset many viewers that have experienced suicide in their family. I do think that the way they made the video and tried to get the message across not to commit suicide was very creative. During the video, there were times when I thought that the man was actually going to jump. This video does make you think about all the people who commit suicide. The ending did surprise me and I was not expecting it.
Even though this was a serious blog, it was funny at the same time. I have never experience anyone in my family that's close to me commit suicide. I really don't get the point of killing yourself. I mean I wish that people who kill there self think about how it affects our family !
