00:00 Danish TV commercial titled "All That We Share" challenges our thoughts on the

00:04 things that divide us. And with everything going on in today's world

00:07 between Trump and Trump, this video just gives me a lot of feels. Like you just

00:14 realized while we all might seem different, we're all really just the same.

00:18 In the video, Danes step into boxes which denote categories. The high earners,

00:23 those getting by, those we avoid versus those we trust. Then they're asked some

00:27 honest questions about who they are and that's when everyone starts stepping

00:30 outside the box. We've got the class clowns.

00:34 We've got people who've seen UFOs, people who have been bullied, those who have

00:42 bullied, step-parents, people who believe in life after death, which invariably

00:46 blends the crowd and draws on their similarities and sends a powerful message

00:50 about our differences. But then of course YouTube commenters have to go and ruin

00:54 the good vibes. Shane posts "Denmark doesn't have black people" and Andreas

00:58 comments "Almost none. I personally only know two black people." Then Alice Bonet

01:02 adds "Where are the black people? Couldn't find one?" And while yes, we could pick out

01:05 what is wrong about this video, but I'd rather just focus on what is right. And a

01:10 lot of people seem to agree, like Mashable who included this in their

01:13 headline. "This Danish ad may be the best antidote to Trump." And The Huffington

01:17 Post who says "This Danish TV ad is what the world needs to remember now more

01:21 than ever." So what did you think of this commercial? Let us know in the comments
