Yesterday, was hopefully a happy day with your Dad or loved ones, but if you were one of the many watching TV last night you might have seen this PSA .

A realtor closing on a new house says to the family  ”I’m sure you’ll have many happy years here, Except for you (dad) because you’ll be gone three years from now. Struck down by the same disease that got your father,” the family just stares awestruck.

The new ads made by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) hope to get more men to the doctor for treatable diseases.  We are not new to shocking ads, but have these ads gone to far by putting a damper on a usually blissful holiday? OR do the ads use the popular holiday to its advantage to hopefully  get dads to the doc?
