Yes, that is the one.
Also, I remember the filmstrip where the person falls out of the bus and dies. And the last leaf. And the one where the old woman (i think?) kept going to the mailbox every single day but nobody ever wrote her any letters, so she was all lonely and depressed. There was also this mormon ad that featured kids doing really good things, but then the jerky parents would yell at them about a non-related issue and discourage the kids. One kids runs into the house and yells that he got an A and the dad yells at him for slamming the door. A girl comes home and is proud that she did the grocery shopping and the mom says, "I hope you remembered to get everything." At the end of the commercial, the scenarios are re-run with appropriate responses. The kid slams the door in excitement, but this time the dad says, "HEY! Bring it here, Let's see it!"

Was any polling done to see which approach (death or happiness) moved more product?

One of them had a pair of fairly hot sister missionaries and the Sgt from CHiPs. Another one had a missionary flying home from his mission talking to the guy in the seat next to him on the airplane. I loved that movie....at the end of it, the missionary de-planes and meets his family. The guy he was talking to approaches the missionary, thanks him, and gives him his business card, asking him to call and teach him more. Truthfully, that isnt the part I care about. The best part is a bit of a gaffe. It was filmed at the SLC airport and there must have been a short budget for extras. During the final airport scene, there is a guy who gets off the plane...he is wearing a blue-striped rugby shirt. Throughout the final scenes, you can see him walking around in the backround, over and over, with different people. I always had to bite my lip to keep from laughing at that part when we showed that movie.

This song is responsible for me playing the guitar. Before my mission I only played keys and woodwinds. On my misison I was in an area where our DL had 'permission' to use a loaner guitar from a member to perfrom "I'll build you a rainbow" discussions. If you had a 'gator' you would call the DL and he would pop in with comp and do a live version of the song/story. It wasn't any better than the filmstrip, but it did allow him to play the guitar. He was a very good guitarist, btw. So one week I was on splits with him for a day or two and we did about three or four of these discussions, each of them moving in their own unique way. In between, he showed me how to paly a few chords and there you have it.

I think this is the one DDD is talking about when he mentions the person getting off the bus and dropping dead.

That's the guy who later went on to be Marty McFly's older brother Dave.

I remember finding that one to be very depressing. More are coming back to me......does anyone remember the one that features all these sad people that are going through some sort of tragedy......one of them is a middle aged woman and she says, "I lost my son today...he was so young..." That same line later resurfaced in the narrative portion of some LDS song...."never a better hero" or something like that.
