Suicide Awareness Campaign Sends Multiple Messages

Well here’s some interesting commentary on stereotypes and suicide. As a hooded man approaches an elderly man who has just parked his car in a deserted rooftop parking lot, the elderly man cowers in fear the hooded man is about to mug him. Instead, the hooded man passes him by and heads for the edge of the rooftop as the elderly man realizes the ongoing scenario is much different that what he initially assumed. The spot is part of a British campaign calling attention to the fact suicide claims the lives of three men each day.
