It rarely stops

No silly headline for this PSA. No sarcastic critique. Just personal tears and professional awe:

Thank you, Y&R Chicago and Copyranter, for showing us the power of pure social marketing today. But what’s with the coalition’s name? That can’t be right.

POSTSCRIPT: Kate Hill, from Y&R Chicago, wrote in to say that the name of the client is actually National Domestic Violence Hotline. The advertiser, link, and embedded video have been corrected.

Credits after break.

Hello Tom,
I work with Y&R;Chicago around many of their pro-bono campaigns; you are correct that the title of the organization isn’t right. This PSA is for the National Domestic Violence Hotline (http://www.thehotline.org). The correctly labeled video can be viewed here:
