Loki, no offense, I like you a lot as a member, but it is nothing more than a ridiculously cheesy appeal to emotions, which, out of all the logical fallacies I probably hate the most, as it is deliberately dishonest unlike the rest, which tend to come from ignorance rather than deceit. Emotions have absolutely no place in conveying any information and there's no exception.

I'm personally not a "cheesy" person either, but there are some who find this valuable. Each to his own. You can look at the comments on the video on YouTube... by far most of them are very positive. Why should I not share it, because some find it too cheesy? Seems selfish...

Correct, many if not most people are easily swayed by appealing to emotions, therefore they find this and similar things valuable, but the question is: should they and is it rational to do so?

I don't think this instance is about swaying people with emotions... but rather for them to gain a deeper understanding of events that took place... to personalize it.
