Well, if any video is going to move you to tears at your desk today, it might be this spectacular, poignant montage from Radiolab and NPR called "Words."
We don't want to ruin its magic with too much explanation, but we'll say it gets more and more rewarding with repeat views -- you'll understand why.
Even P. Diddy's a fan; how could it not be The One? Thanks, Molly!

This just goes to show that just because someone labes a video "Viral" does not make it good, or viral.

If it doesn't explain itself in one viewing, don't expect someone to keep hitting the replay button. That was 3+ minutes of my life I'll never get back.

This was intriguing and beautiful, but it certainly didn't move me to tears. In fact, I found it rather joyous :)

I don't know how much 3 minutes of my life is worth, but whatever it is, I'm getting a lawyer and suing these people for it, plus a little more for pain and suffering.

Tears of what? Boredom? Yeah 3 minutes of my life wasted for sure. I kept wondering when the good part was coming or when it would be over.

If you thought it sucked, then you obviously didn't get it. It was quite beautiful to see how a word has so many different - positive and negative - connotations. It's called symbolism....metaphors....

Yes, it was full of meaning and symbolism, but I wasn't moved to tears. I already know that all of those words have multiple meanings. Was it clever? Yes. Did it make me cry? No. Then again, it does say that happens with multiple views so maybe I just need to watch it again???
