I can see how some people think it is cool, but I'm the only one creeped out by this? I'm probably weird and I'm not sure I can explain it rationally, but if my parents had done something like this I'm not sure I'd be too amused. Maybe it is just too cheesy for my taste. (And obviously I don't mean just the act of going and publishing it in an ad, I'm assuming the whole illustration of the idea is fabricated.)

Wouldn't it be nice to have some concept of interacting with them as an adult? What if a house fire or flood destroyed the home videos and photo albums of your youth?

  > What if one of your parents passed away while you were young? Actually one of my parents did pass away while I was relatively young, but my family history is 'unconventional' to say the least, that might be why I'm weird and seem to have a different reaction from other people, or it might be something else completely, I don't know, was just expressing my feeling about it. > Wouldn't it be nice to have some concept of interacting with them as an adult? Maybe, but it is much more complicated than that. > What if a house fire or flood destroyed the home videos and photo albums of your youth? I do not keep any such things, again I guess I'm weird, but I'm at least somewhat happy about thins being this way. And yes, I do realize that keeping such thing just gives me the option to look at it or not, still it feels creepy to me.

    No offense, but it's more creepy that you find sharing happy childhood memories to be creepy.

How is this different from photo albums and letters written to children stored in a box somewhere? I know my mom has an inordinate amount of childhood paraphernalia stashed away somewhere. I could see it being a touching gift to give to your child later on in life.

  I have 9 siblings and my mom had at least one box for each of us with stuff. When I got married my mom gave the box to my wife. :/

I do find the part where he uploaded videos of his daughter to YouTube to be a bit disturbing.
