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.)

What if one of your parents passed away while you were young? 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?
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.

Maybe, but it is much more complicated than that.

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.
