Facetime, good or bad?

I just saw this commerical for iPhone 4's facetime feature. Is it just me or doesn't it sort of have the opposite effect?
In the commericals (there are a dozen of them) the facetime feature is supposed to be a very useful thing and keep people connected, since they can see each other basically whenever and wherever. I on the other hand find the commercials really sad.

Rather than thinking they are lucky to have an iPhone 4 I think it's almost tragic that the father is not with them (the mother and son) on his sons's school play or whatever. Why isn't he there? He should be there, but no he's stuck at work and then the Apple people got the nerve to make them still look like a happy family smiling and making faces.

And have you guys seen the one with a woman talking to her mother while trying on her wedding dress?That one is almost even worse. Why isn't the mother able to meet her daughter in real life to see her in the wedding dress?! Why? It's horrible!

Am I the only one who think it's sad?

Whatever,
Tiffany
