A Super Bowl ad showing Christopher Reeve walking in a computer-enhanced ad draws praise and criticism - Brief Article

In the ad for Nuveen Investments, the actor, who was paralyzed in 1995, gets up from his chair and walks. Thomas Countee, executive director of the National Spinal Cord Injury Association said the ad may have inspired too much hope. He said they received many phone calls wanting to know where Mr. Reeve went to get cured. A spokesman for Nuveen said the point of the ad was to inspire people to think about the impact money can have on the future.
