Ultra Reality: What would you do in this situation?

11 years ago

LMAO - that's all we need is another really intense interview trick. Surefire answer to the question "how will they handle an emergency".

Funny.

Thanks

Hmmmm, cruel b*****. Funny, but not for some of them! :rolleyes:

I have to admit l have seem this tv up close, and eventhough it displays impressive detail, you can still tell it is a tv image.

So, some might be able to suss it out? I think that when it strikes with no vibrations in the room, some might think that it is a c*****.

Should have shot one or two of the organizers, then it would have been more funny! :rolleyes:

Unless one of them had a heart attack, then it wouldn't have been funny at all.

  I'm afraid someone would have been punched in the face.
  
  I don't think I would have run...but I would have thought it was the end.
  
  And when I didn't die, I would think "My wife and son are dead. Why am I not dead."
  
  And then the "punching in the face" would have started.
  
  It wasn't funny to me at all.

That doesn't prove ANYTHING! What is the correct action? Answer? THERE ISN'T ONE!

Yeah, what would the point in running be? I would likely have ben hurt badly before I could exit the building. I WOULD be very angry though!

Did anyone else notice that most of the organizers were young?

No doubt the same ones that would organize a drinking, etc contest with a death or two at the end?

I agree with Claude on this one, tie the youngest, dumbest ones to some chairs and teach them some manners!!!! :rolleyes:

Shane; My anger would have subsided long before any "torture" would have commenced..

But I can see myself screaming "You made me think my family was dead! As a joke!", and I would end up spending some time in jail.

I'm not trying to be macho here. I really think that's how I would react.

Years ago, I had every reason to think I was going to die one night, in a hospital. My wife was there. I was calm, and spent my time telling my wife where the insurance policies were, how to get the money, and how to conserve it...along with what to do with my library of marketing books.

So I know how I would react to the thought that I was going to die in a few seconds. It's far worse to think that your family is dead.

Thinking it's funny to convince another person that they are going to die?
I don't understand what makes that person tick.

Yep, point taken, l was thinking about putting some of these relatively dumb ones, onto a window cleaning platform for a day or so, in high winds preferably, and say, it will be fun!!!!

Obviously they will have safety ropes, etc, and maybe leave a note somewhere saying this platform is faulty, and shouldn't be used.

I am sure if these a***** went through what some of these people went through they might grow up a notch or two. As you are saying when it went dark, some or most would be seriously scared for themselves and family's.

That part wasn't funny at all, just dumb.

This is one of the reasons society is so f*** up, we give responsibility to 24 year old's, that have grand ideas and zero experience.

Grand ideas are fine, but with no experience, it can end up with a stupid solution and a lot of taxpayers money down the drain, or even a life!

Saving money may play a part in this, but it doesn't help.

If I ever see this happen, mabe I should pick up the largest PC they have, declare that it needs to be cooled quickly because a bright heat source is coming, and throw it through the "window". If we are bombed, NO HARM DONE! We're DEAD! If it is a joke, they have one more damaged TV! LUCKILY, CRTs and Plasma are pretty much HISTORY. SO HEY! Take a SLEDGEHAMMER to it! Throw them if you have them! I doubt there is a jury in the world that would convict me. HECK, my aorta may sustain some damage just because of the pressure from this ploy. And I would be HAPPY to reimburse them for the
TV if they reimburse me for all the hassles up to then created by such garbage.

I suppose it's just a presumption that these were just random people plucked from off the street?

Me thinks it is all an advertisement designed to keep viewers attention, then sell the LG Ultra. The supposed interviewees are all actors.

And it will go viral, if it hasn't already.

Yeah, I`m sure the TV is real nice but the whole thing looks 3d animation.
