WTF! This is supposed to be funny?

[Nuclear Unicorn]

I was literally in tears for these poor people and the terror they were feeling but apparently this is what passes for entertainment/advertising.

FUCK! This world is hopeless when this level of cruelty is entertainment for others.

[jakeXT]

1. Not the first ones

[bunnies]

2. Thats fucking horrible.

The same point could have been made without scaring the SHIT out of people. Raining flowers would have been nice. I'd be bullshit if someone did that to me.

[LeftofObama]

3. I couldn't believe it either!

WTF is so funny about scaring the living crap out of people? It's just plain mean!

[seabeyond]

4. i laugh at a lotta lotta stuff. kids think i am odd. but i was about horrified watching these

peoples reactions. at the end, the people did not think funny either.

5. Psychologically I can't see the difference between this and faking their execution

This is simply abhorrent.

[quinnox]

6. that is sadism

sadly, some twisted people get off on this stuff.

7. After 9/11, would anyone consider this acceptable humor? nt

[JI7]

8. not funny at all, but this is an ad for the TV ?

were those people really fooled or acting ?

[Nuclear Unicorn]

9. Yep.

[JI7]

13. but were they reall fooled ?

or are they acting ?

[MicaelS]

10. I would sue those bastards for a billion dollars!

Just another reminder why I hate advertising and ad people with a passion. It takes a sick fucking mind to even come up with this concept, much less put it into reality.

11. Is this in Mexico? I remember their version of "TV Bloopers and practical jokes" was brutal

Once they had this starlet taped while she went to the bank, then they pretended the bank was robbed. She was held at gun point, told to lie on the floor and threatened to be killed....then they all laughed and told her it was a "Joke". She was furious and insulted them. so they said she was a humorless bitch

19. Thanks! nt

12. What if they injured themselves trying to escape?

What if they injured themselves trying to escape?

Those had to be actors; what if someone had a heart attack or broke their leg trying to escape? I don't think that would be too funny.

22. Thank you. Sanity.

[Jefferson23]

14. This may be the most irreponsible advertising I have ever seen..sad comentary too.

They sign off with, Life is good. Buy this TV and you can watch the world blow itself up, in HD King size.

[ZombieHorde]

15. I would love for someone to do that to me.

I think I might learn something about myself.

[tblue37]

16. At least the guy with the beard told them off

and refused to treat it as a cool gag.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

18. Um...

It's a fekking commercial. It's not real.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

20. If the people were actors, fine; but it's billed as a reality show prank

that LG sponsored to pitch their new line of TVs.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

21. I have doubts that any corporation would be so stupid

as to prank people for a commercial and open themselves up for a civil suit.

What if somebody hurts themselves falling out of a chair, bangs their head, has a heart attack...wets themselves?

Lawsuits don't only happen in the US.


Haven't you ever watched staged commercials before that looked like they were god-honest real?

It's all fake. It's all bullshit. It's advertising.


Actors are paid to make it look real or to fool others into believing it is real.


Think.

[X_Digger]

23. We're talking about it- ad dollars well spent, apparently. n/t

[gopiscrap]

24. Not funny at all!
