1. You sunabitch! I doused my keyboard!!!!

[Kailassa]

21. WARNING, this is just a STUPID PRACTICAL JOKE.

[tocqueville]

2. mmm coffee

[Brundle_Fly]

4. when i decide that i REALLY need the money-

i'm emailing that to my wealthy old aunt with the heart condition...

[Up2Late]

5. That was scary, but I think you might give someone a Heart Attack...

...if you don't give a bit more warning.

Probably belongs in the DU Lounge too.

6. How can you say it was a ghost?

Mist != ghost. Or at least not necessarily. I can think of any number of things it could be that don't require ghosts.

Maybe a leaky exhaust? (Just kiddin')

7. Spoiler--

Which I think is wholly deserved.

The shreiking figure that pops up while you are intently watching for the mist, and intently listening for the whisper, can be a cruel shock. It was to me. It isn't funny. I think it's sadistic.

8. I was never that awake before n/t

[CoffeeCat]

9. I know....and I apologize...

...to you and anyone else that has a very strong and negative reaction to it.

My husband showed this to me today--and he totally got me. I was incredibly shocked, but in the end, we did laugh about it.

I do not mean to offend anyone.

I understand and hear what you are saying DEmItAllAnyway...many could be really upset and this joke could be construed as sadistic.

I don't want to upset anyone, and if people think that it is sadistic, I will remove the post.

16. a good spook

is something we all can use every once in a while, I applaud you.

:toast:

19. No offense taken, really. I saw it earlier this week, so had my shock then

But I thought it was worth warning others. I usually enjoy being scared, but there was something about this that felt like a cheat--the elaborate setup about the ghost story & the producer's whisper to put you in the mindset that it's really true. Last year I saw something similar & got a kick out of it, but it had a lighter touch, like someone saying boo!

Oh well, JMO.

29. It wasn't totally negative for me...

It startled me and I threw off my headphones right after it happened. I yelped, too. LOL

If someone is going to post something like this I do suggest a warning considering how it was done. Something along the lines of this is not for the faint of heart or children.

Maybe reposting it would be fine, but with a warning. Even with one, I don't see how anyone could see it coming. Think about it.

[go west young man]

10. Thanks alot! I am going to go change my pants now!

[Duer 157099]

11. sorta spoiler

Hah, I watched it without sound, I guess the impact isn't the same...

good thing for me it seems

[Celeborn Skywalker]

12. Heh heh

Damn the soda went flying out of my hands on that one!

[Bill219]

14. ???

Is this the same car ad that during the election we joked about the creature being Dick Cheney?

[Celeborn Skywalker]

15. Probably so.

I didn't see it then, though.

[cynatnite]

13. Off to the hospital to restart my heart... n/t

[tocqueville]

17. is this a pre-halloween ?

perfect

[mirandapriestly]

18. Darn, I had no idea that would happen and called my kid to watch

she's freaking. That was really scary.

[CoffeeCat]

23. I'm sorry about your daughter....

I feel terrible.

I have kids myself and I understand!

I'm deleting the post immediately.

I'm sorry everyone.

[Kailassa]

20. I'm at my computer instead of at my desk because ...

I have congestive heart failure. I have already had an attack brought on by a similar piece of sadistic idiocy, and if I had clicked onto this without first reading the comments, it could well have been the last thing I ever clicked on.

If you like practical jokes that much, go home and ask your friends to play them on you, and spare us such crass and dangerous stupidity in a public forum where it is not expected.

[CoffeeCat]

22. You're totally right...

...this may be a too much for some people.

I was very scared of it, but I startle easily and have PTSD.

I thought my reaction was out of the ordinary--and I assumed that most people would be surprised and a bit scared--but find it funny.

That's not the case here, and I would never want to hurt anyone.

I used poor judgment and I wholeheartedly apologize if I harmed anyone.

I'm sorry.

Message will be deleted.

[Kailassa]

28. No Worries,

I just got a bit mad because of what happened last time I saw something like this.

I have PTSD too, it's a nuisance the way it can magnify things.
I wish you lots of happiness.

:pals:

[MarsThe Cat]

24. aunt kailassa-

how've you been...?

[Kailassa]

27. Very good, ty, ... except when I get a chance to be bad.

Nice to see my favourite puss lover here. ;-)

[parasim]

25. If you have a heart condition, I wouldn't watch this...

I've seen that one and at least one other in the series before and have often wondered if it will ever be known if they actually might have caused an actual heart attack. I know a few older folks with heart conditions where something like that could perhaps trigger one.

But who cares, right? Survival of the fittest and all that...

on edit: I see that you removed it. Good choice, in my opinion.
