Intense ‘Twilight’ Scene Triggers Seizure Reports

[decemberfellow]

There was an article posted  a little while back about the dangers of the flat screen tv and 3d waves this seems to be what happened here.

A local man says the latest movie in the popular ‘Twilight’ franchise triggered a seizure, and similar incidents have been reported in theaters around the country.

Brandon Gephart and Kelly Bauman said they were watching “Breaking Dawn: Part One” at a theater Friday night when Brandon sudden began convulsing during a graphic birthing scene.

Brandon said he doesn’t remember anything until he woke up on the theater floor, but Kelly said he was, “convulsing, snorting, trying to breathe.”

“He scared me big time,” she added. Paramedics transported the man to the emergency room and the theater had to cancel the rest of the movie for that showing.

Several reports on internet movie sites show reports of other people suffering similar symptoms during the same scene, which contains flashes of red, black and white. Dr. Michael G. Chez, the medical director of pediatric neurology and epilepsy for Sutter Sacramento, said the reports indicate the scene may be triggering an episode of photosensitive epilepsy.

While rare, the condition can be triggered by flashing red lights in people who are genetically predisposed.

Another experiment on the unexpecting trusting sheep.

You also can't deny the spiritually demonic components with this movie - I wonder why there's no outrage by James Dobson, Pat Robertson, and the rest of the so-called "religious right" over this?

while a popular show is on, turn away from the TV and shield the side of your head, and watch the flicker on the wall.
how is this not having an effect on people?

a ranger has to disrupt the signal of a popular show to make it stop.

"Seinfeld" is a prime example - it was about a group of mean, nasty, rotten, self-centered people. However, the show just made one big joke out of anti-social behavior, that all the laughter just drowned out all the negativity. However, the subliminal messages of anti-social behavior oozed into everyone. Remember the last episode where the entire cast filmed a car robbery for laughs and refused to help the victims? They ended up getting thrown in jail(in a "conservative" MA town), and the show ended up making the cast look like the victims. Ironically, there's been similar news stories like this over the years(ie-people getting beat up, and witnesses around them do nothing about it, even if they have a cell phone in their hands).

Seinfeld was a show about Nothing. There's a book called The Philosophy Of Seinfeld that breaks down the whole show, and how the characters are all archetypes. I agree with what the last user posted though.

i swear to God there was a recent episode, i never watch this show by the way so this demonstrates what crap it is LOL, ok Seinfeld made some "son of sam" talking dog joke that was NOT funny in the least.

anyone who lived through the son of sam murders isn't laughing.
it was one of the sickest incidents in this country.
