Posted - 06/06/2007 : 19:19:34 yeah they interviewed two people that have had the seizures. they say that after all the effort they put into marketing it - eg on myspace and what not they never figured out that it could give people seizures.

Haha, that's all I can see now too. It looks clearer than what it's meant to be.

I thought you were joking until i looked at the link.
Is there a clip of the commercial out there? I would love to see it.
hmmm...you know if it triggers seizures then what about people who suffer from migraines? flashing light and stuff can trigger a migraine.

Posted - 06/05/2007 : 12:38:41 Too pink. I don't like the pink. maybe too abstract for the Olympics?
ok i feel foolish. i watched the youtube clip and i realized that is supposed to be a 2012. still too pink, though.
