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.

I was able to see a clip of the commercial on the Today Show. It was very colorful and busy.
Maybe I will grin but I won’t bear

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.

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.
