A friend of mine ran through a glass movable door, he got some injuries and ended up in the hospital. Sounds stupid but adding a sticker to the glass could save you from this kind of accidents. Lame from your part maybe if it happens to you, but it can get very serious. So i don´t think this is the kind of thing you laugh at, also the ad isn´t that bad.
I kind of get why this could be funny to people. That said, there are a lot of people, especially but not exclusively older people, and people with compromised eyesight, who have been horribly injured or killed because of the problem she's addressing. Also, Della Reese is an amazing badass singer. Kind of killed the comedy for me. But I'm a heartless asshole and should maybe be ignored. Regardless, love you EIT.
Recently, a neighbor walked through a plate glass window at a bank and was HORRIBLY cut up and on crutches. We all had a good laugh about it. It's an inherently funny injury. "I walked into a glass door" ha ha "...and it nearly fucking killed me!" HA HA HA!
My father walked through a screen. Ripped through the screen, cracked 2 corners and the frame fell out of the track all lopsided. He was pissed. This was over 5 years ago. Still hasn't fixed it.
I think the joke is seeing a big fat oblivious lady barge through a window like the Kool-Aid Man. After the initial chuckle, you realize she almost bled to death and is a respectable singer.

ReplyDeleteWhere are you?!?!?!
We don't have to look at this as a joke; look at it as a preservation of the warning. I mean, I'd never heard about this potential danger before now.
ReplyDeleteall sliding glass doors since the 90s have been made of tempered glass so they dont shatter (unless you truck it)
ReplyDeleteThis video disturbed me, so much so I've decided to make a film.
ReplyDeleteA Plate glass Window Named Desire
There will be a single word spoken during it, DELLLLLA! DELLLLLLLLLLLLLLA!
yeah, a lot of people may be too young to remember that this was a real issue. I remember those stickers growing up.
