Yeah, let's test *this* on real people!!

"The electronics manufacturer LG wanted to show customers just how
realistic their screens can be. What better way to do this than to scare
the living daylights out of them — and probably create a few elevator
phobias in the process– by making it look like the elevator floor was
falling out from below their feet."

IF YOU HAVE PHOBIAS ABOUT HEIGHTS AND/OR FALLING (OR FALLING FROM HEIGHTS, LOL), YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO WATCH THIS.

There are a few articles floating around calling the prank out for being faked.

Not that it should surprise anyone. The most telling evidence is at 1:26 if you look at the bottom of the hand rail you can see the reflection from a green screen.

Drat! And it looked so cool too.

Oh well ... thanks for the heads-up ...

I should add, it would have been awesome if they actually did this instead of green screening it. Either way whoever thought of it was fairly creative.

i don't see it but my monitor is a bit borked anyway so ... I wouldn't be surprised. (brightness is stuck at full )

I wasn't convinced. I figured it must be actors. Mainly cos the just walked calmly out afterwards. Also no one swore or screamed - just mild suprise.

And it was an advert - anything in an advert should be taken with a pinch of salt. I bet LG won't replace their monitors if you walk on them!

http://screen.yahoo.com/lg-viral-ele...-30937825.html - this video points out some of the issues rather nicely. It also happens to talk about one of the other "check it out" stories: the woman fired from Arby's for fleeing a robber.
