Warning: High School Musical May Be Hazardous To Your Health
One of Popsquire’s favorite blogs, ALL OF IT, recently posted a funny story about a legal disclaimer found on the High School Musical “Sing It!” karaoke edition game for the Nintendo Wii. The disclaimer reads:
WARNING! If you have a history of epilepsy or seizures, consult a doctor before use. Certain patterns may trigger seizures with no prior history.
Although this disclaimer may seem patently silly, Popsquire has discovered that they are standard for video games — not just those involving Zac and Vanessa. As Popsquire posted a few weeks ago, the video game industry is controversial and entangled in various lawsuits.
In fact, a woman filed a lawsuit in March 2007 after her child suffered an epileptic seizure while playing Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly on a PS2 console. Spyro came with a warning about the possibility of experiencing epileptic seizures “when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights.”
For more information about epilepsy and warnings about video games, here is an informative link. And if you have an inappropriate sense of humor (like Popsquire), you might find this video funny. Warning: you also may find it highly offensive.
very interesting.
