Samsung announces 3D TV do nots
TV MAKER Samsung has released a list of precautions aimed at preserving the health of its 3D television viewers.
Confusingly the list includes the suggestion that drunks should not watch 3D telly, we say confusingly since Samsung has installed a number of its screens in pubs across the UK, and surely someone at the firm knows what happens in a pub, right?
Pregnant women should not be allowed to watch 3D television either, nor should the elderly. We don't know why, maybe Samsung has some sort of beef with them. We'd have to ask their grandmothers.
3D TVs actually look as appealing to have in the home as that West couple, and prospective buyers are warned that they could make them sick, disorient them to the extent that they fall downstairs, could confuse them, and could lead to nausea and muscle twitching.
It's not all don'ts, however, as Samsung has suggested a couple of tips for improving the 3D TV viewing experience.
This is our favourite, "To watch in 3D mode you need to put the 3D glasses on and press the power button on top of the glasses."
You might want to keep a bucket handy, too. µ

What Bar owner is going to pass out 10+ pairs of 3D glasses which cost £90 a pop to a bunch of strangers who will be drinking all night?
No prizes for guessing how many pairs go missing or get broken in the first week!
I already experienced that TV makes me sick and nauseous and causes jaw tensioning, for years now, so is it worse with a 3D one? Or what?
So if I buy this newfangled doodad, spending wodges of my hard-earned cash on this thingamajig because the TV told me to, I will have introduced an expensive high-tech toy that can
1) make me sick,
2) fall down stairs and break my neck
3) confuse me (into stepping out my window ?)
4) make pregnant women abort ?
5) cause epilepsy
Dear Lord, does anyone need another reason to refrain from buying this useless gimmick ?
I belive that this 3d tv hype is nothing but a desperate attempt to "force" the public into buying something utterly unnecessary.
It's nice to go to a movie and watch a 3d film once in a while (and getting sick watching it) but I'll NEVER, EVER in my life come into my house and put a STUPID glass in my face to watch some mexican dramas or the news. In fact, just by forcing the camera's point of view (and FOCUS) on the user, causes irritation in the eyes... imagine what watching mexican dramas in 3d will cause.
We want confort, not some nausa inducing gimmick... so, either this people relase all 3d tvs in a form which we don't have to wear those stupid glasses (as it already exists, or the can take thoses glasses and shove up theirs collective asses.
