Samsung Says Don’t Use 3D While Pregnant, Tired, or Drunk

[Darth Waller]

From High-Def Digest:

So when you’ve got your friends over to watch the game in 3D, keep the beer in the fridge.

There’s no one pushing 3D harder than Samsung, at least until James Cameron comes back to the spotlight again for the 3D home video release of 'Avatar.' But even Samsung wants to make sure you’re using 3D safely. You can view the full list on Samsung's site via the link below, but here are a few of the more interesting precautions.

First off, the site says not to use 3D while under the influence of alcohol. It’s an odd warning considering LG has installed their 3D sets into pubs across the UK. It’s also odd considering Samsung’s been pushing 3D soccer as one of the main attractions. And while not all sports fans are beer drinkers, the two do tend to go hand in hand.

So fine, you’re up watching TV and you’re not drinking. You also shouldn’t be too tired, according to Samsung. The warning strictly says that those who are sleep deprived should stay away from 3D. The same goes with the elderly and pregnant women. Why? Samsung doesn’t say.

And of course, Samsung recommends that you consult a medical specialist immediately if you start to feel lightheaded, dizzy, nauseated, or disoriented while watching content in 3D.

i think they're worried that drunks will think that the 3D urinal is real and begin peeing on tired pregant women.

IMHO and I may very well be wrong, I think this big push for 3D at home is going to flop.

It's all because of the dizzy aspect - some folks say it makes them dizzy, and in the instances cited, that could be a problem. Drunks and tired people are already dizzy enough, and they might be worried that the 3D would make it worse. And for the elderly and pregnant women - they don't want them falling down. All in all, pretty silly.

Fixed.

What about seizures?

I guess it's okay to smoke pot and sniff glue while watching 3D.

I should write to Samsung and see if my eating paste is okay.

And P!tu should check if eating a KFC Double Down is safe during 3D too!
