Damn jlzinck you really are lucky to be alive.

Question and I know it’s a stupid one but does anybody know the initial steps one would have to take to get a commercial taken off the air. Bonus points if anybody can guess which commercial it is.

Yeah. Amazing anyone dumb enough not to be able to open a door is alive decades later. At some point he probably had to cross a street. How the hell did he manage that one?

Mike Rainone, Clive (his last name escapes me) and I went to play basketball at a court in Cambridge. Clive was a character I tell you. He was a young black kid from England with an incredible cockney accent. He would always great me with "Hey now Jonofin" and his smile lit up a room, partially because of the gold tooth he had.
I was wearing my new Nike pants I had just bought at the old Sports store inside the old North Station.
We played until it was time to go back.
When we got back our friend Dottie, who had been out of work for quite a while, came back to work starting part time.
As we were talking, Dottie's eyes rolled back into her head and she started shaking uncontrollably. I yelled for someone to call 911 and went to go get the Registry Police Offer who was stationed 1 floor below us.
As I got to the door leading out of our office, a metal framed door with 3/4 inch thick frosted glass, I didn't slow down and pushed the door open. Well that was the intent anyway. The door stuck and I went through the glass with my shins hitting the frame and sending me to the floor.
I shook off the cobwebs and noticed this INCREDIBLE PAIN in my right hand. There was also blood on the floor but I didn't have time for this. I needed to get my friend help.
Now while I don't remember this I am told that 2 women I worked with were about 10 feet from the door when I went through and one almost fainted.
Anyway I get back up and continue to go get the police when I was grabbed by an older gentleman and told to sit down. I told him I couldn't because I had to get help for my friend. He informed me that I was the one who needed help.
I can imagine the site people saw. I was sitting there and 2 people were holding my arms above my head and the older gentleman was holding a towel on my head.
I look down and I am pissed because my new $40 pants are ripped to shreds. Every time someone new passes I ask if they got help for Dottie and I am assured they have.
About 3-5 minutes go by and I start to get really light headed and I hear someone say "Thank God he's out"....which prompts me to open my eyes and tell them that aint happening.
Eventually the ambulance arrives and the EMT/paramedics start working on me. They keep asking me questions about how I am feeling and how much pain I am in. The pain in my right hand was some of the worse I have ever experienced in my almost 18 years on the planet.
They get me on a stretcher and wheel me out of the RMV and into an ambulance. I hear the dispatch tell them to take me to Boston City Hospital. I tell them I would rather take my chances on my own. They bring me to Mass General 3/4 miles away.
When I get in the ER I ask if they can do something about the pain in my fingers, there were 2 hunks of glass embedded into the tips if the middle and ring finder of my right hand. Within 10 seconds of the Demerol going in there was no more pain.
As the doctor is inspecting my wounds he tells me I am very fortunate. He said the glass that ripped open my left inner thigh missed my femoral artery by 1/8th inch or less.
When all was said and done I was in the ER being diagnosed, cleaned up and stitched together for 4.5 hours. A total of 180 stitches from the top of my head to my knees and a hell of a concussion is what I ended up with
The stitches were on the top of my head, right ribcage, left stomach, left inner thigh, scrotum and both knees. Where the glass was embedded in my fingers they let those heal naturally. I also sliced the tendon in my left pinky which needed later surgery for me to use it again.
I can't remember my work passwords sometimes but I remember this day 39 years ago very vividly.

Wow Jon, pretty terrifying story.

I saw a pretty funny interview with the creator of "Community" telling stories about Chevy's temper tantrums. I think all the 20 somethings on the show (Donald Glover, Allison Brie, etc) were pretty done with him by the end.

Still love his movies and the "You Can Call me Al' video is a favorite.

Incredible that the glass didn't hit the femoral artery. It just wasn't your time to go.

You sound like my 72 year old Mom. She can't stand when douche, ED, or condom commercials come on TV.

Don’t care about those you mentioned just something about pubic hair with a cartoon figure women singing a catchy jingle, have you seen the commercial if you haven’t just wait and then you can tell me I am wrong to hate it.

I just watched it on YouTube. I love the comment someone made about it being their new favorite Disney Princess. . I wouldn't say I hate it. It's just a dumb commercial, but they still have the right to advertise their product on TV and I don't see any FCC violations in it.

Now, can you imagine if they advertised guns on TV?

You wouldn’t like it as much if your grandkids walked around the house singing the jingle. I can deal with most garbage on tv but why must they keep pushing the boundaries. It’s like doing things a little at a time until things that are truly horrible are seen as commonplace.

I guess nothing is sacred anymore at least they don’t have a jingle yet. Waiting for the ass crack hair shaver next. Just think of something offensive and make a commercial out of it, why not it’s the way of the world nowadays.

I agree. The world would be a better place if we were like Boo and weren't exposed to female pubic hair until they were in their mid thirties.

I could mute the commercial or change the channel. Or, I could explain to them that it's not appropriate for them to do that and that the commercial and jingle are aimed at selling grownups a product instead of demanding something I don't like be taken off the air. Unless you just want to continue with cancel culture.

Wrong and I won’t bother explaining the difference to you as it would fall on deaf ears.

I forgot, it's your way or the highway on certain things. You sure sound like a member of the party for the most part I don't like when you act like that.
