Hmmmm. They could have come up with something, not quite so threatening. They're lucky nobody had a heart attack!

I'd probably react the same way they did

Might have been funny before 9-11, but with the world on edge and war threats I don't think it was funny at all.

They could have used a less threatening video for their sale's pitch. My son will want one of these TV's if my DIL will let me show him that video.

I figured it was actors making the commercial, but it's mean spirited and might inspire others to come up with ugly pranks. I certainly wouldn't buy their product after seeing that. The reason I'm pretty sure it's actors is that one or more of them starts to react too quickly. There's no way anyone would have understood danger at the point where the "meteor" is barely visible in the corner of the screen, especially during the focused situation of a job interview.
