Facebook Post Burying Rick D. in the sand

Shawnie — Thu, 25 May 2023 19:39:41 GMT

There is a post on Facebook advertsing Shawn and Rick's new show that shows Rick buried up to his head in sand at the beach. There is another showing the process of burying him. I am shocked that QVC would produce such an ad when it is so dangerous to do that---People die when the sand collapses and they can't get out. QVC can't be that unaware or maybe they are. To me it is irresponsible.

@Shawnie Sorry this ad seemed to upset you. But, being honest, many ads are not realistic and are not meant to be. This goes for commercials, TV shows, movies, many have "situations" that could be dangerous. We all must have common sense and know not to bury ourselves in the sand (pun intended).

It wouldn't be necessary to dig a hole 6ft deep. They could have buried him sideways. Chances are he wasn't buried at all but the picture was PhotoShopped.

@cjm61 @Yes, maybe not upset but certainly displeased that they would do this. And unfortunately it is not enough to believe people know this is dangerous. Folks see stuff that influencers do and want to copy it. This is a killer. QVC should pull it.

I live near VA beach and the outer Banks. A 17 year old died a few weeks ago from being burried. Sand crushes the lungs and collapsed them.
Lifeguards tell people to dig holes no deeper than their knees.
The sea turtles hatch their eggs and holes that are left can kill them. Some areas don't allow it.
🏖️ 🕳️ NO!

When I was a kid, we did this all of the time and took pictures.

You just dig out a trench that is long and not very deep. The person lays down and lounges back like they were in a recliner.

Sand is filled in around the person and around their shoulders. There is nothing to cave in and bear weight on your chest. You are actually right under the surface of the sand which is inches deep.

Rick can use his hands to get out and stand up.

To actually bury someone standing up is dangerous, but this is not what has been done.

Didn't anyone else do it when they were young, the safe way?

I don't actually think it is Rick. It's a two photo set up. I looked carefully and I think what seems to be just Rick's head is a mannequin. There is a distinct seam at his neck that is just implausible to to be a neck wrinkle of any type. It's intended to fool you. They took stills and video up to a certain point and then stick a mannequin head in the sand, wearing the hat & glasses the other photos associate with real Rick.

I find this just a spoof on "fun at the beach". QVC is not inspiring or advising or teaching anyone to go get buried in sand. There's a limit to "saving" everyone from every stupid idea they may get by looking at others. People do stupid stuff every day without believing they saw it somewhere else and ran right out to do it.

From the pictures posted it doesn't look like that is what was done.

@gizmogal At first glance, I thought it looked like a mannequin head too. The face looks plastic.

It is either a mannequin or he is sitting with his legs stretched out in a shallow trench, or his head could be cut and pasted into the sand.

Anyway, there is no danger. QVC and Rick are not that stupid.

@spumoni99 Well, there is no way anyone dug out sand for a 6 ft something man to stand up in and be buried in.

I have pictures of my husband that looks just like this. He looks buried, but is just sitting with his legs stretched out with sand bundled around him.

It's definitely photoshopped, but wrong on so many other levels. 🙄

Photoshop. It's so obvious.

If they actually showed him being buried, I'd believe it.

My first thought when I saw this was it looked very dangerous to me and Rick did not look very comfortable with it either. I don't like it at all..
