Sorry if I offended anyone..that was NOT my intent...but:

 

Image result for can blinking lights cause seizures
 
For about 3% of people with epilepsy, exposure to flashing lights at certain intensities or to certain visual patterns can trigger seizures.
 
This condition is known as photosensitive epilepsy."
 
 
 
I used the wrong modern term to describe what the flashing blinking lights might do TO ME.
 
Let's not belabor the point....why, tonight on Broadway, actors are advising thier costars to "break a leg".....
 
 
No one is "making fun" of anyone...and to go from my post to 'mocking EVERYONE with disablilites" is a real stretch.
 
 
I was describing what it would do to ME, not to anyone who may suffer from the disease.
 
Peace. Read the Philosophy bottle now...it'll calm you down....!

@Othereeeen : You are mixing up an old theater superstition w/ a disability.

When I was taking X-Rays a tech had epilepsy and didn't tell anyone. One night she had an episode (working alone) and was fired.

I still say shame on you. That is like in the old days somone would say someone was acting retarded.

When I lose the TV controller, it's always in some remote destination.
