Hee Hee Battling seizure robots! I've seen that clip a number of times and it has never made me have a seizure. I think it was hysteria mainly.

You also know that the number of "victims" was greatly exaggerated, right? Although not intentionally on the part of the media--it was because there was a statement about how anyone who had a seizure because of the show didn't have to attend school the next day. So all of a sudden a ton were reported, and that's the numbers they went from.

But from what I read, it seemed they got the numbers from how many were taken to hospital, which was around 600-700. Of course, what you said sounds likely too.


Well yeah, if your kid says they had a seizure, you take them to the hospital even if you didn't see it happen.

That's interesting about how something so small can cause such a widespread panic.
