What did you/how did you explain to the 7 yr old what happened?

There's only one word I can say to this very graphical movie that shouldn't be aired on tv at those times as they can cause very big injuries in childrens minds for a pretty long time:
Auch.
Auch.

Hmmm...
the ad is only aired in prime time or later. or otherwise they use the ad i posted. or sometimes even that warehouse one.
@Brawny
people get injured in workplaces all the time. the WSIB wants to just inform people, in a wierd way, to be careful.

There is no ambiguity about what happens. He's a very mature 7 year old, he put the 2 and 2 together immediately and was horrified. We didn't have to explain anything regarding what happened. I explained that the lady was okay, because it was just a commercial, and her injuries were "makeup". Didn't help.Singhson said:

Yes, but I don't see any workman's comp. TV ads. >_<
If I was the producer, I would have gone for sex appeal, myself.

Maybe we need some - those lame W/Comp posters that get covered by company picnic posters [*if* they even get hung up] don't seem to be doing any good. :lol:
Though it keeps my clients in "business".

Well. I guess that even though he knows it's fake he could still see that face. In his mind. :/

Peripheral Topic:
People bringing small children into R (or even PG13) rated movies? Especially horror or action w/ violence/sex?
WTF.
Some crew had two kids in 28 Weeks Later - I almost kicked the dude in the teeth. They left after ~20 minutes thankfully.

I went too thirty days of night with my dad. But I don't get scared very easily.
( Except for things that pop up, like in that advertisement. )
You should have. Has that crew ever heard of the interwebz?

I see you're ~16/17, that seems more than reasonable (terrific movie BTW! I have the graphic novel around here somewhere, beautiful piece of work).
I understand the logistics of a sitter, but bringing the kids - and these were wee-folk, like < 8/yrs - isn't an option. Sitter or wait for the video release.
Well the kick-in-the-teeth was just to express my disdain (and wouldn't have helped anyway), but it seemed tantamount to child abuse.
