    I doubt that they are very concerned. The more controversy, the more publicity, and the more people watching it. They just had a series about a young girl committing suicide that seemed to be linked to multiple suicides. They denied that they had any kind of a role in them, and kept on showing the series. I'm sure that they were very aware that people would be injured prior to production of "Bird Box," and were just as delighted as they were prior to the showing of "13 Reasons Why."

    Put me in with the guys that shave without their glasses.
    Kinda fuzzy with a lot of feel.

    It's a horror movie, but some idiots will try anything, hence the worry about lawsuits.

    Well we've done well to remove our natural predators..
    Stupidity seems to be taking their place.
    Now with a combination of Facebook (makes people depressed), selfies (existential crisis?), and this Bird Brain thing, maybe the NWO will not need to kill off 90% of the population to cool down the globe.. There is hope!

    IIRC there was a contest here a few year ago with just the same idea, make a video of yourself shaving blindfolded and the judges would pick the best one and give away a prize. The idea was shot down for fear of someone hurting themselves or something. I personally thought the fear was unfounded but what do i know.

    Just for the record a member suggested that for a contest. It was never seriously considered.

    Though it is quite a novel idea, probably ill-advised.
    Can't say that I wouldn't take my place among the contestants though!
    I can see it now.. a secret society of shavers.
    Now for a name: The Blind Shavers Society? The Dark Shave Club? The Bird Box Bleeders? Ooh that one has a ring to it!
