Stupid NBC

[PolishSausage]

While watching TV today I saw an ad for the sitcom "Just Shoot Me" Hosted on the NBC networks.

I've never seen the show but the ad today was the company goes to play paintball. When I heard that I watched a little closer. From what the commercial shows, they all play paintball without any safety protection on at all. Not even sunglasses. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

Ad this to the list...

Just Shoot Me

i saw that show, jaw dropped when i saw the paintball guns in the hands and no mask on

[TippmannMan]

yea well...

i bet they did it cause they dont want to be hiding their faces. it would be like the power rangers. it would be kinda weird...

[Raptor3359]

Master of the obvious lol j/k

that doesnt make it safe, if i playing paintball with my girl friend she shouldnt wear a mask because i want to see her face?

God damn, this is getting tired. What gives them the right to smother our sport like that? hell even greg the bunny used proper eye protection. Damn nbc... Tom, no joke, can you get on the phone, along with bill mills, budd orr and so on, and talk to these guys? hech any one know chuck hendrich? this is his call to make also. Something needs to be done

i wish SPPLAT, PPMMA, PMA, WARPIG and others would really take an interest in informing the media on paintball play. i mean, the promotions can be GREAT, but it needs to be safely played. im sure that the manufacturers would be willing to pay for the equipment used in these episodes in return for proper safety.

maybe when im in congress some day....lol!

[insert image of RP stepping up to the soap-box]yup, someday, sombody will do something.... NOT.

As a paintball activist of sorts, I tell people that YOU are the somebody and YOU should be the one telling people. write to the producers, send emails to the webmasters -whatever you want, but don't try to get somebody else to do it for you.

step out of the comfort-zone. if we don't have time to write an email or letter, then it must not be a very big priority, now, right?

we all need to be adults about these things and express our thoughts calmly in letters and emails, not swearing or using slang or jargon that the common man doesn't understand.

I write to congresspersons, and representatives, and other political persons regularly about paintball - it's not hard, just do it, adn you may be surprised that if your not is clear and not beligerant, they may even write back asking for more details or want to talk to you about the situation!!!

the bottom line is that it is all about us as individuals doing what we can to make this great republic of ours a great place to live and work. I couldn't imagein living in a country that restricted or outlawed paintball like in non-American locations around the world.

it's up to us to educate the populous and poloticians and movie producers etc about paintball. For example, you know what irked me more than the lack of safety in that show? it was the militaristic stereotypical view they were spreading. Paintball is a fun, family sport, and even big fat, bald, ugly guys like me can play and have a great time.

so, if you wnat these paintball places to get more active (which most already are, but you probably just don't know it) - send an email, write a letter, get active, don't jsut couch-potatoe and complain. Do Something!
