It was my dad’s birthday and he took us to Party City (which in the dream was more like Chuck-e-Cheese and Dave & Buster’s).

Just saw on YouTube a Party City pre-Hallowe’en season ad that was literally a screamer scare.
(Please read until the end before responding to me, btw)
I loved it. It was funny, relevant, and effective.
I cannot express my rage that it’s an ad, on YouTube or anywhere.
Party City should be held over the coals for this ad, the marketing company that made the ad should be held over the coals, and any platform that allows this ad to be shown should be held over the coals.
I. Am Not. Everyone.
Me thinking a screamer ad is funny and relevant does not make it a good ad.
I cannot even list all the conditions that make random exposure to screamers and similar painful at the least and triggering at the worst.
And as someone working through C-PTSD, I do not use that word lightly.
Screamers are only fun if the recipient thinks they are fun.
If is not something you just throw around in public.
It is not something you put on a general access platform, where people not only can’t opt out of them but have a reasonable belief that they are protected from them.
People don’t expect screamers in a YouTube ad.
Yes, if you are familiar with screamers, you can tell it’s coming in the ad a mile away.
Most of the people this would be the biggest problem for may not recognize that, or be prepared for stopping the ad in time.
And how many people watch YouTube nowadays on smart devices? Up close and personal?
Maybe with headphones?
Fuck this ad.
Just because some people think it’s funny, doesn’t mean it’s ok to inflict it on people with real reasons why they avoid these things.
