Talk:Blipvert

Newy York Daily News

There's a use of "blipvert" in a recent New York Daily News article about short 1/3 of a screen ads during TV shows.

Probably not widespread enough for inclusion in the article, but if it catches on, it might be handy for a later editor to have links/references.

The Max Headroom (TV series) article also has a list.

There really needs to be some kind of resolution of the mirroring of content between this article and the Max Headroom (TV series) list of real life blipvert examples. Should all the content be listed here with the Max Headroom article containing a link referring to the blipvert list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.116.73 (talk) 18:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Blipverts, a killer?

... investigative reporter Edison Carter exposes his own network's decision to broadcast them even though they kill people.

Is this a thing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.148.138.45 (talk) 12:25, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

• Nope. This was a fictional plot device. There's no evidence that this sort of advertising can have any physical effects on the viewer, apart from possibly triggering epileptic seizures. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:08, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Ivar's blipvert during Super Bowl

I don't recall which Super Bowl it was (somewhere around 2010), but the Ivar's seafood restaurant chain did a half-second blipvert that had gained some (at least local to Seattle, WA) notability. It'll take me some time to find references for it, but I know they exist. And I know that we don't want to violate the "not a directory" tenet, so if I can't find enough to establish sufficient notability, I won't pursue this further. :) — KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:07, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
