Hmm... I found it a bit over the top. I guess because I've never acted that extreme when I was low. I've been in a panic but I never beat the crap out of anyone. I am neither amused nor offended.

Yeah, if you haven't seen Crank then you won't find it very funny since it is more of a parody of that movie than of diabetes (or anything else).

I hesitated providing the link to the Jason Statham movie, "Diabetes." Because I recalled the old saying “any publicity is good publicity," be it good publicity or bad. And because I was concerned that more tudiabetes community members would be offended than have expressed their feelings to date.

I've noticed that some members have not bothered to reply about the trailer although they visited tudiabetes yesterday and this morning. Perhaps the silence of those members is their way of expressing their feelings. Best regards, Lucy

Why read so much into it? Maybe they didn't reply because they didn't look at the movie. I don't read every thread here, just the ones the pique my interest.

Good point Terry Keelan about not everyone reads every discussion at TuDiabetes; I miswrote and agree with you. Most likely--silent members aren't offended members, regarding the discussion about the Jason Statham movie, "Diabetes." Apparently, I need to put more thought into my replies before adding them.

As a newbie, I try to keep up with new discussions & subsequent replies and, when I have time, I read old ones. But like you: I don't read every discussion, "just the ones that pique my interest." Also, I find the ones that I do read very insightful about a diabetic world of humor, anger, regret, sorrow, hope, trust, distrust, frustrations, fears, and more--of which I'm a part...whether I like it or not. Thanks to everyone for their candid and enlightening discussions and replies.
Best regards, Lucy

Loved it. Yeah, you kind of have to get the Crank reference to really appreciate the spoof. I clicked the link and started watching, wondering if maybe this was a real movie. As soon as I got the joke, though, I couldn't stop smiling as I watched the rest of it. Funny as hell. So glad you linked to it, otherwise I doubt I'd have stumbled upon it otherwise. Thanks.

I had the same response, haha. You definitely have to have seen Crank to really appreciate it at all, I think the point was mostly to parody Crank, which it did well.

I thought is was stupid and yet funny. It basically had nothing to do with diabetes except they said the word. I love that the candy stripe was packing!

I wasn't offended at all, I thought it was funny and a great spoof of the movie CRANK. WELL DONE.
Personally, I find that humor really helps regarding managing my diabetes.
