Although adverts on the fridge are absolutely terrible, is this genuine? Here's a reddit post some time before that suggesting the scenario: https://old.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/1ow6cpu/appa...

Just because someone suggested a possible scenario could happen and it then did happen isn't all that suspicious to me.

On Reddit? It should... These were historically almost always made up after people looked into it.

To be clear, the picture is likely real. The backstory to it probably not.

The people that actually feel like they've had the episode would almost certainly not go on social media with it. The venn diagram of people sharing such content, having the money to buy such a gigantic smart fridge and suffering from schizophrenia is miniscule

Did you read the post? It's somebody talking about what happened to their sister.

>>GaryBl+R9
I admittedly did not, initially.

I did now and am even more certain it's made up now.

I'm not sure how anyone can honestly think this is a person talking about their family. This is like a textbook made believe story people have been doing since Reddit got popular in early 2010s.

For this story to be real, you'll have to add a fourth and fifth circle to the diagram with a family member being close enough to the person suffering from the illness to be confided in and being so karma hungry to utilize their personal story which is likely shameful to them for going viral on Reddit.

Another circle for the Venn diagram is that the schizophrenic sister's name happens to be Carol, the same as the name in the ad shown on the fridge.

Obviously made up.

> the schizophrenic sister's name happens to be Carol ... Obviously made up.

Why? because no-ones' sister is ever called "Carol" ? Or because people of that name don't get schizophrenia?

I consider myself sane, but if I saw a billboard addressing me by name, I would do a double-take at least. I can easily understand how it would have an impact and look like a schizophrenic symptom.

The TV show advert with that text actually does exist, I've seen it.

Given that, what are the odds that some day a) it is seen, b) by someone called Carol, c) who is susceptible to being affected by it. I would say substantial.

We don't know the truth of this at all.

Somehow it all happened just in time to coincide with the release of this big show: Samsung rolling out ads(a big story in its own), Pluberis (or whatever the name of the show) from the creator of the Breaking Bad on Apple TV, schizophrenic sister that is named Carol.

Totally NOT made up.

Not related at all, but I have this very exciting business idea – you can make billions, can you contact me via email in my bio? Not a scam, 100%.

> schizophrenic sister that is named Carol.

Name matches will happen regardless of the name chosen for a fictional person. "named Carol" specifically vs other names is an irrelevance. You put too much on it.

> Totally NOT made up.

Once more for the hard of reading, I refer you to what I said earlier, "We don't know the truth of this at all."

> but I have this very exciting business idea – you can make billions,

It looks to me like you want to rant people you have invented, who hold positions that I do not. I'm sorry that you can't parse nuance, but I think I'll keep the sceptical lack of faith in your position that I used earlier.

I’m still awaiting your email, good luck!

Then you failed to read and understand what I wrote at all. And so there is no point in further written conversation. Good day.
