'Breaking Dawn' Movie Is Apparently Inducing Seizures

And not for the reason you’re thinking (that being, of course, that your brain is revolting against you)!

Seems like there’s some flashing white light during a scene where someone known as “Bella” is “acting” as if she is having a baby, and in some small percentage of the population it causes neural firing to sync up in such a way as to induce a seizure. Combine that with the bloody portions of the scene, and you’ve got certifiable seizure epidemic.

Of course, seizures are strange neural animals, and can be induced by the strangest of things … even the sight of former Entertainment Tonight host Mary Hart.

JUST TO BE SAFE, THOUGH: DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE SPARKLES, THE SPARKLES ARE DANGEROUS FOR YOUR BRAIN.
