As a participant of the Epilepsy Foundation, I think this is excellent. Epilepsy needs this major media exposure, at premieres, talk shows, with celebrities, so forth. More people just need to well talk about it. Now if only we can get Hugo Weaving to talk about his epilepsy.

I like Jeff Goldblum as an actor, but I can tell he hasn't the faintest clue of the subject.

This is much like a Diabetes awareness advertisement that is like, "give 'em a cookie or something".

As always, Harrison Ford knows what he is talking about.

God bless them all for wanting to raise awareness about a medical condition. I think more employers should be aware of conditions, and take CPR, it's empowering and a good way to avoid a lawsuit.
