Default rofl @ life alert commercials

has anyone seen these lately? i think these were the ones that had the "i've fallen and i can't get up" but they edited it out. i love it when they interview, and the one subtitle says "Fell; Couldn't Reach Phone"

i don't know why, but this commercial cracks me up. Maybe its the crazy old people on the commercial, and the crazy things they say.

the way that old lady says "Thank God for life alert. I owe my life to it" is great. She almost sounds like a robot.

Penny Y. of Terre Haute, Indiana called and wanted to thank Life Alert for dispatching the police to her house. She woke up and realized that there was a man looking into her window and someone trying to open her front door. The person looking in the window saw her press the Life Alert Pendent and heard the alarm sounds. The suspects fled the scene. The police arrived to make sure that Penny was okay. Penny was thankful that Life Alert kept her safe in a scary situation.

When Marjorie S. of Summerfield, Florida was in the process of evacuating her home to make way for Hurricane "Frances". She tripped over a folding chair and was seriously injured. Not knowing what had happened she pressed her Life Alert Pendent to get help, as she was alone in the house. Life Alert dispatched the paramedics who had to break down the door to help her. Marjorie was very thankful to Life Alert for saving her life.

Half of this story has nothing to do with Life Alert.

Subscriber Penny Y. of Terre Haute, Indiana called in to thank Life Alert for being there when she most needed it. She sent us a medical alert because she was having an asthma attack and could barely breathe or speak. Penny said she had fallen right before the paramedics arrived to her home. She told us that her asthma attack was so severe that she had to be transported to the hospital. She also thanked Life Alert for calling her son and daughter about her situation. Penny is very thankful for Life Alert.

Wow, they should put her in a home. Poor Penny, again.

Hazel said that we are her best friends
Every night before I go to bed, I don't feel alone as I know that the friendly and courteous people of Life Alert are there for me with just a touch of a button.
Thank you.

buttons at night under the covers?

I need it badly because I cannot get around. Life Alert is from me!

I found my own brother deceased in his home for who knows how long. Being 89 years old and living alone, Life Alert makes me feel safer and more independent.

"Raymond W." of New York was not aware of it but his kitchen was on fire. Life Alert received a smoke signal from his residence. When Life Alert telephoned Raymond, he was still not aware of the fire. Life Alert dispatched the fire department who extinguished the fire in his kitchen. Thanks to Life Alert, property and lives were saved and they we very thankful for the service and the quick reaction of Life Alert.
