on a set in Venezuela as a way of promoting “lightning bets” and it sent the internet into a frenzy given that it looked real.
Lightning Strike and Electric Shock Survivors International, an organization dedicated to helping those impacted by similar injuries, was not pleased with the advertisement, though, and voiced its displeasure. “The recent Drew Brees lightning commercial is an inappropriate, disgusting method of promoting gambling or any TV commercial campaign,” LSESSI. “This is a deadly injury, and it is disappointing to see the continual ridicule of lightning and electrical injury survivors in comical light in which it is presented for commercial gain and profit.”
The organization did not find the promotion funny and wondered “what example does it set for our children to learn?” Additionally, the LSESSI believes the Brees commercial “just set us back 20 years.”
