I had a T Rex tape, but then I got it on CD.

I seriously doubt that tape would do what they're showing it doing too.

Instead of taking his child's safety into consideration, this lazy dumbass fixes the ladder with some duct tape. Idiot.

Seriously!!!!

Lazy ass can't be bothered to cut a piece of 2x4 and drill a couple of holes in it.

Plus, he probably used several bucks worth of that expensive tape.

Moron.

Let's see Dad step in the middle where the "patch" is. Might as well had used Elmer's glue.

I could actually believe it if he had put a solid piece of wood underneath the broken piece then wrapped it all tightly with the tape.

OR.... if he had first ran a couple of strips of tape lengthwise along the broken board then wrapped tape around it crossways, that MIGHT even be believable.

But just butting the two halves together end to end, then wrapping tape around it and expecting us to believe it held, is ridiculous!!!!

Besides, tape requires a clean, smooth,non-porous surface to adhere to. The idea that any tape would adhere to a rough, porous, dirty wood surface to begin with, is pretty preposterous in and of itself.

Well, they do show for a split second that he's taping a stick to the bottom of the board. Seems like a lot of trust to put into a random stick. 

But that dinosaur sound effect... ugh. They play it for too long. It ends up sounding less like a T-Rex and more like a train wreck.

I wonder who wants to die rich?
Seems all one would have to do is precisely what is done in the commercial, have the tape fail ensuring to get injured just enough for the court room for that big payday from deceptive advertising.
