Actually, I think in that case what you're supposed to do is tell them 
they're going to be a quadriplegic, and then when they learn that it's 
only waist down, it's a huge relief.

Gallows humor there.  Sorry.

Well, as long as they don't list Danny Glover, I think it compensates.

Oh, you say they not only do that, but they advertise his appearance in 
every single episode, even though he is never on the show?  Well, yes, 
in that case, it would be rather false advertising.
