HAHAHA- _THIS LEG WAS SPONSORED BY _*_FUCKING_*_ RAID SHADOW LEGENDS_

RRRRAAAID

If it was then the leg would just be a piece of cardboard You know like their game

Raid shadow leg

Raid shadows colored leg-end

Speak for yourselves, I've seen plenty of people being paid to strap a sign to their back and stand in one spot to be a human advertisement

@@eggsnham. That made more sense to me than buying a shirt with a logo, but they wouldn't have allowed a giant sign because of dress codes

Excluding the clothing companies of course. There’s tags, logos and trademarks on most clothing. Partly companies just not liking to share a billboard with another company maybe, idk. Edit: i think i meant that companies do indeed pay to put their trademarks all over people’s bodies. Like airpods or literally anything

​​@@eggsnham. Yes but They're paid. This case on the other hand, she paid for those body parts. Literally losing money to be a walking advertisement

@@Federico-1 clothing companies are exactly what I'm talking about though. I still avoid clothes with visible branding, but the tags nobody sees get a pass lol

This is the fucking dream. You sound like a wonderful friend.

Is your friend a devil hunter named Nero and works in a shop called Devil May Cry?

This sounds great. Could you make a video of the process?

Two things: Make Jetstream Sam's arm, and make one of Violet Evergarden's arms. Then post it on YT, and make a heap of money.

Bro's V1

Exactly!! 😆

I guess the target audience is the amputee themselves? They get you used to wearing a leg with one particular brand, and then they hope that if it was a good leg then you'll want to go for the same brand again when you need a replacement or a second one (Is "wearing" the right word? wearing the prosthetic?)

@@douglaswolfen7820 yes…….you WEAR the prosthetic like you’d wear any other piece of clothing………..that’s the right word! lol ❤

@@RobbyMounce thanks! I've probably already heard Jo say that 50 times by now. But it's such an obvious word that I don't even think about it

😅😅😅😅😅

that’s true but also it’s for people who have to have these parts and so it would also be a hassle if it wasn’t clearly labeled on who they got it from and you had to look on the inside or not even be able to find one at all

maybe a leg like sleeve to cover them?

I disagree. They should imprint the company name and serial number discreetly instead of a giant, name or logo in the most visible possible place. People with implanted devices get wallet cards and do just fine.

You mean... pants​? @@ridog00

Sometimes I forget about Pimp my Ride. Flashbacks. You also took me back to Sharktale. The early 2000s tho

On the one hand, "hide" does kind of suggest that the people are being talked about like animals, which feels a bit problematic? On the other hand, it's such a good pun that I really want to give it a pass 😃

my urn I got for my twin has the companies label on the side. The place that cremated him sent me a “gift bag” that was empty with a massive logo on it.

@@stilesthehuntindog2767 I’m so sorry about that. We choose a family heirloom, a copper handmade urn, for my brother’s remains. So I was unaware of this sad possibility. My condolences on the loss of your twin. May I suggest you make a decorative cover for the urn, with your twin’s name, life’s dates and a theme that reflects your twin’s personality or interests. Our next oldest brother kept the urn. On another note, I had no interest in keeping my husband’s urn at home, but did the same as I suggested to you, but by customizing a photo frame. My husband’s remains are in an urn designed with Navy insignia and interred in a national cemetery.

Is "temple bar" an actual term? I always thought they were called arms.

@@tailstechvideos2327 this is a good question, it’s easy enough to do So, most likely for content

@@anthonyanderson4039 probably some warranty BS. They likely won't service it or warranty it if it is "altered".

Man, prosthetics these days really do cost you an arm and/or a leg

I feel like you might as well be complaining about your car or shoes having brand names and/or logos on them. They are made by a company which needs certain types of advertising, like pretty much everything we see around us Also I, admittedly, completely don't understand the mentality of people who need this special equipment for daily routine, but wouldn't you be grateful towards a company which basically gives you an opportunity to move around? To me it seems somewhat like taking food from a person while in desperate need for it and then claiming you didn't need any of it or denying that said person helped you out

@@professorxxx4142 I mean, when you start talking about being "grateful," you might want to also take into account that these devices usually cost obscene amounts of money-- money that's difficult for a disabled person to make in the first place. So no, we aren't really "grateful" in the way you want us to be.

​@@professorxxx4142 *The difference is you can get cars and shoes without very visible branding. It is possible and quite easy. It's comparably very difficult to get prosthetics without that, and they also aren't given for free- majority of people are still paying HEAPS for it. Paying to have an advertisement on their body... it's not great

@@professorxxx4142 (1) Brand names that are visible on items ALWAYS suck. For everyone. They're egotistic AF. If a person wants to know what car it is, they can ASK. (2) You don't understand "Help". Help is the thing that you do UNCONDITIONALLY (3) A blasted person or insurance company PAID MONEY to own an item and now is made into walking adversing?? What the hell is wrong with you. Right, you're like those ppl who thought it's wise to put brand names on in non-removable manner or in blatantly visible places and thus chose to drop respect towards the ppl who are feeding them.

​@@professorxxx4142 Why do people have to be grateful towards companies that profit off of their disabilities? So many disabled people are left poor, homeless, or unable to acquire necessary medical equipment because of their greed-fueled price gouging. You can be grateful for the technology while still not wanting to endorse a company bleeding you dry for access to it.

People in here are perfectly aware of that AND they realise that this will not change over night, so they're starting out with the "how to make lemonade out of lemons". There's enough time to address the systemic issues AFTER assuring this individual can make themselves more comfortable without impacting warranty etc.

In the video, she's not asking viewers how to cover up the logos. She's just sharing that ppl with prosthetics have to deal with wearing advertisements on their body parts like an unwanted tattoo. She covers it or not, it's still there, and they don't get a choice on that.

I totally agree! There are a lot of ways the parts and prices could be branded/labeled in a way that is not obvious when you’re wearing them

@@FootlessJoi never thought of this until you mentioned it, you could argue this is a violation of your medical privacy. Either way, these companies owe money to every patient using these body parts. Companies pay people to tattoo logos on them but why not prosthetics?

@@mburg33because tattoos are slightly more permanent.

@@mburg33??? You agree to the advertising when you buy the product lol! This is a nonissue.

@@elite3254 it could be argued that even if they agreed to it, it was very likely in a form of duress since there really no other option to retain a body part. What the corporations are doing here is forced advertising because everyone else is doing it (meaning every other business). We also must examine the market dominance these brands have and factor that in as well to answer your defense.

People are gonna stare anyway might as well capitalize on it

Like how nascar drivers and gymnasts put logos on themselves 😂

wait until you hear about t-shirts

I think we should all have dinosaur feet. Screw this toe thing. Your kid's a genius!

thats cool but i nearly made a 5 year old cry when they asked about my leg and i said somebody unscrewed my belly button and it fell off 😂😂

My dad told a my great nephew that the booger monster ate his finger. The look on his face was priceless and the kid never picked his nose again.@@firsty8056

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠ Hwy, Firsty! I understand the invasiveness of the five-year-old question, but think about what you said to a child’s curiosity. If you didn’t want to answer, you could’ve perhaps addressed the child’s parent privately because at five they are curious, but they need factual answers, not the sarcasm that you could give an older child or an adult for being obnoxiously curious. Obviously, you don’t have to go into a private details of whatever trauma it was that caused you to need a prosthetic body part, but perhaps project the wonder that because you couldn’t use the old part, you have a wonderful prosthetic. (Please do use that word, it’s a real word that even a five-year-old could add “ prosthetic” to their vocabulary) Adding perhaps, that you can still walk, run, and wear it with shoes or boots. Point being, making it a positive experience for the five-year-old, at the cost of your own discomfort, could one day be very important to their child should he or she have an accident and be needing a prosthetic themselves. You could be a great role model for such a child. This day and age has been all kinds of accidents and dismemberments that have been treated with prosthetics, that were not available and say the 1800s and perhaps the 1900s. When I watch “footless” Jo on her life’s adventure, I’ve learnt a lot about how to respect the person and silence my own curiosity when meeting somebody with an obvious prosthetic arm or foot. I wish you the best, and I hope you don’t take my comment as judgment, because I’m not. I’ve taught children from preschoolers all the way up to eighth grade. And studied child development. At age 5 if a parent didn’t overhear it and knew how to help the child, what you said could actually give an innocent child nightmares about his or her own belly button and actually losing a foot. I do see your good intentions of deflecting with wry humor what would otherwise be considered a rude comment if coming from an adult. If you had said that to a rude adult, I would’ve openly laughed. Not at you, but at your whitty response to the rude adult for the audacity of questioning something so personal of an obvious stranger. But a child sees concretely, and I’m sure that if you’re like most people, you wouldn’t intentionally inflict emotional conflict on a child. I have a long scar on my prominent arm, from elbow almost to my wrist, where my surgeon installed a tritium plat with 11 screws and a bunch of “cat gut” (that’s not made from felines) through a deli I ate surgery, miraculously protecting my ulnar nerve. So thankful that the surgeons had the skills needed to saving my right arm. I had fallen from an upright position to flat on my face with the exception, that my right arm hit first saving my face and bone structures there in. My smashed ulnar bone was assisted by the plate and the 11 screws held it in place. Actually, still hold it in place after allowing the destroyed bone to grow around it. My radial bone’s cap was detached during the fall and my humorous bone had cracks in it. My elbow was literally reformed after the radio cap was amputated. So in a way, my repaired elbow with the cat gut holding things in place, but mostly the titium plate is an inward prosthetic that my body accepted. The only thing showing is the long scar. Sometimes people ask about it, but it’s mostly mentioned by folks in medical settings, like an ER or hospital setting, when I’m being accessed for non related treatment, when IVs or blood needs to be drawn. Oh yeah, airports security too! When my scar was most obvious, it did draw a lot of attention and questions from family, friends, and even strangers, but mostly out of concern, instead of curiosity. Like “what happened to you!” And sometimes I’ll ask people with similar situations about what happened, and I’ll show them my scar and encourage them that full healing is possible. But it takes work! It took me years working at regaining strength, and full use of my right arm. My left arm and hand was actually in distress from being overused as both my temporary substitute prominent hand, and still as left hand. Surgeon did not give me false hope, saying that some people only can regain 50%, some regain 70% and it would be a miracle if I regained 85% of my range of motion, and that’s the best I could hope for. 🥺. Optimist at heart, I worked hard at it, worked through pain, with only Tylenol, physical therapy and heating pads. My goal was to regain as much as possible!! In the end, I passed 85%, and final result, was the regaining 99.99% of my 99% of my range of motion!!! My success was as palpable as Jo’s success in regaining her freedom to walk! But I understand that the challenges of needing ongoing adjustments and replacement parts or whole prosthetics is much more ongoing and challenging in a lifelong way. I applaud folks who want to go through this to accomplish their other life goals. 👏 👏 👏 I can only imagine the pain and the work, maybe calling that blood, sweat and tears, amputees have to go through to regain balance, confidence, poise. I loved watching Jo rejoice at finally having normal range of motion in her new ankle, regaining flection to her step, and joy at maneuvering climbing and descending with full grace regained. 🎉🎉🎉 I applaud your victories!🎉 I applaud, footless Jo’s victories!🎉. And I silently applaud folks, I noticed wearing prosthetics in public, when it’s not my place to gawk, or bring attention to a part of their body! My “prosthetic” is hidden by flesh and blood. But if I had lost that arm, and it had to have been removed, hopefully I would’ve had a modern day prosthetic and not a Captain Hook’s type hook. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@rosemary288 i didnt see the question as invasive so i wasn't deflecting and i wasn't being sarcastic either. I have no issues at all with people asking about my leg, the problem i have is i didnt lose it wrestling a shark or anything interesting. I twisted my ankle just walking and ended up with CRPS and explaining it to adults uts met with disbelief, to young children i just try and joke with them. On that occassion the little un was a bit too much wrapped in cotton wool as with others they either laugh hysterically or try unscrewing their own belly button!

Goo Gone can work too.

seems like one of those situations you shouldn't modify the device if you want to keep it insured, but i'm a different kind of disabled so i may be guessing wrong

The warranties on these components are really strict and the components are PRICEY

No different than Nike, Coach, Chevy

It’s cause other prosthetic users don’t care about these kinds of things

@@anthonyanderson4039 Yes, bit I am nit even a user if prostetics or orthetics, and yet I love watching these bits! Joe raiding awareness for this little stuff is so amazing! I myself am not so good with noticing thise little things in other people, and that Joe posts all this helps me learning to look out for such little details and I have to say I can still learn a lot!

Instead the advertisers get paid exorbitant amounts of money.

To be fair. They can in most cases just not use it and hop around on one foot if they’re that against them.

@@nathanpfirman625 wtf

It looks to me the whole medical system in the USA is thoughtless and inconsiderate . Yes they should pay but they couldn't give a 💩 about anyone but themselves 😮😮.

I think the F looks like the Fender Guitar Logo- that'd be the only one I'd leave visible.

I’m not sure I follow as to why a company putting their logo on a product they produce brings so much misery to your life?

@@Toxic8arbarian Good thing it's not my job to teach you about empathy, bodily autonomy, or the many failings of late stage capitalism then.

@@Toxic8arbarianMany of us don’t want to be walking advertisements for the brands of whatever we wear. I avoid clothing and accessories that scream their brand name, mainly because I just don’t like their design, but also because I just don’t need to brag like that - and that *is* what wearing products with a prominent brand name is. I know who I am and am confident in that. I totally get why Jo doesn’t like the brand labels on her prostheses. I don’t know that there’s a status symbol element, but having *someone else’s name* prominently on an actual body part would be so very disturbing. I mean, that’s why I don’t even like clothing or purses that show those names or logos prominently. 😊 From a purely aesthetic POV, it interrupts the smooth expanse of color, at least with this particular prosthesis.

use nail polish remover or paint them if possible. make it your own artistic space basically.

@@Terminal_Boneitis ​It's very arrogant to impose your own ideology on others. This isn't inherently bad. The logo doesn't bring you harm or say anything bad about you. I'd wager the majority of people see the logo and think absolutely nothing of it. Your strong objection to it is completely based in emotion, so why are you projecting it so hard onto others, expecting everyone else to be the same? Practice what you preach and learn empathy.

Totally unrelated but cute cat!!!

You can use decals very easily on the solid surfaces. I get mine from eBay in a design they already have, or sometimes I'll send in pictures of custom work. Then you get it to the size needed and just trim it up to fit the curves. It stays on really well if you go with a reputable company, but it's also removable if you change your mind.

@@Birdnerd1968 Nice!! That’s even easier!

@@Birdnerd1968That sounds great - but the point is people should *have to* do *anything* to cover these things up. Emphatic emphasis on the necessity part. Any decoration you actually *want* to do is an entirely different matter.

@@wendyannh oh, I fully understand it sucks. I'm not an amputee but I'm a wheelchair user who relies on a lot of braces. It's really annoying that these companies mark up their products in such an obnoxious way. I was just giving tips on how I cover it up. I could maybe be ok with a shadow company symbol that was barely visible unless you looked up close (like those police cars with black on black writing that they call ghost cars). Or even better, let the customer decide if they want to add the brand sticker to the product. But it's annoying on a wheelchair that costs thousands of dollars that I need to see the symbols for the chair company on both sides, the tire company in bright white on black lettering, the seat company (yeah even the seat needs to tell everyone it's an overpriced $400 inflatable cushion), the seat back (not always the same company as the seat base or the wheelchair), etc. What's even worse is that it's not like the sneaker world where there's hundreds of brands and you need to distinguish yourself. In the medical equipment field there's usually only a few brands available and you can't usually pick what you get - insurance picks for you. Plus with just a few companies out there, people who use the products can usually identify a brand just by looking at the design without the need for branding. So someone still needs to ask to find out the model or design number. So the advertising is completely useless in these cases, which makes the obnoxious ads even more obnoxious. Plus if I see a wheelchair user in a chair I like, I'll just ask them what brand and model - I don't need to be sneaking up behind them to catch the brand name. I'll ask them face to face do they like it, is it comfortable, is it durable, etc? The way medical equipment is branded reminds me of those rhinestone studded sweat pants with "Juicy" or things like that embroidered across the rear. It's like "look at me" or I feel like a NASCAR car with logos all over it. ETA: it's also annoying in a professional setting. It's one thing to put stickers on a chair or leg for fun, but if you're in a high end business meeting it looks silly to have a flower sticker on there. So you're kind of stuck being a rolling or walking advertisement. And I'm not paying big bucks just to turn around and advertise for someone. If they want me to advertise, then they need to pay me.

@@Birdnerd1968I’m right there with you! My own wheelchair shouts the model name but not the manufacturer’s. It really doesn’t bother me, but when I found my DME provider had stuck their own label on the thing, that definitely didn’t make me happy, especially as their service got worse and worse. It’s kind of fun coming across people using the same model, like it is when you see someone else with the same car. I’m definitely not shy about asking other people about their chairs, or apparently modifications. Sociologically, I’m kind of intrigued by the way the whole universe of wheelchair users seems to exist and interact literally beneath the eye level of most people, almost in our own world. I just helped a friend get a class 3 chair, and I was appalled at the limited options for class 2s. If they hadn’t been able to get the class 3 approved, she likely would have ended up with a horrible chair that would have been much less durable and suitable overall than my class 1. What bothers me even more is how insurance won’t pay for so many truly necessary features, for both wheelchair users and prosthetics. The technology exists to make peoples lives so much better, like stair-climbing chairs, but insurance.

😂😂😂

Still it's weird they charge 30k for what's essentially a body part and _not one_ of the makers thought about what the wearer might prefer aesthetically. Part names are well and good when they're inside an engine block but these limbs will need to look good on the beach.

Try to buy a baseball type hat without a commercial name on it.

For real!!! This is not what we were talking about in the 90s with the super cool future! 😔 Late stage capitalism has all of the inventors too stuck in a job with no time to explore an idea, or genuinely broke/ living paycheck to paycheck. Perpetual increasing of profit- for the sake of profit- doesn't allow room for creativity.
