I shoot in a club that uses a laser and the thought of this never crossed my mind before. The risk is greater when using a camera's video mode. Forewarned is forearmed.

Don't let this happen to you or anyone you know.

Lasers can leave a white streak across CMOS sensors. I've seen videos of this happen to Nikons and Canons. But yeah because Video is in Live View, your sensor is exposed a lot more. My G1 is mediocre in the dark so I doubt I would be in such a situation, but indeed be careful of lasers.

Woah, I have heard bright lights making vertical lines on the sensor but nothing like that in that scale yet.
Awesome radio

As long as the dark foundation of our nature, grim in its all-encompassing egoism, mad in its drive to make that egoism into reality, to devour everything and to define everything by itself, as long as that foundation is visible, as long as this truly original sin exists within us, we have no business here and there is no logical answer to our existence.
Imagine a group of people who are all blind, deaf and slightly demented and suddenly someone in the crowd asks, "What are we to do?"... The only possible answer is, "Look for a cure". Until you are cured, there is nothing you can do.
And since you don't believe you are sick, there can be no cure.

Here's a thought in sort of a question form: Would a filter of some sort, say one designed to combat florescent light, help to cure this issue?

For one, you shouldn't be pointing optical-view devices at lasers in the first place 
I understand this one is an accident, though.

That video is an extreme case. Most times it leaves a line of unusable pixels not destroying the whole sensor.
