Wow. This is even more disturbing than usual for your headlines, quamp. o_o

I really wonder if having the voice directly in your head will make that big of a difference, though. We already think in terms of name brands, and our mind associates day-to-day things with various television ads. We quote advertisers constantly in everyday conversation. It's pretty ingrained in there already, I'd say.

Technologically speaking, of course, that does make it a pretty awesome billboard... 0.o

This is worse than the people who bluetooth ads to your phone as you walk past their building.
I reckon most people people wouldn't be impressed by this and even boycott the product (I boycott products if the ads are tastelessly sexual in nature, I'd sure as heck boycott and product advertised to me on the sly)

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve, I have a history of losing my shirt...

Hmm. You've got a good point, Plant. Now that I think about it, doesn't this qualify as a human rights violation of some sort? I mean, we're practically guaranteed to be brainwashed by something or other in a consumer culture (whether or not we at some point get over it); something like this takes away what little power we have to try and avoid it.

Bluetooth? What'sit mean?

Anyway, quamp, you watch too much sci-fi. Or Stephen King movies. Or both.

People in stone houses should not throw glass.

Like you've got all these "wireless bluetooth accessories" for phones and computers but they really just work the same way as the signals that command a remote control car (different bandwidths though).

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve, I have a history of losing my shirt...

Why? Because he found an article in the news about something that's actually happening?

Actually, I don't watch that much sci-fi or read Steven King novels. (In fact, the only thing I read of his was an exerpt from his book on the writing process.) I just believe that people shouldn't have things directly beamed into their brains.

Bluetooth is a program found in most portable electronics (laptops, cell phones, etc.) that allows communication between those devices.

What if the company who spammed us some how managed to do what "Paranormal State" did? "Go download Fairy Tail" "Go download bleach".

Anyways, is there anyway to stop the companies from subliminal messaging, cause that's just plain creepy. Also, Carolyn, are you by any chance refering to Stephen Kings book "Cell", because that seems to remind me of this conversation

hi ppl im new

"A soul needs a purpose to live... and so I concluded that my purpose was to kill everyone besides myself. I felt alive..." Gaara of the Desert

"If you want to kill me, despise me, hate me, and live in an unsightly way... Run, and cling to life, and then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me." Itachi Uchiha.

NO! I just thought it was too ridiculous of a story to be true!
AND HOW CAN YOU SHOW ITALICS????? U have a Mac?
Oh, yea, the sci-fi......IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEND ADS INTO YOUR HEAD!!!!!

Um, I was just testing the thing to see if it worked.

People in stone houses should not throw glass.

Ofcourse there is, I haven't recieved any of these subliminal messages, so I can only assume that my telepathic mutant abilities are blocking them.

You all need to hurry up and evolve to my level so your mutant powers manifest.

Red don't you mean devolve to your level? Sorry, that was a bit uncalled for.

This is cool, but really should be banned, or at least let people know that they are entering an area that has this kind of ad, and mark the sidewalk to let them know that if you stand there, you will be subjected to this.

I don't have much of a complaint as long as this technology is used well, and never against someone's consent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've never has a heart, Never know love.

Yet you expect me to care, to care about you.

Now you're staring at me, You stare at me as your love fades to grey.

What did you expect, Did you expectg me to love, love you with a heart I've never had?

It's fine Reiko, if you believe that super powers developed through the mutant gene are a devolution then that is your choice. *Levitates his drink accross the room* Mmmm grape and mango.

Oh my Gosh - that cracked me up.

So my advice to you is just to be a sweet pickle and everything will turn out for you in life - everything.

I've always wanted to be a mutant like the x-men. I loved nightcrawler.

Anyways, i like your idea Reiko, but i can totally see companies complaining that this would be a waste of money.

"Amor, amor, nada hay peor ni mejor" -proverbio

Yeah Nightcrawler is cool, not as uber as Colossus though. Anybody on MP actually read any of the X-Men comics or know much about X-Men?
Hmm I've got a bit off topic here... but yeh I would quite like to get some of these psychic advertisements, would love to see what they feel like :D

Carolyn: No, I don't have a Mac. You type in italics by using BBCode tags. There's a link at the bottom of the comment box that explains how to do that. ;)

Let's snap back to reality here.
There is no such thing as telepathy, at least the kind that's scientifically provable.
The whole point is that there are dangerous technologies out there and you have to be aware of them and take steps to stop yourself from falling victim to them.

If you've ever seen the anime Welcome to the NHK, you'll have some understanding of what I'm talking about.
