Schizophrenia Is The New Ad Gimmick
Permalink  



Walking westward on Prince St. between Mulberry and Mott Streets, I heard a woman's voice in my head whispering, "Who's there? Who's there?" Not like I "heard" a woman's voice like when I wear flared jeans with skinny shoes and I "hear" a woman's voice in my head say, "Wait, you've got to be kidding?" but like an actual woman's voice in my head. This usually means I've had a psychotic break.

But! Then I noticed that, above a billboard for some A&E show called Paranormal State were some speakers that looked like hypersonic sound beams, a device which uses your skull as a speakerthat is, it transmits soundwaves that resonate against whatever surface they hit.

So when they hit your head, it sounds like the call is coming from the inside the brain-house.

The billboard says 73% of Americans believe and I'm assuming that that means 73% of Americans believe in ghosts. So if that's true, why try to convert the skeptical/not crazy 27% by beaming voices into their heads? That's just greedy. Also it leads to a lingering sense of serious mental violation. How soon will it be until in addition to the Do Not Call list, we'll have a Do Not Beam Commercial Messages Into My Head list?

Too funny.
Like, NGal has a different opinion than me so I should blast that speaker into her head? confused

My dad told me about this. They said they're trying to use it in war to distract/order to kill themselves. Or something. Yeah. New form of biological warfare! ^__^

OH! I think last time I was in Times Square that happened. Outside of a Broadway showing of Young Frankinstein. I heard, "It's alive, IT'S ALIVE!" But since I just saw the show, I thought it was just a memory of mine playing back.

Hmmm....Maybe it was.

That's kinda a good idea (better than the g*y bomb they invented ._.) but it must be illegal to abuse it on the streets like that. And pointless considering "73% of america believes in ghosts".

The poster advertising Paranormal State is saying that 73% of america believes in ghosts, but the speakers right next to it are different than normal ones; they kinda send out sound waves and you dont hear 'em until they hit you, and you're the only one who hits it I guess. So you think you're hearing voices in your head, or ghosts.

Yes, thay want people to believe in ghosts so they're doing that while advertising a paranormal TV show.

That's kinda funny; if what they're saying is true than only 23% of america do NOT believe in ghosts. What's the point in changing them?

I don't get how they work, but all you put sounded good to me. Paranormal State was good, no? =P

Forget how it works then, let's just say that it makes you think you're hearing voices in your head but you're not.

Yes it was.
