did you know one form of hypnotizing are advertisements on tv?
It reminds me of an advertising practice that was occasionally used in the late fifties, but subsequently banned.
I believe it involved flashing one frame every few seconds, of an image intended to make you hungry (if it was a food advertisement), or an image to give you a headache (if it was for a pain reliever). Stuff like that.
Just look up 'subliminal advertising'. The implications are a bit scary, as you can imagine.
Hypnosis is part of the advertising "act."

Advertisements need to be explicit about being advertisements
I've just started going through some hubs re the new Editbot when I noticed a change which:1) I don't like - they appear to be part of my text rather than adverts - and I don't like people being misled about what's my writing and what is business advertising. That suggests I endorse the link - and...
