A great article from cracked (http://www.cracked.com/article_16656_6-brainwashing-techniques-theyre-using-on-you-right-now.html). A must read for everyone that visits the vs forum.
It's funny, as I read each one, I thought of several threads (and posters) of the past in this very forum.
Please read and discuss.

haha good read, i dont believe much of what the news or main stream media says. we got to start listneing to eachother right? wait i feel funny writing that is that a form of brainwashing i just used, lol.
all in all your brain can only be washed if you let it, or are extremly ignorent to what and how people are.
good way to show that if you want truth you have to find it your self and not just take some ones word.

Sounds like a simplified version of Robert Anton Wilson, particularly "Prometheus Rising" - right down to the titties.
It was a fun read.
Now are you going to come to the titty bar or are you some kind of $$$?

Holy shit. Cracked still exists? I remember when it was a half-decent MAD ripoff. I also remember when it was a fucking abysmal MAD ripoff, but I like to pretend that that never happened.
I also like to pretend that they didn't bring Aeris back for Advent Children, never made Warrior Within, and that the Hindenburg never crashed, making the Zeppelin the most popular form of air transport today.

camoor was kiddin', toots.
Funny read. Cracked has apparently moved from being, as our resident North-North American says, a Mad ripoff to being another internet humor site. Sigh.
Still a funny read. And quite on point. Though I tended to see much more in the way of examples vilifying the right versus the left (for a change ;)).

They're certainly right about accusing the media of being "the enemy". Don't want to answer the question? Just paint the interviewer as being against everything your supporters support.

In reference to #6, they posted a picture of Alex Jones bullhorning but with no caption or explanation.
What the article failed to tell you is that Alex is well aware of this technique and openly admits to doing it. He was chanting "9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB" during the Chris Matthews show during DNC '08. He uses a brainwashing technique to remind you that YOU'RE being brainwashed. Some consider it "fighting dirty." Others don't. Thoughts?

Notice how Chris Matthews has trouble concentrating.

Pretty good.
And chalk me up as another "This is what Cracked does now?" oldster.
