Ok, so I go online and guess what article I see posted on AOL? It's about how they're coming out with a soda machine that uses a sound laser to say stuff in your head. Here's their link to the article about that stuff in Popular Science: The Article (http://www.popsci.com/popsci/science/article/0,12543,351353,00.html)
Ok, now my question is what genius came up with this crazy idea? This will be very annoying if it comes out. But it is kinda cool though. :D

Annoying, yes. And it sort of seems like a waste of money. It's not like I'm about to forget to drink Coke.
Still, it'll probably work, somewhat. Stupid stuff like that is always more effective than I'd like. But really, couldn't we think of a slightly better use for our new sound laser thingies?

that would be incredibly annoying. as if they don't have enough advertising around. they're starting to put it on bathroom stall doors now. and right above the urinals too. that is excessive

Can you say subliminal advertisement?

That is what this WILL be used for. Many people will think the voices are coming from thier head and will listen to them.

Scary thought, eh?

I can see it now.

Consumer walking by a Coke machine.
Machine sends subliminal thought to comsumer's mind: You will buy a Coke.
Consumer stops, turns around, and buys a Coke.

:shrug: The things they'll do, these days.

You know, its kind of a fact, that if something reminds you of a drinking fluid, you start to get a little thirsty... So, these lil messages are just gonna remind you of a drink, and you're pretty much screwed... you buy a pop...

That, or you walk by a Pepsi machine with Britney Spears on it, and you hear a really annoying voice sing that stupid Pepsi song, and you're pretty much screwed... you buy a shotgun...

Consumer walks by vending machine.
Machine plays Britney Spears' Pepsi themesong, followed by "Sometime".
Consumer buys shotgun, returns to machine.

BLAM!!

Cyclone

Yes, that example is indicated. It works.

Plus the neoghbours next door would be a good use for it during the summer. No more music-all-might heard from my place...

Think if they had personal versions of these things, and you could set a radius, so everyone within say 10ft could hear your music or something like that. But no they have to use it for advertisment.

And if there is a coke and a pepsi machine next to each other

Pepsi: Buy a pepsi dude, it's cool.
Coke: Coke is way cooler then that pepsi bitch.
Pepsi: Don't listen to that idiot, buy me.
Coke: NO, BUY ME.
Then they'll take everything over and put our minds in a fake dream world or Matrix, just remeber that there is no spoon.
