Hypnotist Hyping a Social Network Mind-Control Party
He hopes to accomplish this ridiculous feat through the medium of social networking. By merely broadcasting his voice through Twitter and Facebook, Hughes claims that he'll be able to force people to hold their hands together and close their eyes. Such amazing feats! The so-called Social Trance phenomenon will be open to anyone over the age of 18, as long as they aren't pregnant, suffering from a mental illness, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Social networking sites have hosted mentalist and psychic shenanigans before, but it might be interesting to hear responses from the participants after this particular mind-control experiment goes down. If the process really does work, why not convince people to do something socially worthwhile? You know, like reading more tech blogs. [From: The Telegraph]

Judging from this guys picture, instead of hypnotizing people into improving his lives, he will just make them murder their families or something.
This kind of thing just isn't something you would trust a creepy looking guy to do...

Has no one mentioned that his site requires you to post your login details?
Bullshit like this normally covers a scam...

What a moron. You can only hypnotize a small percentage of the population, namely, other morons.
RomeolivesJan 4th 2010 4:54PM
Actually, the majority of people can be hypnotized. The general rule is that only the mentally handycapped and monkeys cannot be tranced. Which are you?

What a useless article.
That you are immature and insecure to the point of criticizing something you don't understand is pretty much normal. Most people are like that.
However the fact that you still seem to believe that hypnotism is some form of 'mind control' that can make people 'do things' simply shows that you are ignorant and poorly documented.

This is not the best story of this ev ent even if it is negative. I would like to see NO ONE HIT HIS site!. I'm watching to see if DIGG gives equal time.

I really resent the tone of this article. Why is it when people don't approve, agree with or understand something - they have to disparage it?
I am a licensed, clinical hynotherapist and it is a very valuable tool for people who disregard the garbage people like the author of this article write, and try it. Unfortunately those who spout off at the mouth about something they clearly know little-to-nothing about influence people and people who could be helped by an ancient technique of self-discovery, will continue to try other remedies that may or may not work, or try nothing at all.
This reporter, rather than simply reporting about a mass hypnosis event taking place today, instead has to throw in a few insults and opinion such as: 'celebrates nonsense', 'ridiculous feats'... using words such as 'merely', 'claims', 'force', 'shenanigans' and 'mind-control'. Is this objective reporting??? Isn't one of the first things you learn when studying journalism to report THE FACTS and KEEP YOUR OPINION TO YOURSELF??
I'm sick to death of the talentless, uneducated, unprofessional writing staff that supplies AOL with their worthless, slanted articles.

i thought mass hypnosis was done to simple minded obama supporters on election day?
xcurtisrayxJan 4th 2010 4:27PM
So true
beachburtsJan 4th 2010 4:34PM
I thought it was something done on a daily basis by Fox "News" to its viewers.
timnmmahhhhJan 4th 2010 5:10PM
No just to you Republitards who still think Bushie did a good job.
OctLady4UJan 4th 2010 4:45PM
Who in their right mind would sit there and possibly let themselves
be hypnotized? If it did work on some people , how will you know
what he "really" hypnotized you to do???
AriescamJan 4th 2010 5:08PM
Recall all those bums in Washington, DC while you're at it! LOL
dkrisher0Jan 4th 2010 5:31PM
I WAS HYPNOTIZED!! I clicked on the page to check it out so...I guess it truly works! LOL!
Lee Eric NewtonJan 4th 2010 5:46PM
Sounds something like Obama did to become president.
lking4trblJan 4th 2010 5:43PM
When the hypnosis works, I'll ask them all to send me $5 each.
grch750Jan 4th 2010 5:54PM
This announcement appears as though it's introducing something new. The trance-inducing phenomenon commonly known as "mass hypnotism" has existed and been used to exploit the masses for eons.
It's called religion.

repukes also have hurt this nation but you libturds take the cake. at least i know a illegal potus sitting in the oval office when i see one. oh and btw i see no difference between bush and obama, both sucks..
PJD120Jan 4th 2010 6:08PM
Okay, someone tell me this? Why are people being hypnotized anyway? And how are you going to know that there won't be any children or people with mental illness on facebook or twitter? This just doesn't sound right to me at all. I will be watching on facebook to see if something bad happens tomorrow.
