Was that supposed to be funny? It looked like a bad SNL skit. You guys don't actually believe that's real, do you?

Obviously those were not actors. They are just sad people.. who have "experimented" with various pieces of furniture around their house far too many times on lonely saturday nights.

Geeze.

Hipnotism is fool's business for the meek. To hell with it. Damned be all hipnotists. A pox on thee! From my sight ravenous beasts of ill-craft, may you dwell in deep holes filled with vomit.

We all allow Steve Jobs to hypnotise us a couple times a year, I don't see what the big deal is.

Hypnotism has it purposes. It has got a bad wrap with the showman on stage. I have someone that wants to try it on me.

Eeeh... I've seen similar... generally my ******** Alarm goes off.

That being said, there is a decent body of evidence that it does work with some people, but that actively fighting it makes it near-impossable.

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.
