re: #15 Killgore Trout

lol. Of course I always get suspicious when another “scientific study” goes viral on the internet. Like the rest of them, this one looks like another generic marketing study made to look nefarious and spooky. It’s no secret that websites and advertisers look to see what works and what doesn’t. It’s a bit like saying “Johnson & Johnson uses mind control study to make you buy soap!”. Of course, on some level they do but that’s just effective marketing.

Uh, they manipulated people’s Facebook feeds to see if they could create a reaction. That’s not a “marketing study,” its a sociological experiment, on people who didn’t know they were being used this way.
