i like that idea.

i can very well see myself falling for that actually. if it looks like something i would be inclined to read when it would actually read what i'd think it'd read, i would read it even if it didn't.

Here's a new buzzword for ya - Underkill

Was running the train of thought through some thc coated neurons last night in bed and I began to wonder about degrees of impact relative to degrees of content vs mass appeal.

My theory is that a BIP pamphlet would have large impact on small numbr of readers whereas a chinese menu hack* would have small impact on larger audience.

Chinese menu hack involves scanning a genuine menu flyer - you know the cheap mono laser printed ones that they pay some kid to drop through all the letterboxes in the neighborhood?

Leave the whole thing intact, with no changes other than the addition of a chinese proverb at the bottom next to the phone no. -

also, another part of it, if we make the hack slightly more obvious, but the target-audience quite fanatic, they will see it as a parody, and will certainly read it, just because it simple has something to do with <target>.

for example this friend of mine collects anything even remotely connected with madonna, even the parody-stuff, when some local political party printed posters about a fake madonna-concert that would be cancelled due to budget cuts .. whatever! it's about madonna and he needs to have it.

RE: The name of this thread

This ties in with what TGRR was saying about blending in. I tend to think of vocabulary (in the context of mindfucking) as consisting of all aspects of communication, from non-verbal - the way you look and act, to multimedia presentation - the way your message is dressed up.

to give an example - At one point in my life I was seriously considering training to be a priest. I kinda had nothing better to do and, at the time, was on a very anti-religion trip. I figured that the best way to fuck with the sheep who were supporting the structure was to become one of the fuckers they were listening to. By changing the odd word in a sermon I reckoned I could accomplish more than gathering a band of satanists together and blowing up the vatican.
Heh.  Pent managed to sum up my avatar about a year and a half before I even got here.  I really do need to get off my ass and write something about that painting at some point.
