This is all obvious information that any knuckle head can conclude themselves. But in the midst of me thinking about all the crazed fans for this movie, it hit me. I know how we can solve a bunch of our problems, not only in this country, but the world. It will take a little help from subliminal messages. I know it might not be "ethically" correct way of thinking but honestly we haven't been doing that great of a job on our own thinking.
This is my concept; put little positive subliminal messages into blockbuster movies, such as the new Twilight movie. Subliminal messages can be in either visual or audio capacity and normally are done without anyone ever knowing it. For example; let's say you are sitting in a jam packed movie theater watching Bella confess all of her love for Edward or Jacob (I wouldn't know) when all of a sudden you feel the urge to donate blood tomorrow. You can't recall why this need to help possibility save another life has all of a sudden come into your thought process. It would have been because of a small subliminal message that was put into the audio of Bella's speech that your mind didn't really comprehend enough to allow you to notice it.
Can you imagine all the good we could get if movies were allowed to do this kind of semi-hypnosis? I may be the only one who thinks this is logically a good idea but I'm only trying to think of good ways to get people to stop being so selfish and help out people in need. What would it hurt is a small subliminal message in a movie told you to donate blood, recycle all of your cans/plastics, carpool, donate your time at a homeless shelter, or even start a canned food drive. Let's be honest, I need to practice what I preach but a little motivation given to myself would go a long way. I am an avid movie viewer and if the Matrix told me years ago to start putting away $10 a week into a saving account, I would have a nice chunk of change to invest at the moment.
Now of course there are a few flaws in my basic concept. Anemic people can't just go giving blood. I'm not suggesting a full on Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom trance by a voodoo doctor. Just like a small hint in the normal audio that maybe up-lifts people enough to help out. I've heard of soda machines that have a small audio subliminal message that encourages you to buy a soda. This doesn't mean diabetics are running like zombies to chug down a sugar-packed Mt Dew.
Some might think my idea is "morally" wrong but that's why it's my idea. Just imagine walking out of a movie theater and feeling really good (cause the movie was awesome) because tomorrow you are going to the local blood drive to give a piece of yourself that might save others. The media these days swindles us into believing certain things anyways, yes I'm calling out you msnbc and fox news, so why not Hollywood too. Apparently Disney has put some small visual subliminal message into their movies over the years. I might be on the wrong track off thinking, but who's really on the right track these days? The government? That makes me chuckle.
Until Next Time... I'm Just Sayin!
