and everything the ‘conspiracy theorists’ has been saying about project blue beam starts to sound a lot less crazy.

Hmmm… it would be ironic if those that use this method of advertising had to pass one of their billboards everyday on their way to work, wouldn’t it? Maybe a boycott of the products that use this? The disturbing thing would be to see it used for politicians and referendums during elections. They might be in use right now, more than we know. I’m willing to BET someone invents a device to block the effects of this.

This would make an awesome alarm clock.

You know what needs to be done? Someone needs to get one of those, hunt down the people that use them for advertising.. and get them back. Hehe.

Can’t wait to see how this is misapplied:

1. Number of schizophrenics or people hearing voices in their heads go up;

2. Can’t escape advertising in public, even with headphones or ear plugs;

3. People being startled or distracted and then having accidents;

4. etc. etc. etc.

Thanks for the correction, John. I saw that in the comments section after I posted. And I have to agree that this is pretty scary shit. I don’t doubt that it’s probably been in use for longer than we’ve been aware of. Walking in the city I pass a few ‘buzzing’, or noisy billboards quite often.

You know this isn’t hypersonic sound at all, but the Audio Spotlight by Holosonics. It was invented at MIT, not by Norris.

There is a spot in downtown Portland Oregon USA that has this effect. I know where it is. I know.

Oh that’s just fucking great. Really, this is all we need. It’s a pretty cool concept, but the idea of it being misused by somebody other than me, just gives me a bad feeling.
