do NOT press this link
 
this is a test to see if the power of negative suggestion really works

i have told you not to press the link

and as you are now reading this, you have pressed it, so if you could please leave a reply, just saying why you pressed it, and how you felt, that would be great

if and when you tell your friends, do not say what is inside this link, as this is a private experiment, and i would not like it to be ruined

thank you

Someone's been watching Derren Brown.

I hovered over the title to see what it said.

Snap ^^^^
Also I wasn't sure if it meant do not click on link in the post not to the title link. So I only failed a little!

BeautyFiend 10-05-2008 02:56 PM

figured there'd be a link in the thread which I shouldn't press.

^ Same.
Plus, if someone says not to do something, it makes you want to do it more. It's just how it works!
& the 'adult' label probably makes more people press it too.

i felt rebellious!

its an idea from Derren Browns-trick or treat last night, where this girl was told not to press a button or she'd electricute a kitten.there was more to it then that but the gist is thathe regressed her to a younger age and she ended up pressing the button.

cos i thought there woudl be an explanation inside, with a link not to press

Puppet Strings 10-05-2008 03:09 PM

Yeah, I thought there'd be a link in this thread too, which you were advising us all not to press - perhaps some type of virus, etc.

I was wondering whether the link inside would breach RYL rules too, so I was being all suspicious-y too. Yep, I lack trust. :P

same.

greggles666 10-05-2008 03:22 PM

you have asked for an explanation
so here it is
basically, i got slightly bored and decided to use one of the great derren browns techniques

i'll put a link in if you want lol

basically my general idea of this was purely to see if it really worked, and whether or not the whole thing on derren brown was a con, which as i have proved in the last hour of creation, its not

i am extremely thankful of you all commenting on this
and i hope that none of you tell your friends about this, as i would like the experiment to continue

Bleeding Angel 10-05-2008 03:57 PM

everything on that show is not real, its part of the illusion that you kinda belive its real when its not

Caru y Nos 10-05-2008 05:02 PM

haha, i have RSS link so the thread appeared and i didn't have a choice whether to see or not... though i would have pressed it because i don't respond well to been told what to do when there is no legitimate reason for me to follow what oders i have been given... and i am sceptical of what i am generally told to do anyway :P

-Shae-Lynn* 10-05-2008 05:17 PM

I do what I'm not supposed to, and I thought there would be a link inside.

limey. 10-05-2008 05:32 PM

I only got to watch like 10 minutes of Derren Brown last night.. :(

Eve of D. 10-05-2008 05:36 PM

i thought there was a link inside too, but i woulda pressed that also lol. it does make u want to if someone says not to, cause there's gotta be a reason and i wanted to know what it was :P

Caru y Nos 10-05-2008 06:36 PM

But it was a person with no authority... more people would have followed the order of a mod!!!
