Wal-Mart manipulates its customers

Posted in AV, Stupid by Derek at 9:00 am

Could you imagine the day stores harnessed the ability to manipulate customers into purchasing items using hidden messages and mind games? “Pick me, pick me, pick me”.

    That was some funny stuff, however I fear the ‘documentary’ missed the bigger worry. Standing outside the store, for miles around could be heard the subliminal echo of the corporate giant’s machine crowing for its customers: “come to us, love us, come to us, you want us!”

    SCARY!!

    hahaha, yeah, just joshing, killed 3 minutes of my time…. why not.

    Also, why would it be so important to get a quick sale due to the longer time someone spends around a product they ‘talk themselves out of buying it’, when this implies the opposite?

    Finally, subliminal advertising it illegal. If any evidence came forward about this then Walmart should be pwned.

    hehehe, this explains everything…well except the God part I guess.

    As for the voice I’m pretty sure it’s a Cepstral voice, it might hurt your hears, but really they are damn good!

    THAT’S FUC***NG BOGUS, the prices are cheap enough to get it. if you got the same products as in bloomingdales, or some overpriced mall or megastore

    i ll go for it, WALMART is cheaper than KMART.
