What's the best way to brainwash small children?

Ah children. So small, so cute, so…innocent and unknowing!

I have many experiments in mind for when i eventually reproduce which include telling my offspring that there are no such thing as kangaroos but just mice which are very very close. I’ll most likely also reprimand them for spinning round and round on the grounds that they might stop suddenly and their face will slide straight off their head :smiley:

Naturally enough my thoughts have occasionally drifted to what type of brainwashing i would like to engage in. Telling them that suchandsuch a team is better than all the rest or that they can fly if they think good thoughts seems a little…tame.

The initial link on this thread leads me to wonder if that would be any good at brainwashing children to enjoy eggs. If it works for McDonald’s and Coca Cola then surely it would work for other foodstuffs/behaviours. Does anyone think that positioning a laptop in front of an infant at breakfast time and playing the egg song would be useful in getting them to eat eggs? Would it work for broccoli? Cabbage? What else could i use the power of the internet for that is slightly-evil-but-not-actually-harmful?

Maybe I’m being whooshed here, but why would you want to deliberately mess with your kid’s head?

Yeah, there are plenty of schools and churches willing to do that for you.

:d&r:

why wouldn’t you?
imagine…an army of little, pink, furless robots that do what you want…or course, they stumble around like drunken seamen in the process (that’s what drunken semen does, i tell ya) but that makes plans for world domination oh so charming, don’t you think?

It won’t take that much effort. Small children adore their parents and look upon them as gods. They will want to do everything you do, exactly as you do it. It’s very gratifying (sometimes.)

Then they become teenagers and it all goes to hell. :slight_smile:

Hehe - yeah i’m not expecting the effect to last. But it could be fun for a few years :smiley:

you need you some reverse psychology, wimmin.
make them think you’re incapable when they’re younger…then it’s only uphill from there. they’ll start extolling your virtues when they get older and everyone is happy.
then, when they’re older, they can say “damn, my parents aren’t as stupid as my friends’ parents are…”
then the effects are longer lasting.

delay your gratification! skip the emotional and psychological foreplay just this once.

Freudian Slip: The act of meaning one thing but saying a mother.

Or am I being whooshed?

yeah, that’s a woosh-ie. i meant what i typed.

booyah!

hehe i think you had sex with a camel there…er, i mean you got whooshed :wink:

Wow! Those InstaSubtletySense subliminal hypnosis tapes really paid off for me, didn’t they? :frowning:

And now for an oldey but a goodey:

I made a Freudian Slip with my father. I meant to say “Please pass the salt,” but instead it came out “You prick, you ruined my childhood!”

You need to play those tapes backwards you know?

I tried it, but I just wound up hanging around the house all day worshipping Satan.

And I still kept getting whooshed on message boards.

Well you should only worship him during December. It’s SO tedious seeing all those ads on TV for toys, jewellery and cool stuff too early. I mean who wants to see that in September?!

You know, I think that company has subliminal EndLesdyxia tapes. I’ll see if I can find the catalogue.

Just don’t play those babies backwards, or you’ll really be hurting.

OMG the perfect threat!!!

Babyzels: waaaaaaah!!!

Mummyzels: If you don’t shut up i’m putting you back.

:smiley:

If they’re dyslexic, shouldn’t they be going haaaaaaaw?

i don’t care so long as the lil B@*$"'s shut up when i am reading.

Should i tell one of them that they are really a gorilla? i heard that someone did that once and it went well.

Tell them to be careful playing in the woods because of hoop snakes.

What are hoop snakes?

(Could i pull that one off in the UK? We don’t really have proper scary animals here).
