Hyundai Uses Hypnosis To Sell I30

For the first time in recorded history, Hyundai is using true hypnosis to sell a car. Hypnosis expert Peter Powers designed an ”Online Hypnosis Experiment” for the new Hyundai i30. All you need is this computer, headphones, and 15 minutes of your time. Do NOT perform this experiment while at work!

Because some people complained that we had shown the picture of a naked dildo (as opposed to a dildo in a brown bag,) we will show more sensibility to the sensitivities of our readers, and will only show the trailer. The full hypnosis experiment can be conducted at hypnose.i30.nl, but only after the proper disclaimers, stating that anyone who takes part in the experiment does so voluntarily and with full knowledge of the intended results, have been executed.

    I'm fairly adventurous, I even go skydiving, but I don't like the idea of relinquishing control of my mind to some unknown power. I'll pass.

      Hypnosis only works if you are willing to let it work.

    It worked, but I'm now deeply and passionately in love with a car that doesn't even have a visible exhaust pipe... Actually, hypnosis is a load of nonsense - the subjects (like the ones in that video) are usually chosen because they're attention whores who don't need much encouragement to behave like tits.

    Well, I tried to participate, but I found the guy so completely boring I fell dead-out asleep…only to awaken with an overpowering desire to drive a Range Rover.
