greedo Subliminal messages

For the past 3 weeks now I have been receiving subliminal messages telling me to buy a new PC.

Yesterday I could stand it no more and I bought one even though I already have four which I hardly use and I don't need, nor can I afford another one.

Now the subliminal messages have gone away, but for how long?

Who is sending out these messages and how and why?

It is a well known fact that throughout history many countries have experimented with large scale mind control technology from the Nazis to the Communists to the American military with little success (?) until now it seems.

Is anyone else suffering with this?

Do you find yourself drawing up PC spec. sheets for no apparent reason? – I think this is one of the symptoms.

I blame 'Google' – I think they are behind this evil technology, either them or Amazon.

If you go to their home pages and slow down your monitor scan frequency – I bet you will see that every 100th frame looks like this >

BUY A NEW PC – BY A NEW PC – BUY A NE
UY A NEW PC – BY A NEW PC – BUY A NE
Y A NEW PC – BY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW
A NEW PC – BY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW
A NEW PC – BY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW P
NEW PC – BY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW PC
EW PC – BY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW PC –
W PC – BY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW PC – B
PC – BY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW PC – BU
C – BY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW PC – BUY
– BY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW PC – BUY A
BY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW PC – BUY A N
Y A NEW PC – BUY A NEW PC – BUY A NE
A NEW PC – BUY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW
NEW PC – BUY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW P
EW PC – BUY A NEW PC – BUY A NEW PC

This illegal practice must stop! Before I run out of money or tin foil to wrap around my head.

I think you need to get out more.
Look out of your window, can you see those shapes moving about? they are called "people" go and talk (communicate) with a few of them...

No conspiracy here, friend. It's merely your subconscious processing all the info you heard and read about Windows 8 and how undesirable it is to the many who have tested it so far. LOL

Hey, I'm doing something similar by tellling many people that this is the year to buy a new PC in order to get Windows 7. If they wait too long and buy a new computer next year they will likley get stuck with a Windows 8 PC.

Don't worry, you are on the right track!

Lol - Good answers.

Although if I went out and bought a MAC I would be very concerned for my mental health.

Well, at least you were not camped outside of Best Buy at 3 AM waiting for the latest Apple hardware. That's a good sign your mental health is not beyond repair.

I have no guilt in subliminal messages about getting another pc. . In fact I may make a detailed list of every 120mm fan, sticks of ram, thumb drives, blank cd, keyboards, monitors, mice, video cards, mobos, CPU, power supplies, hard drives, SSDs and too bad can't unload many copies of Win7
