I have my mind controlled by the government, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies

"We've had volunteers, a lot of them," she said, the thick concrete walls muffling the noise from the college campus outsidescreams eminating within.

Fixed.

Damnit dude, I just started watching Babylon 5 and I am only in to season three.

Sure, I know what they look like but that's not the point. *covers face*

Remain calm, Comrade. Your government is in control!

Well, if anyone knows about controlling minds, it would be a former communist state.

Oh for Christ's sake. Does this look like someone who would be into bizarre Russian mind-control experiments? C'mon.

What are you talking about? America's money supply is infinite. If we run out, we can just take out a HELOC. It's not like you have to pay your debts back.

 
Daroc 2007-09-20 01:04:24 PM  
Isnt this the plot of S.T.A.L.K.E.R?

 
SoulSaver 2007-09-20 01:09:30 PM  
Why do we need mind control or anything else to stop terrorism here?

If you are an airport security worker, let everyone go through, but thoroughly check and background verify all male's that appear middle eastern.

Rinse repeat.

 
voodoolady 2007-09-20 01:19:56 PM  
I for one welcome our new Russian overlords.

 
Chemguy 2007-09-20 01:22:02 PM  
Based on the outcome, it sounds like the mind control works.

 
LowbrowDeluxe 2007-09-20 01:30:22 PM  
In Russian Mind-Controlled America, mind controls you!

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.


This guy is ready and he has lots of quarters.

Response time is a factor, so answer as quickly as you can.

Tell me what words come to mind when I say the following words:

 
Vorpal 2007-09-20 02:12:44 PM  
Captain, Van Gelder has made reference to a particular treatment room.

The term was "neural neutralizer".

 
Pvt. Party 2007-09-20 02:18:40 PM  
Cue the tinfoil hat pics!

 
TroyMclure 2007-09-20 02:40:59 PM  
Is that pic of said mindcontrol room a representation? It looks a pic ouf of a video game like Myst.

I was going to be upset if nobody posted that.

Stupid way to spend American tax dollars #143,598,123:

Give it to fake Russian scientists who are getting a laugh out of making up stupid reasons for making us stand in line longer at the airport.

/I mean... seriously.... right?
//I want my tax dollars back

Gear for testing MindReader 2.0 software hangs on a wall at the Psychotechnology Research Institute in Moscow. Marketed in North America as SSRM Tek, the technology will soon be tested for airport screening by a U.S. company under contract to the Department of Homeland Security.

OMFG you're gonna put the brain scanning helmet with TV imagers inside on passengers' heads as part of the screening process??

Uh... no. No no no. Bad scientist!

"Smirnov, a controversial Russian scientist whose incredible tales of mind control attracted frequent press attention before his death several years ago."

I've got some pretty awesome tales which also happen to involve Smirnov controlling my mind, among other things.
