Talk About Invasions Of Privacy, Here's a Doosey

And for this technology to be used in this unforgiving manner is simply beyond the pale of normal and acceptable advertising practices and should be halted immediately and not replicated for any reason whatsoever.

I've never even heard of this technology until now and again once you do I'm sure you'll agree it's an abominable invasion of ones personal space in ways never attempted before.

Hear Voices? It May Be an Ad

Advertising Age - News: "NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- New Yorker Alison Wilson was walking down Prince Street in SoHo last week when she heard a woman's voice right in her ear asking, 'Who's there? Who's there?' She looked around to find no one in her immediate surroundings. Then the voice said, 'It's not your imagination.' No, he's not crazy: Our intrepid reporter Andrew Hampp ventures to SoHo to hear for himself the technology that has New Yorkers 'freaked out' and A&E buzzing.

No, he's not crazy: Our intrepid reporter Andrew Hampp ventures to SoHo to hear for himself the technology that has New Yorkers 'freaked out' and A&E buzzing. Indeed it isn't. It's an ad for 'Paranormal State,' a ghost-themed series premiering on A&E this week. The billboard uses technology manufactured by Holosonic that transmits an 'audio spotlight' from a rooftop speaker so that the sound is contained within your cranium. The technology, ideal for museums and libraries or environments that require a quiet atmosphere for isolated audio slideshows, has rarely been used on such a scale before. For random passersby and residents who have to walk unwittingly through the area where the voice will penetrate their inner peace, it's another story" continued

Not much respect for those poor schizophrenic peoples out there amongst us that may be terribly scared and freaked out by this brutal invasion of space in the name of advertising dollars and mind control. How offensive this abuse of technology is to me I cannot adequately convey here.
