If this is for real it is scary - Lake City project

Apparently the update letter was also sent out by Lisa Jorgenson of the Lake Chapala Reporter [not to be confused with the Guadalajara Reporter], who had been one of the original boosters and who had posted the informational brochures on YouTube. At least she admitted she was wrong.

Its a facebook page

Advertisers are looking inside your brain: Neuromarketing is here and it knows what you want.

Brainsights promises to reveal what types of messaging grabs consumers the most on a subconscious level — not just what they, or ad execs, think they want — on the presumption that ads that rouse deep feelings in consumers make us more likely to buy a product or service

Neuromarketing

Maybe they should build it in the west end between the two Pemex stations, flat land and easier to make a 3 or 4 lane road

Or better yet, maybe they should build it in Miami where it would fit right in. The good folks in Joco already got screwed over once by a developer - they may not be as receptive a 2nd time.

Amen Flamingo.

I can't believe, I really can't believe, I just read a link from arbon. From the article linked:

"Brainsights uses headbands equipped with research-grade EEG scanners that map viewers’ brainwaves every two milliseconds while they watch ads, gauging their degree of attention, peaks and valleys of emotional connectedness, and how well they appear to be “encoding” the messages, or committing them to memory."

As someone with 25 years of experience creating advertising campaigns for the largest companies on earth, most recently the international launch of a new vehicle from a little Canadian outfit called Ford Motour Company, arbon, I can assure you that your neurons remain safely unpenetrated under the aluminum cap your wearing.

Oh, crap. I think I've been punked!

Who watches ads?

The people Lakeside that didn't know what time April 1st is in Spain, on March 31st Lakeside.

¿Did 250 persons really go to the meeting?

Exactly.
I put adblock on my laptop.  Poof.
I don't watch commercial TV.  Double poof.
I don't pay any attention to the billboards since they are pitched to young girls anyway. Grandma don't care no more.
The last ads I've seen are a year old copy of Vanity Fair in the doc's office last week and I literally cannot believe what they are attempting to sell since I've never seen anyone wearing anything like it......ever girls from D.F.

If I leave the tinfoil beanie off.........I'M SAFE !!

you must be truly amazing to do this all by yourself . i have worked for some agencies with multinational clients, owned one ad agency and a sales promo agency and was an independent consultant as well and we must not have been as smart as you because we always worked as a team.

arbon+pedro=un par de pendejos.

I had been thinking "Dueling Narcissists" but "par de pendejos" works for me too.

But they're just such terrible meanies. I'm emotionally devastated by their replies given the profound respect I have for both.

I know what you mean, Rosa. Knowing they will never love us cuts like a knife, doesn't it?

You will have to make do with Benjji, and a step ladder.

To bad bennie doesn't post on this board, as we could have "three of a kind", on our way to a full house.
Unlike the poker parlance of three of kind, these three would all be of the same suit..... i.e.,empty.

i believe you just described yourself and about four others for an empty vessel full house.

OK, I was lying; so I'll call and raise since you think I have five of a kind. The joker in my hand is wild, isn't it?

What the hell is an empty vessel full house? Does it beat a royal flush?
