No, he's pointing out that some of these are conspiracy bullshit. RLS is real. I can attest to that. Just like SAD is. My aunt has that and has been diagnosed since the early 90s. This guy is running way too far with the whole Pharm sales rep thing. Just like he's running way too far with the PR news stories. It's no secret that public relation spots are run in newscasts. These are the first to be thrown into a newscast and first to be pulled out of a newscast depending how much there is to report that day. They're called throw-away stories for that reason.

Chatroom bots that advertise are easy to spot out. If you're fooled by them, then you're a moron. Same with the cell phone voicemails. They don't get there by chance. It's by you giving your number out to something/one that collects it for that reason. Don't use it on those forms you fill out on the interweb. Put in random digits.

I had a book on subliminal advertising that had a bunch of ads. But there was also a Playboy centerfold from the early 70's. The centerfold itself was standard, non graphic Playboy fare. As most guys my age will remember, on the other side of the centerfold was the Playmate's stat sheet and opposite was some pics and some text. One of those pics was an inconspicuous picture of the Playmate sitting in a grass field with her leg bent at the knee. No big deal. When you held the centerfold up to the light, transparent was the leg from the picture on the other side that looked like a dick going straight up her ass. Coincidence? I don't know.
