6 Things You Won't Belive Can Brainwash You on Election Day

Edited on Mon Nov-01-10 05:07 PM by Zephie

Every once and awhile I try to post something with political humor in it because things are depressing and some of us are too tired to cry anymore but want to keep bombarding ourselves with depressing political things. Today I'm presenting you with Cracked.com's 6 Things You Won't Belive Can Brainwash You on Election Day, which addresses information about environmental factors which might inadvertently sway the votes of those who may not have strong convictions about candidates. It's a very interesting read and as Cracked.com is a humor site, it gives us the info with a spoonful of sugar while still citing and quoting the studies from which the information came.

Minor language warning.

3. Funny. And a little scary too. Is it really possible that these studies

are correct? Oh god. Has anyone here ever headed to the polls and not known who they were voting for before they got there? Are there really people like this out there?
