   I think it’s meant to be worn on yourself … like perfume. But it’s still creepy as h3ll.

   Hey, Sonja! Yeah, I get that you are supposed to spray it on yourself, but, if it works, what’s to stop someone from spraying it on other people?

   Well … I don’t it think it would work.

   The idea is that it creates trust in the person who is wearing it. So … why would you want to spray it on someone else?

   It’s like reverse rhohipnol (sp?) … it lowers the natural inhibitions that we have towards those who are not known to us. But with rhohipnol, it has to be ingested by someone else and then their inhibitions are lowered. But with this spray … you wear it, and then it gives off a scent so that other people’s inhibitions are lowered (supposedly … I’m not so certain that it really works … I’m just saying this for the sake of argument here). But it wouldn’t make any sense to spray it on someone else, because then people’s inhibitions would be lowered towards that person. Not you. Since the ultimate goal of these things is to control other people’s behavior in relation to yourself, it doesn’t make sense that anyone would spray it on other people without them knowing about it. You wouldn’t gain anything from it.

   However, knowing that this stuff exists is going to make me very suspicious of everyone I feel like trusting for no reason from now on. So … maybe it just backfired ;)

   @Chris - So do I, bro. But the recent growth spurt at IMG has required almost every single moment of my time … and moments of time I don’t have. :)

   I hope to see you tomorrow.
