Actually most of us are so easily manipulated by lies and hearsay. How many bought Danon Yogurt because it contains probiotics ... that do nothing to increase health. Or plug their computer into a surge protector that can even make surge damage to a computer easier. Or believed Saddam had WMDs only because we were told to believe something that did not and could not exist.
How many spend money on cold remedies to cure the common cold (ie
Airborne) when nothing on those shelves actually cures or prevents sickness.
How many believed Jenny McCarthy because the stripper has big tits and blond hair? Many are that easily manipulated.
A majority only believe the first thing told. And then take an extremist denial when facts expose those myths. For the same reason that well over 60% of Americans knew smoking cigarettes increased health. Most people are that easily brainwashed.
