    People who don't blink

    Demtell type folk on TV, the tele shopper hosts, how come they never or very rarely blink?

    What is the appeal of these freaks? Are they members of the Borg or do they have eye drops on standby in between takes? Is there supposed to be a psychological reason for this? Do the general public purchase more from non blinkers than they do blinkers? Would I buy a car from a goldfish due to his uncanny ability to not blink?

    Now I remember why I don't watch much TV.

    Hey Dobbo, can't say I'd ever noticed before. I'll now be watching just to see if it's true ... could be a secret invasion from another planet ... where's Dr Who when you need him

    someone mentioned this to me the other day. An ad with a nice looking blonde (as if there is any other kind) his quote "I'd give her one, if she blinked" she didn't the whole entire ad not once. She held an unnatural, eye drying stare. She is not the only one, I saw a famous cricketer advertising a charity with his name associated to it, He blinked once in the ad.

    Is it subliminal messaging getting us to pay attention to their crap?


    How long can an average person last without blinking?

    Silence of the Lambs Trivia

    Anthony Hopkins studied videotapes of serial killers as part of his research for the film. After noticing that Charles Manson hardly ever blinked when he spoke, he did the same for Hannibal Lecter.

    How come a good percentage of my posts end up with someone posting something up about SOTL, it's like the Kevin Bacon Syndrome.

    Interesting though, so I have to learn not to blink to become a charismatic Cult leader
