Twitter Mass Hypnosis Attempt Hypnotizes Many | Spoof News from theVoiceofReason.com

Dr Seth Mysterious, the world renowned stage hypnotist, who goes under the name HypnotistBob on Twitter, attempted to put thousands of his followers under his spell on the micro blogging site this Tuesday.

Police say they have so far received over 150 complaints from family and friends of people who were told to cluck and gobble like a chicken on the popular micro blogging site.

A spokesman for Stage Hypnotism Inc, told this website:

"Dr Mysterious gave clear instructions to Twitterers that they should cluck and gobble like a chicken for no longer than 30 minutes. Nothing could possibly go wrong, but in the unlikely event those affected continue to make these noises after this time, give them grain and allow them to sleep outside and it will eventually wear off. And in the meantime whatever you do don't show them a picture of a cock."

A reader recorded the incident that we publish below.

The transcript clearly shows the incident unfolding, with Twitterers talking happily about snacks they were eating when the incident occurred...

JayLeno How many chips can you put in your mouth at one time without breaking any? I can put 55.

JohnLeno Had enough chips now, fancy something sweet and creamy, any ideas?

HypnotistBob Click!

HildaSteen If you crunch the chips you've put in your mouth does that mean you increase the number of chips? So, say you had 40 chips in your mouth, after crunching once you would have probably 80. I don't really want to take them out to count them they feel all slimy is that normal?
