I'm so mind controlled.... (with added Lost)

So Derren Brown uses Mind Control to convince four ordinary (yet suggestible people) to rob a security van. What brilliant telly!! I swear, if Derren was so inclined he could take over the world without even batting an eyelid.

Hmmm, maybe we should get him to do the Don't you think Bush looks tired? thing. Let's overthrow governments the easy way.

I'm undecided at the moment if the Derren thing was real or not. The post-hold-up shakes and reactions seemed real enough, you can't act shivers (can you? maybe I missed that class - stupid hangovers). It was like a more elaborate version of the zombie game from the last series of Mind Control.

His Lordship is really getting into Lost, so much so that he's even dreaming about it. A recent dream included the Blair Witch visiting the beach, kidnapping Claire and Sawyer being up a tree (?) (I don't know either).

That Derren show was completely mental! :S
I mean, it's one thing to bring out people's aggressive streaks, but they would have to be completely off their rockers to think they could get away with a heist! I am kind of wondering if they were actors - bit too convenient having the *one* person who resists, and bit crazy how all the others were delighted to have their craziness broadcast to the nation :D
I reckon Derren HYPNOTISED them in a completely unethical manner so that they would do a heist. Allegedly.... :D

I'm getting back into Lost too now! It had, excuse the pun, lost me for a while, but it's back to the goodness now, and I was most upset that E4 weren't showing the next episode tonight, and that I have to wait another week, tsk!

I knew there was something on tv that I had missed last night. Damn.

AGHHHHH that Derren thing last night was kind of terrifying... I don't think it was a hoax, but it seriously looked like it was. :/ Ikhsfjdufeh I might going to see his live show in May!!! I am far too excited about this, considering I haven't even got tickets yet.

I watched the Darren Brown thing too but my main problem with any kind of show like that is just how much of it is real? For all we know it could still all be a set up, all acted and stuff...but then I'm a born sceptical so...it was fun though. I felt bad for that one bloke who was crying and calling Darren a bastard when he realised what he'd done.

I've had dreams about Lost. None lately though. My last dream was that I dreamt I was Kate. Which I just know was because EVERYONE says I'm like her. Which I'm not, at least not in the Action Heroine sense. I'd be utterly useless on that island, easily one of the first to die.
