TV Station Tries to Hypnotise Viewers

Posted by samzenpus on from the look-deep-into-my-eyes dept.

An Australian TV station is in hot water after an on-air stunt caused a wave of complaints. The station ran a live hypnotherapy segment designed to help viewers lose weight. After clucking like a chicken for a full minute, authorities at The Australian Communications and Media Authority found the station guilty of a number of breaches of the commercial television code.
