Google for “i-Doser”
Yeah, audio-meth.
it’s more than a fail. it’s a catastrophe
Tried it, didn’t work
I looked this up. The actual videos sound like a vampire by a mic, I suppose if you had it loud enough you might wince and convulse a few times as your ears bleed.
One of the warnings about this had an orchestra playing something and it actually caused me to feel weird. Of course with my allergies, a lot of sounds mess with me to some extent. By weird, I mean like someone has put a pillow or bottle over your ear.

interesting I didn’t know that vampires were for real or that anyone would recognize one by voice….
God you’re depressing.
Well if vampires were real, when they came near a mic they would put off a similar sound. It is like if you saw a distortion on a picture it would look like something cloaked; yet cloaking like that isn’t real either. It is all based off of vampire lore.
nice trollin
whats this all about?
damn crazy kids these days
Even being a kid myself I have to agree, this is just bull.
R E T A R D E D
EPICally so…Dare I say EPIC+1 to the exponent of elebenty.
And nobody got fired for this….nor was directed to an immediate CAT-scan to determine whether brain-death had occurred…..in a “news” organization….I did not realize that Monty Python was actually a credible school of journalism.
I ask again…….Where is that Stupid-Tax I keep yelling about? $5 for every instance of “stupid”. America would eliminate it’s deficit in days with this in effect. It is the new American cash-crop grown from lackluster education-funding!
We should be harvesting “conservatives”, not just letting them run free in the streets! This is an untapped economic resource that we should have used decades ago! Pure, cold-pressed conservativism is more valuable than gold these days. Have you seen Jon Stewart’s paycheck, much less Stephen Colbert’s?
You owe me $10. 5 for spelling “sequitur” wrong and another 5 for the ” ‘ ” in “it’s” when you clearly meant “its”
Just saying. Spell check and a good education are in order before you criticize others
Spellingnazi???
Spelling Nazi is in two words ….
Sentences end with periods, and there are no spaces in a decimal number.
Foot in mouth. Ignore the decimal number part, hehe.
Actually, you were are correct in pointing out that it was poorly done. The way it was written was in bad form. Technically, when writing you are supposed to spell out numbers. Had the spelling critic spelled out the numbers as someone with a “good education” would have done, there wouldn’t have been any confusion on your part as to their meaning. Basically, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
TECHNICALLY, you spell out numbers when they are single digit (one-nine) and use numerals when they are ten or greater. Also you always remain consistent in your typing of numbers which is why I spelled ten rather than using numerals. If, instead you had typed a number greater than nine, and used numerals, then you would continue to use numerals even on single digit numbers. Don’t be a grammar or spelling Nazi on the forums unless you are going to do it all the way!
You’re also supposed to avoid starting sentences with digits.
One should also be sure to check their own spelling, grammar and punctuation before berating someone else for theirs.
OR, one should notice the point that Duecethehero is making is that it’s very entertaining to watch someone who cannot conform to the proper usage of the English language berate the “lackluster education-funding!”
@ ME. He was just further proving his point. If he received “lackluster education” himself, you can not expect his grammar to be perfect.
I think you mean to say, ” One should also be sure to check ONE’S own spelling,” .
BEST…IDEA…EVER.
No no no… News Report Fail.
exactly.
Education Fail for me. When people are so stupid that they will not just believe this news story, but actually be the point of it?
Any writers for Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show” see this? Anyone?
This is why I don’t watch the news….I can’t stand any more tragedy….The fact that this ever even aired is a recursively-infinite fail of mind-boggling proportions….
What under-funded public-education has made of this world….Someone kill me now, I can’t take the stupidity any more.
Goodbye, [s]cruel[/s] stupid world!
stop commenting with inane pseudo intellectual babble and hyphenating words that don’t need to be hyphenated (“public-education”, seriously?) on the subject of other peoples’ stupidity. either you’re a troll, or you’re just making yourself look like a hypocritical jackass. learn to write, then you can criticize the intellect of whoever you want.
oh, and also stop misusing ellipses.
Fegli you complete me.
The ellipses were starting to piss me off. Hats off!
Unnecessary and excessive use of “that.”
Now we have brackets…you know incorrect use of sic , ad hoc or i.e. is a nut hair away!
Grammarnazi, you FAIL. Where is your proper capitalization? That question mark should go AFTER the close parenthesis. Learn some proper capitalization, then you can criticize the grammar of who ever you want.
Grammar Nazi is in two words ….
[wow .... deja vú ....]
Wait! What?
Informative indeed…what is this?
Just another fear-mongering media outlet looking to scare us into watching their garbage. When the Internet got big, it was all the news programs telling us that it was a source of evil. Now they all have websites. I suppose, now, we’ll have a government investigation into electronic drugs. Regulatory committees, calls for legislation, banning media content…
i agree
i-dosing. Basically just listening to some constant tone for 15 minutes to get you “high”
All in all, it is just sensory deprivation. After 15 minutes with your eyes shut, not moving, listening to a constant tone, the brain starts creating its own stimuli.
It just gives me a headache.
Digital drugs= Lame. Come on, seriously? Is that what kids are into these days??
Yo man wanna buy some digi-dope?
its virtually free
Their called “Binaural Beats” they are just repeating frequencies supposedly equivalent to the ones your brains produce when it is under certain situations. Some work, some don’t, mainly those used to induce non-chemical natural effects like sleepiness or relaxation tend to have more of an effect than the ones that’d supposedly simulate any sort of “high” they tend to do wonders for insomnia though.
… Uh? I must be missing something big, here.
Yes, you really are. How could you have missed it? Try to keep up.
I’ve tryed the Marijuana dose and it worked a bit. It feld like I was stoned but not as stoned when I smoke marijuana.
So it realy works, but don’t kwow fo the other doses.
Gotta love the placebo effect.
Yep. And a touch of the Ganzfeld effect in some of these cases.
I tried it, but it failed miserably. Or maybe I failed miserably from not getting “high” from it?
Anyway, seems to be silly season again.
IE6 = fail
(youtube gives even a message that the browser is not supported)
Upgrade. Seriously, nobody supports IE6 any more.
Internet user fail for still using IE6. Join us in Todayworld using any number of modern browsers like IE8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Opera.
How about we just not use IE for anything? I mean, I still use win95…as a coaster…
Not a fail because the browser isn’t cool enough — although obviously IE of all stripes sucks — using IE6 is a fail because it’s such a much, much, much more vulnerable browser than any other option out there. However, since many corporate IT departments are married to it due to the in-house deployment of intranet apps which require that old dinosaur. So Robin might well be browsing from work, where he/she has no control over what browser is used.
If only this was real you could just download an mp3 of your prescription meds. High blood pressure, diabetes, or simple back pain, you would never have to pay expensive premiums again.
Big Pharma would never let THAT happen!
If that was the case then you would soon find an excise tax on what you hear. I can see it now. 50$ fine for hearing a car horn without a prescription. 100 Dollars for a train horn! Oh My! Imagine the new insurance premiums and liability suites for musicians…
From what I’ve heard, it actually does work, but the effect is purely psychological, so it would work on some things, but only simple things, and only temporarily. So a certain “I-dose” might make your brain not believe you have back pain, so your back would stop hurting, but once you stopped listening, the pains would come back.
I-dosers work on like 80% of people. I did an experiment on my friends.
I-Doser’s binaural beats stimulate your brain so it releases the same endorphins without the need for starvation or strenuous exercise or physically harmful and addictive drugs. it works, its safe and its effortless.
You’ve been scammed by the snake oil salesmen of the 21st century.
Look up binaural beats, isochonic tones and brainwave entrainment. It does sound outlandish, but with as little as some sound you *can* manipulate your brain so much that it shows up in an EEG.
Look up naive, amazingly, it’s not in the dictionary.
Listening to The Beatles or Miley Cyrus can manipulate your brain enough to show up on a EEG. Your brain responds to stimuli and changes. It doesn’t mean you are getting high.
Oh stop being such a pansyarse.
A one day fast never hurt anyone, and strenuous exercise will only make you live longer.
The Idoser is moronic even for scams. At least some of them are useless, letting the placebo effect do some good. The IDOSER is so annoying you’d most likely get a killer migraine.
Doesn’t that often render you impotent temporarily?
If you have a problem, yes. Otherwise you can push 2-4 more out.
I tried it, it only made me light headed.
What kind of s**t is happening in the world that kids are getting high with sounds now?
xDDD
Hey, let ‘em do it. Leaves more room in the gene pool for me.
I’d do drugs if I lived in Oklahoma too
Excuse me?! Have you even ever been here? Rude much?
I’ve been to Oklahoma. I’d do a lot more than drugs if I lived there.
I’ve also been to Oklahoma. I still do drugs when I need to forget it.
yes. I have been to Oklahoma. I’m just stating my opinion, so no, I don’t think my statement was rude at all.
Is “funny” is now considered a drug?
I actually remember when I was younger I’d have such a giggle fit that I started feeling high after the fit.
IE6.
Now that’s a trend fail!
yeah i’m from Mustang, Oklahoma(where this story was) and i go to this high school and i can personally tell you everything was retarded for weeks last year.that stuff is all in your head if you think you can get high off it you will.like a sugar pill…that being said we couldn’t bring ipods to school for the rest of the year
so, anybody got an old walkman since compact cassettes are analog?
binaural beats are able to affect the brain. trying to reproduce a drug is another story tho
Really?! I mean, REALLY?! Was there nothing else to report about?! OMG!! We’re all effing doomed if humanity is this stupid?! Digital drugs?! Who would swallow such nonsense?!
why… why do i live in oklahoma -_-
I remember hearing about 20 years or more ago that some kind of audio-therapy was being used as an alternative to medication in treating sea-sickness.
Srsly..why would your average teen waste time with this when there’s perfectly good nutmeg in mom’s pantry.
I know, right? What happened to the good ole’ days of real drugs. Stupid kids getting high on placebos, try myristicin, THC, caffiene, nicotene, etc… “idosing” is soft… just soft…
Can someone explain this to me? I watched this video and I have no idea what the hell they are doing.
The news team, or the “druggie-teenagers”? I don’t think there is an explanation other than the stupid reporting on the retarded in a news-like process….
This is sort of like how American “cheese” is made *with* milk, not *from* it, this is American “news” made *with* information, and not *from* it…
Oh, News 9. You have Gary England and a kickass meteorological team, but then you cover stories like this.
Is that what kids are calling these days?
Lamestream Media at it’s worst.
Using the phrase Lamestream Media = Fail.
It’s not funny. Stop saying it. Please. Just annoying. Really annoying.
Chillax, man!
Anyone notice how stupid the “reporter” is?
“It’s these images that has[sic] parents… concerned.”
This reminds me of when some of my 15-year old acquaintances bought some wretched ditch-weed – not even real pot, but the stuff they used to make ropes out of. In a few minutes, they were laughing and giggling and yelling and jumping around, and claimed to be hallucinating. An older person who had actually smoked weed before took some and said that all it was good for was a headache.
Lets just say that people that age are very suggestible.
Also give a bunch of teenagers punch. With no alchohol in it. But tell them there is. You’ll have a bunch of pissed drunk teenagers in a matter of minutes.
Heck, some of them will actually believe it too.
It’s not only teenagers, this is an actual phenomenon called the placebo-effect. It is scientifically proven that the effect of alchohol and whatnot is largely psychological
To everyone calling it a scam, do a google search for brainwave synchronisation. This technique has been around for decades, I remember creating my own brainwave-synch patterns in the 90s with cool edit pro… it can also be found at most big festivals (although they intensify the effect with visuals as well as the headphones).
). Changing the frequency gradually over time causes the brain to match the frequency… different freqs produce different brain states.
It works by forcing your brain to synchronise at the same frequency as the audio source (which is usually pink noise, not to be confused with white noise
While the science behind this is amazing, the reality of the situation is moronic. For one, external stimulus that creates an altered mental state does not count as a drug. Like that other guy said, we might as well then count sex and exercise. We’ve known for centuries that sounds can produce altered states- why do you think music is so enjoyable!?
Second, mainstream media: I blame YOU! Quit fear-mongering and start promoting the legalization of pot. At least then kids will learn some gardening and glass-blowing skills in their off-time instead of just sniffing glue and vegetating on the computer all day.
WTF
Just when parents thought is was to play your albums backwards this crap hits. Okies won’t ever be able to have technology, and I was hoping to get cell phones here within a couple of years
The newest trend in teenage drugs – Placebos!
I tried couple of times I-doser. They work on me, but do not have so strong effects like in real stuff.
I tried this crap a while back, and by tried I mean listened to about 10 hours of brain melting screeches. The only effect by any of their strongest “doses” (Peyote, Crystal, Gates of Hades, Hand of God, etc.) was a terrible headache after the fact. Although I might attribute my “failed experiences” to my concrete sense of reality. (Which was totally blown out of the f**king water, raped, digested and then smashed back together with the help of Dimethyltryptamine) Self Transforming Machine Elves FTW.
First “smoking Smarties”, and now this?
LOL
1 DEMONS through 2 IPOD make you 3 HIGH? XD
this must be a “well-thought-through” religious hoax
Yeah, it is true that what they are reporting on is called binaural beats, or brainwave synchronization. I have tried this stuff many times over many years. Nothing ever happens. The theory is that there are two frequencies that are detuned slightly, in the area of 3-6 hertz i think. so take 400 hertz and 404 hertz, this detuning causes a beating frequency of 4 hertz. now this in theory simulates states of consciousness. like i said, i have tried this stuff. didn’t work for me. and i am inclined to believe it is all placebo, except perhaps the more ‘extreme’ ones like ‘gates of hades’ which have unexpected shifts in amplitude and frequency that can cause reactions in people (what you may be seeing in the reaction videos) these sounds are annoying and painful. i listen to sounds similar to these, in noise and drone music. this idoser stuff was annoying. most of it is placebo, the other part may be sensory deprivation.
This is the news…
Come on, is this real or a modern day Brass Eye?
Cake – it’s a made up drug.
It’s NOT real, i tried it like 3 or 5 years ago, it did’nt work on me, neither it did on everyone on a forum i know.
Don’t see why it’s famous again… Just a fake.
How did they manage to find people like that to interview….
IDozer had no effect on me, even when combined with the real deal. Imogen Heap’s ‘Hide and Seek’ works wonders though!
It’s the level upper!
People think that certain tones and lower the natural frequencies of the brain down to dream like states. Maybe that is possible, but there is not a real link between simply hearing the tone and that changing the brains frequencies to the number of hertz. If that were so, we’d have non-lethal weapons that would put people to sleep using sound. If your looking for a real fail, look up news interviews on Jenkem via youtube!
Clearly whoever created a dose called “Peyote” never had the pleasure of actually consuming Lophophora Williamsii.
There is no way to replicate the effects of that particular substance..it stands alone.
After telling a close friend that the content of this video was “Virtual drugs.” Their response was and I quote “Oh My God I am so looking that up!” FAIL.
I grew up in that ton and I went to that High School. This video only supports my theory that the whole town fails at life.
I guess whatever “news” station this was couldn’t find any tragedies to exaggerate. So they decided to exaggerated the almost non-existent (to non-epileptics) dangers of optical illusions, which they did by callling them “virtual drugs” and then interviewing idiots.
this is depressing >.> truly, truly depressing
what?….what?…WAHT!?!?!?!?!
Not sure if trolling successful or people just stupid.
