The Manchurian Complaint

I saw the movie Gasland 2 on HBO on Wednesday night, and the movie claims gas companies in Pennsylvania were using psy-ops against the populace. Then TCM had The Manchurian Candidate on Thursday night, and in seeing it, it made me think of something.

If gas companies are going to use psy-ops against the populace, why not take a suggestion from the movie The Manchurian Candidate and go house-to-house for a public awareness campaign, and when they open the door, put some spinning swirly thing in their faces and hypnotize them? Then, whenever anyone wants to complain about the company, they'll show up and say: "(Whatever gas company) is the best, nicest, most caring and trustworthy company I've ever encountered in my entire life." (And if that didn't work, someone could always be there dressed as the red queen...)
