I saw this too! I was wondering if they could use this innovative technology to control squirrels, and it gets in the wrong hands Tancredo, we're DOMMED!!
Now we need to figure out how to get the implants into them naturally, like in their food. Then we can take over the entire pigeon population and make them attack people and stuff like that! Rob banks! Multiple remote controllers can command flocks of competing birds to fly into each other - or zoom over football fields in formations! The possibilities are endless!
kibby,
The scientists say it will only work on creatures with a certain minimum level of cognitive function, so Twitney and Paris are out. They can make Paris' little dog pee on her birthday cake though.
Hammie, I'm afraid they've already mastered the art of behavioural manipulation on humans. For men it's beer commercials and for woman it's shoe sales.

Again, Scientists doing really mean things to birdies for no good reason. Now if they could do that to some humans that might benefit mankind somehow.
Posted by: Beppie | February 27, 2007 at 10:24 AM
But sometimes (everything in moderation) being DOMMED is fun.
Also, the Romote Control Pigeons are looking for a new frontman.

how about implanting electrodes in the Chinese leaders brains, then when we can control them successfully, we move on to the North Koreans.

No offence mm, I'm not implying that Ed would've got anywhere near succeeding.
I'm still trying to figure out why good money is being spent on getting pigeons to fly to the left and to the right on command.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 27, 2007 at 11:35 AM
I suspect that their next step will be primates, Mot. Then humans.

Mot: I imagine the intent - and I am wholly in favor of this - is to develop a flock of pigeons capable of performing an aerial electric slide.

Yes, someone said beer. But be careful, or there's this if you overdo it.

Brill, Meanie, and to think the original of that was done without a trace of CGI. The art has been lost somehow, I'll accept a wee little gumball.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | February 27, 2007 at 12:18 PM
In my family, DOM stands for Dirty Old Man. Take that as you will.
Can this technology be used to tell the pigeons to poop on someone else's car? Not that I'd have someone in mind. Nope. *smirk*
