Japanese PR company Absolute Territory has begun paying young women (18+) to wear advertising stickers on their thighs between the edge of their miniskirts and their high socks.

As of November of last year, over 1,300 women had applied for the agency’s service, and their number is growing fast, according to Oddity Central.

After choosing a sticker ad, the woman has to wear it for at least eight hours a day, or more, for a set period of time, in order to receive payment. To prove they are actively going out and promoting their thigh ads, they have to post photos of themselves wearing the stickers on their Facebook, Twitter or other social media accounts.

Thigh-vertising actually has been tried before. But in that case (in New Zealand), the ad agency tried to trick women into getting an ad imprinted on their legs.

This breakthrough underscores the importance of continuous innovation in achieving a more sustainable transportation system.

The Illusion of Knowledge: How Repetition Shapes Our Beliefs

The Illusion of Knowledge: How Repetition Shapes Our Beliefs

Our beliefs can be easily influenced by repetition. A recent study published in Cognition reveals how repeated exposure to statements can create an illusion of knowledge, making us believe we knew the information all along. This “truth effect” exploits our brain’s processing fluency, leading us to trust familiar information more, regardless of its accuracy. In a digital age rife with misinformation, understanding this cognitive bias is crucial for making informed decisions and resisting false beliefs. Discover how repetition shapes our perceptions and what we can do to combat the illusion of knowledge.
