Actually its a valid scientific discussion with several books and papers written about it - I wanted to see what the initial reaction was first (and if anyone here knows of the background to this).
Also it's a fun test of human nature - if you are told not to do something are you more or less likely to think about doing it?
The is more widely known as the "Don't think of a white bear" experiment by David Schneider, professor of psychology at Rice University
