People are sheep.
When I was a radio announcer, one night I mentioned a new kind of chips and how much I loved them. For the next week and a half, I had people calling in telling me how right I was and how they all love those chips too after I told them about them.
That's such a smaller scale, but the same thing. Those people probably never would have tried those chips, and if they had, would have just thought of them as a new kind of chips. But because they heard me say it on the radio, suddenly they were a big deal.
I thought it was pretty funny at the time, but now I look back thinking "man, I had so much influence over those people, becuase they were all sheep."
