	Beyond Shock Value - Arts - The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
		I have decided that shock has value if it makes you look twice, and, the second time, you look more carefully.
		Damien Hirst's dissected and preserved creatures have shock value.
		It is not only shocking things that make you look twice, but also anxious and vaguely menacing things, like the objects by Susan Robb showing at the Pound Gallery this month, in an installation called Weatheradio, 3200: Handmade Genetics and Homestyle Plastic.

	Shock value - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shock value is the potential of an image, text or other form of communication to provoke a reaction of disgust, shock, anger, fear, or similar emotion.
		For example, the Benetton Group is infamously known for using shocking material in their ads (such as a newborn baby still covered in blood and with an umbilical cord).
		As things that were once shocking, like mohawks and piercings, are becoming more commonplace, shock value can sometimes be found in clothing from the 1890-1930's, such as top hats, spats, monocles, and walking sticks.

		Shock absorbers are probably the most neglected, least understood safety item — that's right, safety item — on your car, truck, or SUV.
		Shock absorbers — shocks, for short — are usually tubular in shape and are mounted vertically, with the top attached to the body or the chassis and the bottom to a movable part of the suspension.
		Shock absorbers have to survive a lot of abuse — running through potholes and bouncing over bumps in the road — as their internal components move up and down thousands of times every mile.

	MMO Book Reviews: Mother Shock
		Mother Shock is a collection of short essays written over a period of several years; a few of the readings were previously published on HipMama and in print anthologies.
		While the essays in Mother Shock take the classic approach -- which is to say they elaborate on the emotional and practical challenges of becoming a mother -- Buchanan recounts her personal experiences from an angle that is not necessarily comforting or comfortable.
		The author definitely has a flair for dark humor; she walks a thin line between making light of a serious topic and plunging the reader into the depression zone -- and does so with incredible confidence, so that what the we see and absorb is the unvarnished truth about motherhood, stretch marks and all.

	Charlotte Observer \| 09/25/2006 \| 'Shock therapy' loses some of its shock value
		And Kitty Dukakis, wife of the former governor of Massachusetts and 1988 Democratic presidential nominee, says ECT gave her back her life, which had been rendered nearly unlivable by unrelenting despair and the alcohol she used to assuage it.
		But for a man I know who was suicidally depressed and given ECT as a last resort, it did nothing to relieve his depression and destroyed some of his long-term memory.
		Most important, perhaps, is the use of anesthesia and muscle relaxants before administering the shock, which causes a 30-second convulsion in the brain.

	Lost Garden: The root of shock game advertising
		If you boil a game’s core value proposition down to “providing visceral experiences” then the job of marketing is to promise increasingly powerful visceral experiences.
		Shock advertising comes into play when someone always increases the viciousness of their ads in an attempt to compete in a market where the emotional rawness of your product is a major selling factor.
		When I look at many games and the sorry advertisements that reflect back their pitiful value, I see people mechanically spewing out “more for the sake of more.” A game that only offers perfectly modeled bullet paths or the ability to murder beautiful women is a waste of talent and a blight upon our industry.

	RPS-Squared: [5.1.1] Damage Types
		Though they cause very little bleeding (usually internal), their shock value is very high, so bludgeoning weapons are often the tool of choice for forcing a person into submission.
		They (generally) produce no bleeding, and their shock value depends upon the drug or poison in use (knockout/sleeping drugs have high shock values).
		Since damage from disease is not incurred all at once, there is no shock value, but each disease may have its own effects, which may result in unconsciousness.

	Michael Anissimov - Future Shock Level Analysis

		Future shock is a genuine problem in our world, causing millions to withold support from humanitarian projects that hinge on a thorough understanding of technological futurism.
		Future shock is defined by Yudkowsky (1999) as being "impressed, frightened, or blindly enthusiastic" towards the future, or specific social or technological advances.

	Shock Therapy Loses Some of Its Shock Value » ect.org
		ECT was developed in the 1930’s by an Italian neurologist, Ugo Cerletti, who “tamed” difficult mental patients with electric shocks to the brain after noting that such shocks given to hogs before slaughter rendered them unconscious but did not kill them.
		In its first decades of use, ECT was administered to fully conscious patients, causing them to lose consciousness and experience violent seizures and uncontrolled muscle movements that sometimes broke bones.
		Most important, perhaps, is the use of anesthesia and muscle relaxants before administering the shock, which causes a 30-second convulsion in the brain without the accompanying movements.

		For up to five seconds, the weapon's shock scrambles a target's central nervous system, contracting his or her muscles and forcing them to crumple.
		One of those was James Borden, who was shocked six times in an Indiana prison last November.
		The doctor said he believes that "the Taser, in general, is a safe instrument for restraining people" and that Borden probably might have died had he been hit with a baton six times.
