Worst than worst, it's a registered mark!!!. I thought that all this
was some kind of serious experiment (with funny conclusions, as usual),
but I've just been looking around http//:www.mozarteffect.com/ (thanks to
Roger Bogda) and I realized that all this is just a big "curro" (argentine
slang for "not completely respectable business") owned by a guy named Don
Campbell. Perhaps this man wanted to take revenge from all those arty
people who has been making money with his surname since the 60's.
I have some ideas for similar business:
The Gombert Effect: "Keep it far from the reaching of Children"
The Gesualdo Effect: "Marital problems?. Try the Italian method!!!"
The Lully Effect: "Just beat it!!" (a new method of rhytmic training, kind
of Dalcroze)
The Bach Effect: "Say good bye to Viagra...!!!"
The Beethoven Effect: "WHAT?!!!"
The Rossini Effect: "Increase your potential to cook pasta!!!"
The Wagner Effect: "Invade Poland in 2 weeks!!!"
And so on, unfortunately...
