Pheromone Ringtones? Quote: "The mobile service market is flooded with a hoard of value added services. Among them, a service of SK Telecom, that can allegedly make users more attractive, is targeting those youths seeking for their soul mates. The service is to combine a certain sound wave with the song of Quincy Jones or Marvin Gaye. The sound wave, dubbed Cupid’s Arrow, completed a TRIAL TEST IN A NEUROTHERAPY HOSPITAL IN UZBEKSISTAN. The Cupid’s Arrow would increase blood pressure, pulse and breath by 10% so that people can more open their minds to others, SK Telecom argued. Men and women can choose different sound wave and match-making information by blood types are provided. Users can download the pheromone music to their mobile phones to use it as their ring tones."
