Interesting that those emails from anonymous users would be in a style that is usually frowned upon, therefore the message contained within would be more likely to be rejected and even rebelled against, increasing the chance of doing what you are told not to do. Then to angle the rejection in the right way, they say "do not think of pink elephants." Also, as a side note, in a trance setting, the brain does like to ignore the word 'not' as long as it is sparsely used, for the simple reason it's easier to do something, than not do it in a logical sense. Just my 2 cents. And as a disclosure, I do not know/never spoken to Outkast, and I have not received any pms in the style Jeshi mentions.
