* A classic 2001 study about the power of suggestion and the ability of people to develop false memories, spearheaded by psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, involved enlisting volunteers to visit Ride/{{Disneyland}} and Ride/WaltDisneyWorld, then evaluate some ads about the parks. One of the groups was shown an ad that included Bugs, and another group had a cardboard cutout of Bugs placed in the room while they read the doctored ad. Then everyone was asked if they'd seen Bugs Bunny at one of the Disney parks (which, of course, is impossible). Among the ones who'd been exposed to the Bugs ad and[=/=]or cutout, between 30 and 40 percent wrongly said that they'd seen him at Disney, while the percentage was in single digits in the control groups who weren't exposed to the Bugs material.
