Then they were given assessments of nonconscious mood: in word tests, volunteers were asked to complete fragments such...

She doesn’t even dance, despite the fact that nothing else is going on; instead, she jerkily moves around the stage, rubbing her cheeks against sparkly skull-shaped microphones and looking as if she’s in arthritic pain. The only redeeming moment comes when she wiggles her bum for the camera, but the wiggling is brief and, well, old news. —Jenny...
