Shaken to my core :) Seriously though, as others have pointed out, the Government has much cheaper, much more effective ways of silencing opponents. Methods that are used to great effect in many other countries. I don't doubt that someone somewhere in an agency has probably looked at whether advertising can be subverted, though I suspect it's far more likely that they were interested in payload delivery and not attempts at mind control.
