1. Make an LJ-cut post with "DO NOT READ" as the text.
2. Do not select a 'mood' for this post.
3. If anyone clicks the cut, they are to comment and admit to doing so.
4. Anyone who reads this also has to do the same in THEIR journal, thus continuing the never-ending madness.

:-D

I read it instantly. I reasoned that people don't do public posts labelled "do not read" unless the whole point is for people to read them, especially when the post is labelled "test."

Several children's books have been marketed with the "do not read this!" message. There's a book called "Do not read this book!", and one very popular series has been consistently marketed with blurbs, posters, adverts etc. saying, "You will hate this book. Do not read it." They seem to be reasoning that nothing makes people more likely to read a thing than to tell them not to do it.
