Masaru Emoto: Water Responds to Our Thoughts
Offline Sigh....so today at work, someone showed me this 3 minute video while explaining to me how absolutely amazing Dr. Emoto's research is.

Yep, that's right, that's the sound of your brain cells dying. And, look at all those 'likes' on the video. So legit! /s
Obviously, the entire premise lacks any scientific plausibility based on what we currently know, but I had to see what else I could find.

They probably shouldn't link their videos to the wikipedia page because two minutes on wikipedia told me that he is a doctor of "alternative medicine" from the Open International University for Alternative Medicine in India. And, he got a degree from Japan's Yokohama Municipal University after taking courses on international relations. Daaammm, now if those aren't some impressive scientific credentials, I don't know what is.

Then, two more minutes of research tells me that he only releases pictures that support his claims, his experiments have about as many methodological issues as a swiss cheese in a cartoon has holes, he doesn't submit the full details of his work for peer review, and he's already received James Randi's supernatural challenge, which, of course, he did not respond to.
Oh, and the best part?

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
I heard about this a long time ago. I believe it was on What the bleep do we know?
Like I said before, dumb people should be put out of their misery. This is just plain stupid.

I see Dr. Emoto died.
He should have been nicer to the water in his body.
If, if a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood. But if you - if you hold a gun on him and make him embrace me and pretend to be friendly or brotherly toward me, then that's not brotherhood, that's hypocrisy.- Malcolm X
I was thinking the same thing. believers in his quackery should have put his body on display then sat around it shouting good things and praying. The purpose? To prevent it from rotting. It is funny to imagine the body starting to fester while people say "i love you!" at the body.
