If only we could harness this for remembering kanji. Maybe a disclaimer:

"The kanji you are about to study may contain scenes of graphic violence containing bloody, mutilated bodies. Also if you forget any of these kanji, they will come back and kill your family." :O

How about, right after you learn a kanji, look at a disgusting picutre? You anticipate that a disgusting image is about to een. We could even help by creating a collection of disturbing images to look at.
