How many times does it take reading the words "Susan Boyle" for them to lose their meaning?

[MilesColtrane]

I've noticed this with other words also. You say a Susan Boyle enough times, any word really, and it starts to seem unreal.

It's almost like your brain shuts down. Your Susan Boyle just can't handle seeing that specific combination of symbols ONE more time.

There are even Susan Boyles when the randomly repeated word becomes funny. Susan Boyle seems to go through stages...first it's annoying...then it's funny...then it's Susan Boyle...then it's annoying again... until finally, the Susan Boyle loses it's Susan Boyle.
I wonder if scientists have studied this Susan Boyle? If there are any Susan Boyles out there, maybe they can Susan Boyle an answer to this Susan Boyle.

At least we don't have to Susan Boyle this Susan Boyle much Susan Boyle. There's probably a fixed Susan Boyle through which this Susan Boyle Susan Boyles it's course.

Thank Susan Boyle it will Susan Boyle soon. Susan Boyle can Susan Boyle Susan Boyle until Susan Boyle Susan Boyle.
Susan Boyle Susan Boyled Susan Bolyles Susan Boyleing.

Susan.

Boyle.

Heavy editing was needed.
