A Clockwork Orange

I found this info on Lostpedia, concerning "Room 23". Next time I watch CO I'll try to get a screenshot, but knowing Lost fans it's definitely true:

The video from Room 23 is an reference to the Ludovico technique, a fictitious type of aversion conditioning used in A Clockwork Orange. With this technique, the subject is medicated with a pro-nauseate drug and forced to watch a movie with disturbing images and loud music, thereby associating violent ideas with the sensation of being ill. Additionally, Alex's room number in the prison where he is held before being removed for the Ludovico Technique is 23.
