Guilt by association has been the best example of linking a message to a visual action. The more a person remembers something over time the more likely the person will believe it is a true fact even when it is not. Where the cartoons depicted in the links below are base on fact they are great examples of how a visual effect helps a person to remember. These EMO cartoons provides another example of how to get a point of viewed to be remembered. http://mynonprofitwebsite.com/blog/category/emo-cartoon/ This nine year old cartoons are another example of getting a person to remember a point of view. http://mynonprofitwebsite.com/blog/category/chris-cartoon/ I am in agreement with the content, but would add that Words have more impact when words are linked to a visual action.

Most of them include so many granular details and it seems the rumor evolves as is spreads.

I think that it can! ;-) WWII was an interesting time, perhaps psychological warfare was the only way to win the battle or at least prop up morale.

One example was how the aluminum tubes story was planted with Judith Miller for publication in the NY Times, with that story then being used as a reference by Cheney, Condi and others in TV appearances. The Niger connection was also fed to British Intelligence, which was then quoted as a source by Bush in a State of the Union address. These rumors have the memetic attributes you describe generally for rumors.
