subliminal messages

[geonagual]

Have you ever thought about these? Where do you think they exist? What do you know?

[birdgirl73]

I think they exist in advertising, although in America they're supposed to be illegal.

My husband adds Saturday-Night-Live-style subliminal messages (remember the old Kevin Nealon routine on the SNL newscast?) sometimes to comments he makes to me. "Maybe we should go upstairs (hot sex)?" "Maybe you could think about what's for dinner (chicken and rice)."

I need to do the same in things I say to him (turn that football game down), but I rarely think of it.

I believe they exist to...of course there are urban myths about them..for example in department stores during holiday season they are hidden in the Christmas music...saying things such as "dont steal" "buy" ..stuff like that...another is in magazines within the ice cubes of alcohol drinks with words like "sex" "fun" "happy"

I have seen that Kevin Neelan skit a few times...hilariious

There is no hard evidence that subliminal advertising works, but it's definitly out there. I had three or four books about this years ago. One was called, I believe, Subliminal Seduction. An earlier book, The Hidden Persuaders, by Vance Packard, came out in the 1950's.

Some types of subliminal advertising are illegal, but not all. Putting little drawings in ads is common, such as faces that look afraid, and other cartoon-like images. It's an interesting subject.

I noticed this one time while smoking on the front porch, wierd...

[birdgirl73]

You're right, Breuk. I vageuly remember from my college advertising class that the FCC, which is the body that governs advertising, has specific language specifying that certain types of sexual subliminal advertising/messaging is illegal. I think one ad agency got in bad trouble--this would have been two decades or more ago--for particularly suggestive ice cubes in a liquor glass of some kind. Now with PhotoShop as advanced as it is, I'm guessing the technique must be more prevalent than ever. I find it interesting, too.

Subliminal advertising is supposed to be illegal here in the US but, I am willing to bet it is still used by the government over the satelite systems like a GPS type beaming down a "Be good and pay your taxes with a smile or go to Leavenworth Prison" signal:D:D:D

Being controlled like that is what makes me most paranoid, not the the stupid pigs or the corrupt gov't so much. "You might be just be paranoid but that doesn't mean someone's not out to get you." But I guess the answer lyes in just knowing that shit exists and just being aware... And smoking another bowl.

I'm 'Lovin' the McDonald vid, nice link lip.

The old style animators used to 'slip' a few naughty frames into some of their cartoons.

There's a memorable example in a 'Betty Boop' cartoon where, for a few frames, you get a clear shot of her . . ahem . 'snatch'.
Maybe that's why I've always been attracted to girls with chubby cheeks and big foreheads?
