Ever noticed that anything was subliminally advertised?
I was watching Brainiac one time and they had three subliminal messages pop up during the show, then after the show they pointed them all out and asked if you did what they said. It worked a bit with me, during a part of the show the screen flashed for like a nano-second "You are thirsty" and I went to the kitchen for a drink during that part.
There's no such thing as subliminal advertising.
You got something to drink because you WERE thursty. :rolleyes2
Ive never noticed any Subliminal messages, but I could of sworn they were all over Pokemon.
that's what the advertisers wanted you to think :D And I've never gotten a subliminal message that I know of....Quote:

No, that's what my introductory Psych textbooks and professors wanted me to think, so I'd pass the course. ;)
Well there's no such thing is a bad wording, I should've said it doesn't work, which means it's a pretty bad advertising strategy. >_>
I know someone who put subliminal messages in a PowerPoint. :D
Kevin Nealon is pretty funny.
Your post is not an example of subliminal messaging. That's and advert.Quote:

Placing a coke on the judges table at American Idol isn't subliminal messaging, it's product placement. And it can be debated how effective product placement can be.
GODDAMNIT STRIDER! I was gonna post that >=O
It does, doesn't it? I think what they used to at the pictures, during the adverts, was flash an image of "You are thirsty", like he said. Then they'd flash a picture of Coke or something.Quote:

I saw that episode, but I'm weird. For some reason, I can clearly see when they flash up the "hidden" messages. Same for those Derren Brown programmes. My family did not notice at all. Maybe my eyes' "shutter speed" is too fast?Quote:

From what I've heard, subliminal messages in public broadcasts are illegal.
And yes, they can be effective at times.
I, Robot. --> Converse shoes.
That is simply product placement. The subliminal arts are quite a bit shadier than that.:cool:Quote:

So to answer the orginal question, I havn't seen anything subliminally advertised and neither should anybody else have.

I agree, I, Robot was a crappy movie wrapped in commercials for Converse, Heineken, JVC, the USPS, and I think Pepsi was there somewhere.
Yes. I think they flash 'PLAY THE GAME' every so often during the show, because whenever I watch it I end up playing the game until like 5am.Quote:

Also I helped a friend with his presentation in power point, and if you took the first letter of every slide title it spelled kill bush.
What? Does that have anything to do with subliminal advertising? I'm confused. :confused:Quote:

there was one film where there really was subliminal messaging cos on my pirate copy of "freddy versus jason" dot messages flash on the cinema screen just for a nano-second and it happens with three different dot shapes through the film....it freaked me out......im still wondering what the messages mean....:O
I've noticed a lot of subliminal messages in Fight Club, the flashing cock isn't the only one. I also got a promotional VHS tape for some band once. It had the band's logo flashing several times. Just too bad the framerate for VHS is so low, you can easily notice each and every of them.
Subliminal messaging isn't effective, or so I hear. I'm more interested in superliminal messaging.
