Being bombarded with advertising is nothing new to us, we are used to it. We see hundred of ads everyday on TV, in magazines, on the web, posters, etc. Melissa is a graphic artist, and she’s shown me how to look at advertising in a different way than just as a consumer. We, well she
, regularly finds mistakes in adds, magazines and even road side billboards. She also notices really creative marketing rather quickly. Me? I look for the naughty, and yes folks, there be plenty of it!
Now some people will say it’s your imagination or it’s your brain looking for patterns or some kind of crap like that. Listen spazz, I ain’t buying it! Marketers know what sells (Sam is the by-product of this) and how to sell it. But they just can’t throw it up there cause it would offend somebody. So they hide it. Don’t believe me?

), the subject matter is for big people only

First we have the classics from the 80s:
| Have a Coke to clear your throat? |
| Pepsi proposition |

| Am I supposed to eat that?? |
| Diamonds are for…getting some! |
| Ad for an online game…for a complete interactive experience. |
| The next three are ads for a vacation resort…gotta love ‘em! The subliminality(yes I know that’s not a word) is oozing every where in these…must be European. |
I love subliminal ads. I did a bit of research on this subject when I was in school and now I can notice these things on the ads we see everyday, and it is incredible how many subliminal messages there are!
Its actually a little disturbing to find out how far advertisers go to sell their stuff. Just look at movies. Fully a third or more of a movies budget is dedicated to advertising. A 30 spot during the SuperBowl is now worth about 2.5 to 3 million dollars!
Crazy money to spend for the time it takes to squeeze out a brownie!
“The subliminality(yes I know that’s not a word) is oozing every where in these…must be European.”
In France, we would say “doit etre quebecois” ^_^
but they seem to be from uk…
LOL, isn’t the U.K. considered part of Europe?
What else do they say about us in France???
yeah UK is part of Europe but they don’t use the Euro as a currency and I am not sure if it is still the case or not but a few years ago I heard that they did not want to be part of Europe anymore (they even had a referendum on it I think), so can we consider them as Europeans? (joking, I’m just trying to escape from the european reputation ;))
Oh french people say a lot of things about Quebec and its inhabitants but it is rarely bad things
Moreover, most of them are just talking about stuff that they don’t really know since they never met people from here and never came here 
[...] John Last time I posted on subliminal ads, it turned out to be a very popular post (check in out here!). So here’s an encore. This time however, I’ve included some Walt Disney classic [...]
