I read some books and articles on subliminal advertising and its very prevalent. Millions of dollars is put into research and nothing you see in a commercial(the color clothes, the background decor, the location of a plant, etc) is by accident. For example there was one ad I saw which was a women drinking a glass of champagne. Upon further review the angle of the hand holding the glass it is apparent that it is another women pouring the champagne into the womens mouth. BTW have you read my last blog entry?-

Fortunately (or, perhaps, unfortunately) most of what you read re:subliminal advertising is just plain bulls#it. Most of what is "discovered" by these authors are simply random markings (for example in ice cubes in print ads) and patterns. As a media researcher, I assure you massive research dollars are not spent testing these paterns...I wish they would (more work for me)...it just ain't happening.

 

Besides, virtually all of the legitimate research shows that subliminal (REAL subliminal) advertising is nowhere near as effective as just plain old in-your-face advertising.

 

But...it's makes a much better conspiracy theory to believe it's prevelant.

Look for a book called "The Clam Bake Orgy." Alot of what you're discussing is not too far from having people interpret what they see in a cloud's shape. But I found it interesting, to say the least, when I was studying advertising in college.

Coke in Australia in the 1980's had a similar incident where they recalled a poster by an artist.

 

HOW CLEVER IS THIS

 

This poster was released in the mid 80s and prompted a total recall of all posters because of the picture painted in ice-cubes at bottom right corner - a woman performing an act. The graphic artist who designed the picture put this in as a joke, and it went through unnoticed until someone spotted it on the back of a Coke truck. The artist lost his job and was sued, and all promotional material had to be recalled and destroyed. Very rare and hard to get hold of — released in South Australia in mid '80s.

I stumbled upon that last year... Puhonix jogged my memory with the YellowPage thingy.

 

Also, wasn't EBay cracking down on "Reflecto Porn." "Reflecto Porn" was the name given to items that people would post pictures of. Upon close examination of the item's pic, say a silver teapot, you would notice something, somebody, or some act caused by the mirrored reflection the object was giving off!
