I would guess that very soon most everyone with a JCPenny charge card
will see an advertisment for a ZARIN(R) fake mink coat. Prominently displayed
is a note which says: "All photographs in this brochure are UNRETOUCHED."
If this is true then why do the lines near the full page models lips form
the letters S-E-X???
Also why do other lines on the models spell out: "FINE"? I suppose they don't
consider those subliminal words to be retouching the photo. Sounds like
false advertising to me!

Ziobro > {rochester,amd,sunybcs,allegra}!rocksvax!z Companies get away with subliminal advertising mainly because most people simply don't believe subliminal embeds exist. Also, due to the subconcious workings of subliminal ads, if someone doesn't WANT to see the embed, they simply WON'T. Until such time as it is possible for EVERYONE to spot embeds, nobody will ever get in trouble for subliminal advertising. Meanwhile, the people who are aware of what the advertising industry is TRYING to do are viewed as freaks and weirdos by the people they try to convince, sigh... (Question: would it be possible to lower the threshold of conscious perception through hypnosis in order to allow a person to ALWAYS percieve subliminal messages?) .rne. ----- Real World . .
