Nah, I think they should use picture of the Nurtafry applicance along with a repeating 1hz picture of "BUY ME- OBEY - MARRY AND REPRODUCE" [anyone who is confused, just read alt.sex] What's subliminal about a Swan? It's not subliminal, it's sensual. It appeals to the senses with images of grace, beauty, balance, smoothness. Just as a Bald eagle flying towards a lake grabbing fish out of the water would convey wonder, power, precision, stamina, grace, etc. The Infinity car commercials proved this type of campaign doesn't work too well, since people were far more intertested at looking at the car ,not watching doves fly over a sunset. (You'll notice in the revised adds they showed the car driving through a country kicking up leaves, etc. ) Follow-ups to alt.sex where this thread has been going on for 300+ messages. [One last note even though it may be in vain: Not everything is subliminal that appeals to our emotions, in fact, things that appeal to our emotions are conciously perceived since they have a greater effect on the concious mind. That phallic/vaginal symbol stuff is bunk.] > NCW > -- / INET:rjc@gnu.ai.mit.edu * // The opinions expressed here do not \ | INET:r_cromwe@upr2.clu.net | \X/ in any way reflect the views of my self.| \ UUCP:uunet!tnc!m0023 * /
