I've always been fascinated with subliminal advertising, and since I am involved with Graphic Design, Marketing, and Advertising, maybe someday I can corrupt young, impressionable minds...

So I've done this on a couple of other forums, and I always enjoyed it. I will post some pics of examples of subliminal advertising. Try to spot what is wrong/weird about the image. Also, if anyone has some examples, post them up! Please keep it clean with spoilers...

ok so here's the first batch...

Is the third one advertising for McDonalds? There is a set of golden arches at the bottom of the frame. I can't work out the other ones. I'll keep trying.

I don't know about the geography of Seychells, but the B&W palm beach seems a bit... out of place.

All advertising uses subliminal messages in some way. Like beer ads for example, have you ever see a beer ad where there is just one person sitting alone?

The mario one in the top left corner it looks like a pill, also I don't know about you but I think I've seen this kind of thing when I take those non-prescription pills that sell for 10 a pop.

Canada McDonals we see that one

the snacker you'll notice how many times the number nine reoccurs in the picture

and the 50 rupees one I'm not quite sure... The only thing I can think of is the fact that there's a boat on it which sort-of tells you money makes you go places
...or that money will buy you a boat
...or that boats are worth 50 rupees

The Mario Galaxy one is supposedly that each of the glimmers of light highlights a different letter, spelling out: U R MR GAY.

I think it's just coincidence...

No, If you look carefully, stars are next to certain letters.
U.R.M.R.G.A.Y.
I don't know how they got away with such an obvious insult.

Mario is flying accross space. Therefore, "Weeeeeee!" (Wii)

Now, for a serious one: Seychelles... is it perhaps the arrow pointing upwards towards GOVERNMENT OF SEYCHELLES.

NO WAIT! I got it! It's SEX, on the palm leaves! (tilt your head to the right)

There was a coke add pulled once because they figured out that a piece of ice in the picture had an image of a woman giving a man a bj.

See 'Tax Extra' on the bottom? Straight up from there.
