Subliminal Advertising

[metalmmaniac]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

The Kfc one says Prices may vary. If that counts. If it isnt than KFC is LYING.

EDIT: And tax added aswell.

Thank god KFC are delicious or Id be angry.

I can see the McDonalds arch in the Canada one.

Are you smoking yet?

I cant see em. Although I have a strange urge now to spend fifty rupees in Canada to buy Super Mario Galaxy and on my way home pick up a kfc snacker.

The Super Mario Galaxy picture is advertising the Wii?

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...

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

The Super Mario Galaxy picture is advertising the Wii?

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.

Or people at Nintendo just like to fuck with us.

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'S A DOLLAR BILL IN THE KFC BURGER

Sorry, I was just excited I figured it out...

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

If you stare at the snacker long enough, it starts to look like a badly drawn Silent Hill monster.

 

[gavinator93]

on the left of the kfc one going down it sort of says eat it

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

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.
