Does anyone know the current legality of subliminal messages? Have they reduced the amount of time a frame or series of frames need to play? It seems to me there has been an increase in either "mistakes" by the broadcaster ...where they start one video, and then cut it short and go to something else ...could be more errors,or perhaps they have shortened the legal length of time a frame(s) needs to show.

I think that urban myth was debunked 30 years ago.

Subliminal fk Obama messages are not real.

They are illegal on broadcast channels over public airwaves, but not controlled on cable or satellite transmissions. The technique was used by inserting a single frame.

The FTC has not banned the use of such ads. There are court rulings all over the place, generally not favorable to consumers. However science has generally failed to prove the ads effective. Most advertisers do not use them for fear of discovery, exposure and adverse consequences.

Has anyone seen the Monsters v. Aliens ad with the one-eyed blob creature between the legs of the giant insectivory thing? It ran in the Washington Express, a very smarmy, metrosexual tabloid published by the Washington Post. Not the sort of subliminal ads this is about, but very, very creepy, especially for a kiddie movie.

The books authored decades ago by Wilson Bryan Key, Subliminal Seduction and it's successors, are still the classic texts in this area. Some of the photos in these early books are simply mind-bending.

Subliminal messages are an artifiact of the 70s. Simply BS.

Most advertising is conducted at the level of a yell because if is so difficult to get people’s attention.
