I beg to differ, you can hide subliminal messages in audio and it does work.

Proof or sources please.

This is more anecdotal... I think the wife has been using subliminals on me for years.

It always struck me as true that if there weren't any women in the world you would also not have any stores that sell, primarily, balloons, candles and the Bed and Bath chain would specialize in power saws and antique firearms.

Lately, I have had to fight this irresistible urge to go buy some balloons...and...scented candles. It must be the subliminals.

I beg to differ, you can hide subliminal messages in internet postings and it does work.

See, you're feeling incredulous, aren't you?

Personal experience and observation with others. Of course your mileage may very. I have personally used subliminal audio tapes and know that they do have an effect beyond placebo. Further, it is a known fact that music containing subliminal messages (for shoplifting reduction) is used in malls for example, and have been shown to have an effect. I have personal experience with subliminal audio and have seen it work on others as well. I doubt that anyone could be manipulated to do anything that they were not pre-disposed to do in the first place after being subjected to subliminal messaging, but that doesn't mean that people aren't sensitive to the technique. I didn't make the initial assertion that it didn't work, I suggest asking that person to go locate the sources to prove that claim first.
