Re: We've all seen these ads, but WTF?



*I think there are two possibilities for this Atta guy appearing in an ad.

The first one is the strongest possibility. It's not so subliminal, but a * */great number of people/ even though somewhere in the periphery of the conscious mind would sense something vaguely familiar about it, would not even double-take on it.

But it is still a psychological device to make the ad stick into the neurons.* *

Don't let Benneton fool you either with this fraud of avant-garde social messages. They have no conscience. Once picking up my kids after school, a middle school mind you, fifth graders to ninth graders, right in front of that school was a full-size bulletin board, showing a big car engulfed en flames, like inside a big bonfire, and the simple words Benneton across and above the conflagration. * *

It's to poke at your eyes, your mind. * *

The book "Subliminal Seduction" talks about it and they reproduce a lot of ads in the book, but they highlight the parts you wouldn't notice in some of them. * *

Some of us are old enough to remember the Camel cigarette ads from the 1950s and 1960s. Just a simple picture of a lit Camel cigarette in an ashtray, smoke making curves upward into the air, and right next to the ashtray is a saucer. In the saucer is a pickle, and on the saucer is a cup of ice cream. * *

Back then the common way to describe the sometimes odd cravings of women who were pregnant was "pickles and ice cream". * *

Note the last paragraph. The son of a friend of mine was part of the same
