SUBLIMINAL PERCEPTION
The whole brouhaha started in 1957 with a couple frames of popcorn
(don't forget the butter),
candy and drink in a mock movie theater! This historical fact begs THE question:
Are subliminal advertisements for real, or merely an elaborate hoax?

As with any unusual idea, it always pays to be skeptical...................................
BUT why was Joe Camel pulled if "he" was not doing damage on a subliminal level?
Of
course, getting rid of Joe Camel did not exactly stop ALL subliminal cigarette

Keep a "heads up"! Remember, people will do practically anything to make a sale! Just don't expect them to admit it if they are caught! Use your critical thinking skills .........thanks, Cara :).........

Have you ever taken a CLOSE look at the Cover to the Silence of the Lambs video?
Hint: Check out the moth, just behind the head........................................................
That doesn't look like a thorax!
Hint: Look just below the moth's head.................................Looks more like Led Zeppelen!
As some of you may know, there is nothing we love more than discussing hidden imagery in movie poster one-sheets. It's like Hollywood's version of a hidden 3D poster you saw at the mall as a kid: stare at it long enough, and you are bound to find something. An impressive variation on this "hidden gem" idea is when the extra discovery actually contributes to the design of the poster itself. This idea brings us to the U.S. domestic one-sheet for the Oscar winning film Silence of the Lambs.
When a designer hides or adds a less than overt element to a composition it is sometimes called a secondary image or second read. Perhaps the most famous example of this is the hidden arrow in the FedEx logo. You've looked at something countless times only to discover something new (or like most of us, have it pointed out to you). In the Silence of the Lambs movie poster, Jodie Foster's face is given a high contrast treatment with a large moth placed over her mouth. Looking closer at the moth, we notice a subtle skull on the head of the butterfly -- the so-called "death's head" moth from the film. A striking image, which matches the dark tone of the film itself.
In the Silence of the Lambs image, the ambiguous skull on the moth is actually made up of seven naked female bodies. The image of the "skull orgy" originated in a portrait photograph by Philippe Halsman of Salvador Dali, entitled Salvador Dali In Voluptate Mors. (The photo itself was inspired by surrealist Dali's gouache Female Bodies as a Skull painting. Dali later translated the same idea into his own live sculptures.) The Lambs one-sheet was created by the (now defunct) film ad agency Dazu, and the skull image idea was reportedly given to the agency by director Jonathan Demme specifically for use in the film's poster artwork.

Alcohol and nicotine are a CLOSE second!
In fact, Dr. Key founded all of this madness on some strange looking ice cubes!
Alphabetic ice cubes? Hidden Images?
Here, Seagrams is actually "spoofing" the whole concept of Subliminal Ads.....Then they use one (or more, below) in the same ad!!!
Check out the skull in the ice cube...slow suicide, indeed!
