Subliminals are mild suggestions which go into our mind without our conscious knowledge. i.e. they don't alarm your logical thinking function like an overt suggestion would – or you may find yourself arguing / fighting against it. Subliminal messages go straight into your mind without any resistance from your critical mind and will slowly start to change your beliefs, thoughts, and even physical behavior.
subliminal messages are being used by everyone from McDonalds to local resaurants, and their continued use only brings more evidence to ability to influence us.
A really famous popular example is when McDonalds were busted for using subliminal advertising on the food network. During the Iron Chef program a flash of the McDonalds logo is seen for just 1/10th of a second.
Through youtube this subliminal advert got major international attention despite the video being filmed on a camcorder in someone's house from a clip he recorded on TV.
McDonalds denied it all straight away and said it was the food network's doing. But obviously the food network in turn denied everything too.
We all have regular access to the internet and anyone can make a video and put it on youtube or google video. if we do this we can increase the awareness of the manipulation which is going on - this is illegal in the US, the UK but advertisers still use them if they think they can get away with it. Only when we make a massive stand against this practice will the advertisers get a bad reputation and take note.
