p2pnet - rss feed: Is John McCain using subliminal advertising?
p2pnet news | Advertising:- “My girlfriend posted this video because she was editing news footage for her job and noticed McCain’s fat face,” says dsprecher01 under a YouTube post, going on:
“Honestly, she didn’t put it there.”
The comment suggests maybe John McCain is trying to get into people’s brains under false pretences.
Because faster (well, almost) than the eye can register, a picture of the McCains, husband and wife (with a smirking John the most prominent) flashes in the top right-hand corner of a Fox logo introducing a story which, as dsprecher01 points out, has nothing to do with McCain.
Is it really subliminal advertising and if it is, will it work?
UK security firm Sophos said it had identified an animated .gif in a spam campaign designed to artificially inflate the price of shares, said a p2pnet story in March, 2007, going on, “The graphic briefly flashed a message saying ‘BUY!!!’ approximately every fifteen seconds, the message being, ‘comparable to the subliminal messages that have occasionally been used in advertising and political broadcasts to try and subconciously influence people’.”
A UK study shows noted how subliminal advertising, banned in the UK but still legal in the US, might work, says Guardian Online.

I believe that it is a subliminal message but I also believe that it does not work! The stupid neocons at FOX television believe that it does though And this is not surprising.
These guys know nothing understand nothing save for nasty politic lies deceptiosn intolerances and bigoterries.
Many experiments have been conducted on the impact of subliminal messages by many organization world wide such as the CIAA, the Navy, the former KGB, MI5 and Mi6 and many university research falilities.
The overwelming consensus is thart it does not work!
But of course the neo-cons believe that every one is stupid, every is wrong but themselves.
They are dangerous group of criminals and treators for whom the constitution our laws and institutions do not count and must be put into prison as soon as possible.
Thanks God it does not work but thing about what it tell us about the intention of this nasty croud!

The latest studies I’ve read about indicate that subliminal advertising might make you think about a product or person but it is ineffective in changing opinions or ‘brainwashing’. This will only help if people already have a positive opinion of McCain so it’s basically pointless.

Advertising IS subliminal in nature, most of the time.
To be honest, that clip really looks like poorly edited segment, that was cut off at the wrong point, by audio, not video. I’d like to see the entire version of that news jingle. It looks like a “Election Version” of the opening credits for the news, which looks like it would contain more flashy images, and a longer audio segment, but was shortened for the “Return from commercial break”.

“To be honest, that clip really looks like poorly edited segment”
This is the way you do the subliminal thing. Since it is very short it does not have to be fancy.
I am not sure John McCain have anything to do with this though.
However it tell me for sure what type of nasty crowd is going to gravitate arround him and pest him may be with some negative results at some point

It would explain his wife’s clear disdain for invasion of her tax payments,
if she were helping to manipulate Americans with visual stimuli that seen in her tax returns.
Another political party used tests like these in other famous country

I still think this clip was cut according to audio cue, and not video.
I highly doubt John McCain had anything to do with it. Sounds more like political paranoia to me.

Like anybody watching FOX needs this subliminal message…
