I came across this video today that tested your awareness.
PLEASE WATCH IT FIRST BEFORE YOU READ,
that way I wont spoil anything!
It was really funny because even though I faintly remember watching this video in high school, I still didn't manage to see the moonwalking bear.
After I watched this video, I began to think of all the subliminal messages we are exposed to on a daily basis. Reading Megan Duffy's blog, I decided to immediately purchase a copy of "Buy-Ology" by Martin Lindstrom. He talked about neuromarketing and how science can be used to dig deeper into the unconsious, therefore finding out what really captures our attention, what sticks, and what doesn't. It was really cool because I used to be obsessed with subliminal messaging, and used to google for hours finding subliminal messaging in Disney (quite nasty, actually), TV Ads, TV shows, commercials, and even Logos. Here are just a few that still sick with me.
SM in Disney Films.
Here is also a link to an interesting youtube video showing some examples of SM in commercials/ads.
It's really crazy how even though many of us have seen these ads/commercials/movies/logos multiple times, we still fail to notice unless we are told exactly what we need to look for. Like the moonwalking bear in the first video, I would have never noticed unless I was told to :P.
