The best part about all this freaky marketing is that creators and producers completely deny that anything subliminal is put into their products intentionally! Do you think it is? Is it possible that they show these hints that few can decipher,.. accidentally? Or is this some sort of 'Big Brother' scheme that they just don't want people to know about? (they're trying to control your mind! *Jokes*) The more i look into this, the more amazed I am that I never noticed before any of it was pointed out to me!
One would expect this kind of manipulation in adult directed product placement, and now we've seen examples of it in little kid movies. Readers, I swear to you now (perhaps it's obvious to some already) that; It. Doesn't. Stop. There. Subliminal messaging doesn't only manipulate you're mind in a sexual way, (such as the priest's 'thang' in Little Mermaid *see previus blog*) but it also tickles your hunger/thirst nerve, and even your ideological placement.How deep into our minds are marketers going to dig? In the future, will we basicly be being told what/how to think?! More on those topics in proceeding blogs. (*Dun dun dunnnn*)
I've honestly never noticed that on facebook. That being said I don't spend much time on the login page I just type my login in and wait until it goes to the next page. I believe that some things are intentional, and others are simply coincidence. Yes marketers use psychology in order to get their clientele to buy what they want them to so yeah in that sense they do actually have access to our minds. Mind control is going a little far though.
ReplyDeleteSomeone showed me that picture before and I was really surprised. It's crazy how much subliminal messages are sent to us on a daily basis. But that being said, I also think you can find anything if you look hard enough for it. I could probably look at your blog background and find a dirty shape if I looked long enough. So I think it's a mix of companies sending us subliminal messages, which once pointed out become obvious that they meant to put it there, but it's also a mix of people who want it to be there so bad that they eventually end up finding something.
ReplyDeleteWow that is hilarious! People just won't stop with the subliminal messages...I find it freaking hilarious, but it is definitely innapropriate. It's probably intentionnal, and if it's not, well, people are very observant for finding these elements
ReplyDeleteI've honestly never realized the word in your picture before. Wow, I knew that subliminal messages were everywhere however it's amazing to see just how sneaky the makers of these websites and the media in general are. I've also heard that for every link you press on facebook that brand or company makes money off of just that one click. Internet nowadays controls our lives and I'm really not surprised that it's able to control what we think or even feel.
ReplyDeleteI have never noticed that on facebook. But what is the point of subliminal messages? Only so many people actually recognize them. ALso I believe if you were to reconnect the little dots or people things you would be able to find a new word.
ReplyDeleteThat picture can be some guy with a twisted mind, honestly I find it difficult to believe that Facebook would have subliminal messages about sex because what does it gain if you end up having more sexual relationships? Plus it's kind of the opposite of Big Brother because he DIDN't want you to have sex while here apparently they DO.
