Subliminal Messages

Today in Psyc we learned about subliminal messages. They are mostly found in advertisements, songs, and studies. Everyone has heard of these messages, but in reality never actually notices them. They are so trickily placed and so unconscious to you that you have know idea. You might think that you want to drink that can of pepsi, but would you really want it if that good looking person wasn't on the box. In advertisements subliminal messages can be quite obvious or very subtle. In a magazine you can see a women holding up a bottle and opening the top with her teeth. That is a more obvious one since it shows sex and attracts men to that product. Yet, some adds are much more subtle. In many ads they don't use real ice cubes they actual add computer generated ones instead. Well, on some ads if you look at the ice closely there is the word "sex" spelled out. In psyc we also looked at some songs with subliminal messages hidden in them. For the song "Stairway to Heaven" if you play it backwards slowly Jimmy Paige is saying words about Satin and his love for him. While in the song "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen if you play a part slowly backward you can hear Fred say I like to smoke marijuana. Do you think that you are another victim of subliminal messages or do you think subliminal messages even work on people? Do you know of any other subliminal messages? Please tell all cause you never know what's out there so it's interesting to find out what people know.
