Re: Subliminal Messages

I agree with Courtney that Disney and few other companies are not hiding SEX in their products subliminally, my guess is that people see what they want to see. I won't say that is the case for everything but we easily make things dirty when they don't have to be. I'm curious if we as Americans see these ads that are blatantly using sex to sell their products as dirty because as a culture we are not use to seeing those things on television or other prints ads. There are always commercials popping up on the internet that are from other countries that are very sexual and as far as I can tell there is no problem running those ads on tv in whatever country they are from but we will not show them here. Check out this Ikea video, I can't imagine seeing this on television here but it wouldn't bother me even if it did, sex sells and it can be pretty funny, no need to hide it. (I don't think there is anything wrong in the video but if you are sensitive to the subject don't click play, just to be on the safe side)
