Some subliminals are right in front of you. Ever walk thru your house and notice how many product logos you look at hundreds of times a day? Do you hate the forced commercials at movies? Billboards? Telemarketers? Spam?

You can't look anywhere to get away from them. You pull into a parking space in some places, the space has an ad. You walk in the door and you're inundated with ads and sales from several companies. You get a cart, it's got an ad in the basket. You look at the floor, where you've already walked on several ads. You get what you need and get into your car that makes sure you know it's a Dodge by having the logo on at least 3 places on the wheel and dash. You get out into traffic and stop at the red light, only to see the billboards perfectly placed for you to see while you're stuck in traffic. Captive advertising strikes again. You turn on the radio to get a little music, and you find ads again. Of course you aren't "forced" to look at or listen to the ads except for the movies, but you can't avoid looking at them either.

So you get home and put away your Oscar Meyer in your Frigidaire. You start a load of clothes in your Kenmore washer. You go upstairs and flip on your Daewoo television to watch a movie. You grab your Microsoft mouse and turn up your Panasonic stereo. You navigate to find the film you dled on your Philips monitor. It's a little hot so you turn on the Lasko fan. Why is this important? It illustrates how many times we are subjected to brand logos in a 5 minute period in our own home.

The key ingredient to brainwashing is repetition. It isn't necessary to have the logo on the front of appliances and other household items. All info such as make and model could easily be priinted on the back or bottom of each consumer appliance. No, they are there for the sole reason of free advertising! You see their logo 1000's of times in the usage of their product, whether consciously or subconsciously.

When will it end? I understand the need of ads to promote products and whatnot, but it's going way too far. After realizing the effect of seeing those things I went thru my house and removed as many logos from my things as pobbile. My mouse's logo has been filed off, as has my stereo, monitor, car, TV etc etc. I don't need to have these brands drilled into my head to insure future purchases subliminally. May seem extreme to some but I don't need the name of a company in my face ever svery second. The only clothes I buy with a logo are my shoes.

I also get disgusted at the use of sex in any commercial that isn't selling a sex related product...taking advantage of my animal sex drive offends me as a person and the idea behind it that reduces me to a blubbering idiot with his cock in his hand going to buy the thing that showed the girl in the shower screaming "YES YES!!!" during her "totally organic experience". It's an insult to all our intelligence, and I turn away from many products by the way they're marketed. It's the only way to fight it... don't support it.

As long as I am not using them to describe you, don't go telling me whether or not I can/should use them...that is, if you want me to continue refraining from using them to describe you. ~Prince Last edited by Holo; 09-27-2003 at 12:11 PM..
