Subliminimal/subliminable (can't remember what he said but cheers Dubya!) messaging is a variety of things mainly to do with us spending cash to fill
the coffers of the world's elite and corporate tits. It's used everyday and even though it's banned on the telly here in the UK, "they" still use
advertising to brainwash, especially kids. Have you ever seen the commercials on kids channels like Nickelodeon + JR, Boomerang and thelikes?
An overly-excited/ecstatic voice explodes from the tv, telling kids how great this product is and how much they want it. "IT SHOOTS! IT FLIES! IT
DRIVES! IT HAS OVER 8 REAL ACTION SOUNDS!"
"KIDS! GO PESTER THE FCUK OUT YOUR PARENTS TO BUY THIS OVER-PRICED, CHEAPLY MADE PIECE OF CRAP AT A RIDICULOUS PRICE! LOOK IT HAS LOADS OF COLOURS
AND COOL LITTLE GIZMO'S THAT YOU'RE ONLY GONNA BECOME BORED WITH IN A FEW DAYS UNLESS IT BREAKS!"
Christmas is even worse.
What about money-off vouchers conveniently dropped through your letter box? Being Scottish and also as a race are known for penny-pinching, I like to
look through to see what I get. I love Subway. Can't get enough of them. Got loads through recently. Great! But I notice other people, friends and
family, getting vouchers/offers for different things they clearly don't need, yet contemplating buying those products. My mum, bless her, has bought
almost every "revolutionary" excercise aid since the Thigh-Master. Sorry, ma, you're still overweight and I love you the way you are. (birthday is
coming up

) She didn't use them. Maybe intended to but didn't. SHe buys stuff from Betterware - microwave egg-poacher?!? Yet to have a bloody
poached egg.
Lads, we've all had girlfriends who go out and buy shoes and tops and skirts and shorts and blah di blah ..... that they never wear!! Would impulse
buying be deemed subliminal? I'll need to check that out, the terminology or whatever but it's all the same. Them telling us what to do with the
hard earned cash they paid us.
This is just one thing among a list of things that's just so wrong with the world. Everything inter-connected for one purpose......
