I wonder why "I Robot"? It's an ancient film, not?

Maybe they put "I Robot" because of Will Smith's new movie "Hancock." By putting "I Robot," they would get you thinking of "I Robot," and , consequently, the actors within. Will Smith is the star in the movie, so you'd probably be thinking of him. Thinking of Will Smith who also holds, for the most part, the sole role in the new movie "Hancock," you may begin to think of "Hancock." This is purely speculative, but who knows?

I have doubts about the efficacy of advertising on a conscious level.

The companies that spend the most on advertising sell the most stuff. Take Coca-Cola, or McDonalds for instance. In 2006, Coca-Cola spent $1.9bn on advertising; McDonalds spent $1.6bn. These are both global companies. Coca-Cola is listed by Forbes as one of the top 25 (or something like that, but no more) richest companies. McDonalds wasn't on this list, but they serve around 56 million people daily. 56 million people wouldn't buy McDonalds' nasty ass food every day, without advertising. I hardly ever watch television. I hardly (maybe five times a year) ever eat McDonalds. I never drink Coca-Cola unless I have to. Think what you want, but advertising does work.

The subconscious mind is alot stronger than the conscious mind.

If you didn't know that....uhmm, well now you know :p

I don't even know how to spell conscious...or is it the sub conscience mind?

They even tried useing this on a news conference they Believed I think it was the BTK killer, was watching. all the viewing audience saw was a flash, well some of them. But it was a message saying to "call the police chief now!", or some such. It didn't work, oh well.

You are so right about tv being an addiction.

We moved to a new home and they couldn't connect the cable company we had been using .
To make a long story short, I've been having to watch the 3 local channels and I feel like I'm having withdrawal pains. I miss my cable so much!
I'm not trying to derail this thread.
I think I'll start reading my many books that are gathering dust
It's really scary if they are coming into our homes like this and trying to control out behavior.

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......

Okay, so what does a millisecond of advertising cost on CBS? I mean, they sell 30 second slots on the Super Bowl broadcast for millions. I have doubts about the efficacy of advertising on a conscious level. What would make a profit based corporation spend money on something questionable?

I'll bet someone in a network's sales department could tell us? How about it, ATSers? Any of you sell advertising on CBS?



They sell 30 second slots for millions during the superbowl because millions will "most definitely" be watching that particular show. A spot at the exact same time the next day will be about 90% less in cost.. just the way it works.

My advice to you sir is if you catch it again, call your local station that was sending that signal out. Request that you get whatever show it was off their backup system that most stations keep for a short period of time. Its not a request they actually get that often.. quite surprising.

Prime-time is where the "magic" happens. Your local affiliate is in charge of programming until that magic hour of the mindless masses enjoying the boob tube. Thats when your affiliate starts receiving signal from NOC and pumping it out in a seamless transfer.

Even if you catch your signal from a cable source.. you are still seeing the picture that your local affiliate is receiving (that same feed is being uplinked to the cable source).

I have seen alot of strange "glitches" at work, but as far as subliminal dubiousness... I am skeptical. I have looked... of course I did not have magic glasses.

Hi,

Try some fresh air and get away from that screen. TV serves no real purpose although I watch it, I do so sparingly.

Read those books - the one thing you will get from books over tv is knowledge and it will prove more useful in the long run.

(Hate to sound like a conspirator against tv. but the quality nowadays is so poor, you have to wonder what its role is and what good it does - this includes entertainment)!

My thoughts.

Brei.

Lighten up man - just a bit of fun, or can you not understand that.

If you think I was watching iRobot because ... hmm. (Fun).

Chill - here have some of my wine.

Brei.

It seems that the messaging\ advertising is broadcast during the show(s) i.e. whatever is on at the time. Not during commercials. ( Thus Branding the Show.) The message had lines though the lettering and was flickering very fast. but the entire image seemed to be in this very light gray colored box at the top of the screen, sort of super imposed onto the television Image, but yet separate. you could see the television show with the flickering image, but the image stood out like day and night to me. This is why I’m trying to figure out if I need a high speed camera for this kind of capture.
