No offence to the OP but I'm starting to think that this whole thread is a subliminal message to get us to buy THEY LIVE on blueray or dvd.

Several people have asked for the OP to record the tv show with a video camera through the glasses, since this hasn't been done I find this very hard to believe, quite entertaining tho.

this wouldnt have anything to do with what your vision is like since your wife was able to
see the messages too.. so it must be what the lenses are make of or some the coatings .

I am eagerly awaiting new developments on this issue. For the naysayers: I did an experiment for a science fair a few years back and it proved that subliminal messages work. Unfortunately, all my documentation is on a computer with a fried processor, but I will post it as soon as I can get to it; hopefully within the next week or so.

Have you the OP seen anymore of these messages on any other shows, networks, channels? If I had see them once I'd be looking for them all over the place.

or like the KFC snacker commercial where if you look not even that closely, you will see that there are $1 bills in the lettuce. I AM SERIOUS!

It could be in there by the show people rather than the tv company. Invader Zim for example has hidden pigs..

For the last time it's not a 4 year old, mediocre Sci-Fi movie. IF they wanted you to see Hancock, they'd just write HANCOCK across the screen. It's the iRobot cleaning products! It's a GOOD thing you guys don't watch TVs. Combined with KFC and McDonalds, it's all consumer goods! Jesus Christ, are you guys really that in touch with the masses? Come on!

An FYI to all those who are requesting that the OP capture these images:

It will be impossible to capture the subliminal text because the camera would need to have the same binocular optics that the OP is using to see the subliminal message. Unless there is a camera that can capture in binocular with each lens using the same Rx that he is using it will be a futile attempt.

Didnt make it all the way through but I need to get some sleep, so if this has been said past where i stopped ready im sorry.

I just wanted to correct some peoples opinions.

I'm a business student and have taken some courses in marketing.

Maybe people have argued the merits of subliminal advertising due to seeing a logo doesnt make you want to purchase the product, be it food or whatever.

In cases such as these however, that is not the point. Its only new products or relativly unknown products that want to do that to you.

For big brands its an entirely different concept, I cant remember the word, so I'll call it the decision concept.

Simplified it is brand recognition.

Your hungry, trying to decide where to eat...well you choose McDonald's because you've heard it the most.

Sounds stupid? It does work. In fact some companies will make intentionally bad commercials, just so people talk about how bad they were. Even if you laugh to yourself a little at how bad it is, your thinking about, if you talk to someone else all the better.

All this ranting comes down to, subliminal advertising works, as we are more likly to purchase the more familiar when faced with a decision of like products, and it is not a conscious decision.

O.K. so I just now came across this thread and I find it very interesting. I too have seen They Live but it has been probably 15 years since I watched it whilst babysitting one Friday night around 2 a.m. so my memory is a little iffy, but if I recall there is something about a V in the movie. Am I right? This part of the OP's post kind of triggered a faint memory:

"One more thing I had forgot to mention. It might be important, I’m not sure. When wearing these reading glasses The first thing I noticed is that When looking at something at a distance it looks sort like (V ) not quite but sort puts things a little out of perspective. But when I hold a newspaper or magazine close it seems ok. I’m not sure if that has to do with the lens cut, the perception or both."

Or is that some other movie Victory or something with Reptilions? Anyway I was really thinking that this guy was legit until this thing about the V.



I don't know... kinda tired but maybe it might spark someone else's memory.

I do think we endure subliminal advertising but the whole glasses, They Live thing is hard to believe.

If these glasses are legit I totally want a pair.
