I had a conversation with someone who told me she only let her kids watch certain things on tv or watch certain movies because of all the "subliminal messages" in them. Her claim is that there were pot plants in the background at the party in Toy Story, the word SEX written in the clouds on Lion King, a phallic symbol represented on the castle in Aladdin, and don't even get her started on Sponge Bob! And what about all those commercials and advertisements that are everywhere??

But who knows what the child sees, if their brains really recognizes those subliminal messages, or even if our brains recognize them? I mean really... take this commercial that's on t.v. right now...Hardees new jalapeno burger, I don't believe there is anything subliminal going on here... oh, wow, she sure likes that burger...oh my, she is really enjoying that burger, so spicy, so hot! Oh wow, I think I need to go get that burger...if that skinny chick eating that giant burger is getting such "pleasure" from that burger, I need that burger too! Surely that has got to be the best burger ever! If I eat that I can be skinny and feel sooooo good! I want that!!! I need that!!!! Lets go now!!!!!!

Nope, no subliminal messages in that commercial.

But I did put one in my advertisement. Let's see if you're brain will let you recognize it??
