If any of you watch the tonight show with Jay Leno, there is a subliminal 4 created by lighting in the background.sorry, i dont see it. and if there is a four there, it’s most likely not on purpose and not subliminal. i’m assuming that 4 is the channel that he’s always on (sorry, i dont watch enough TV to know what channel Leno is on…)?

And one of the guests even came on and mentioned it, I beleive it was tom cruise a whileback. He’s on channel 3 for me though.May 31, 2006 at 10:51 pm #47588MintyCookie
Membershifter wrote:Well, if you manage to catch one, it really isn’t very subliminal then. Generally, the only way you can actually see these little messages is to freeze frame through the videos as they usually only appear on a few frames (there is usually about 30 frames/sec). I believe the reason they are there, at least in Disney cartoons, is the result of animators simply being funny. There are so many animators on a film, that its practically impossible to track down who did the naughtiness, making it difficult to prevent. Disney doesn’t put them there on purpose, they simply just slip through the cracks, and are usually cleaned up for the next release.The head animator was a sick perv and slipped it all in last second, he got fired so you shouldn’t find any of that stuff post-Pochahantas.

There are some others I’ve heard about, I don’t think I beleive all of them, but sometime I might watch those movies and find out. 😀One night a long time ago at a middle school birthday party we stayed up all night verifying all those rumors and it really does say that if you turn the volume way up, craziness.

MemberHrmm… I’ve never seen anything “Subliminal” in movies, or TV. … Technically, I wouldn’t know because true Subliminal triggers the sub-concious, not concious mind. But, anyhow, No.
I’ve heard about this in movies though. According to my 8th Grade Science Teacher, the Movie theaters added subliminal messages all the time into movies. Heres how it worked: You finally go out and see that movie you’ve been wanting to see. So, you’re sitting there, right, and all of a sudden, you -think- you saw some words flash on the screen. “Did I just see… No, it’s my imagination.” After a while, you see it a few times. Then, you feel thirsty all of a sudden. “Hey I think I’ll go get a Drink!”
The Movie theaters blended in phrases such as “YOU ARE THIRSTY” and “YOU ARE HUNGRY” to get potential movie-watchers to buy drinks and snacks from their concession stands to make more money, untill the F.C.C. caught up on it, BAN. It was pretty effective while it lasted.
People even use Subliminal Messages for therapy, relaxation, to quit smoking, all sorts of things. Site: http://www.innertalk.com/

ParticipantWell…Sami’s story about having that child watch it then start stripping…well…interesting. I don’t know how much I really believe all the disney stuff…I mean with the Aladin, I didn’t hear it until I really looked. One thing I thought was interesting…I saw a commercial that was for Sprite which started off saying “Subliminal Messages” then it would go to “Sublymenal” and flicker back and fourth quickly. Then, they showed a guy resting or something, you know when they have the cucumbers over their eyes…except it was limes! They were basicly just throwing it out there as a joke, but hey, it was interesting. I still don’t want to drink it though.

MemberOpps, my apologies Tom.
Guess my former Science teacher was wrong. 😮November 12, 2008 at 3:05 pm #47590Promethian247
MemberI don’t know if it was ment to be a subliminal messege or not, but in the original Wizard of Oz movie, when they’re walking down the Yellow Brick Road, there’s a man haging from a noose in the background.

Eh, I don’t know if I would call some of those disney things “subliminal messages” per say. They’re more like a “where’s waldo”. But, one interesting thing: I watch my neice sometimes and we watched Aladin once when she was about 2 years old. And during one part she just started stripping for no reason at all. I thought she was being funny, even though she’s never done that before, not even as a baby. Funny thing was that it was at that balcony scene. I didn’t hear about that until later from a friend, then we listened and what do you know…kind of funny. I thought it sounded more like “girls” instead of “teenagers” but, eh, whatever, it’s really rushed.
I think of “subliminal messages” are those little pictures that they were talking about. Right, most movies are shown at 30 frames a second, and even at one little frame you can catch it sometimes. Like the “cigarette burns” they talk about in fight club and such. Those are just one frame long. (Spent way too much time in TV production class and the station) Whether they work or not is a matter of opinion.
But those aren’t the only things that can have subliminal messages in them. Audio tracks can. My mother worked for a woman who owned a massage parlor once. During massages they play music, you know, that whole “Ah-ah-ahhhh…” serene feeling going on. Well, there are two audio tracks in everything you hear on TV and cassettes. (Two audios, heheh…learned that in TV production too!). And one track on her tapes was music and such, the other were little things, people saying “Oh, that feels good” and other relaxing mantras, things like that. Who knows if they ever worked or if it was just the massueses, but *shrug* eh.
came accross!

MemberYeah, Most of the movie producers want their agenda to show up in their films. The way they make money and get their views across to everyone. The biggest problem is that most of the general public starts to believe that is how life is and should be.
