Subliminal
So I ran across this today:
A single frame advertisement for McDonald's popped up on the Food Network. Some might call that subliminal advertising, which is illegal in the US and Canada.
The Food Network claims it was a glitch, and I actually believe them this time. Back when James Vicary introduced the nation to subliminal advertising there was deluge of psychological test proving the methodology to be entirely ineffective.
However, a co-worker and I believe they have stumbled onto a very useful, if annoying tool. Basically this is an effective way to get Tivo users to watch a commercial. Just flash the screen and see who rewinds to find out what happened.
