Last year, the New York Times published an article on subliminal messages unearthed using the "reverse-speech" technologies of an Australian professor.

It was an interesting article (for those of you who can access NYT archives through a university here's the info:

The Arts/Cultural Desk | April 18, 2002, Thursday
THE POP LIFE; When Speech Does a 180
By Neil Strauss (NYT) 917 words


The website www.reversespeech.com was referred to in the article.

In this ad, the 'face' would seem to be related to homosexual activities. It is looking directly towards the crotch of the cowboy in the centre of the ad. Perhaps other interpretations can be placed on such a configuration of elements. If so, the author would like to hear of them.

I don't get it, that guy must be so high to see these things...

Yeah. Way too far-fetched. In that case clouds pretty much entice you to buy anything.

I wasted another hour reading on his site and still I can't find anything he's describing...

hehe finally something

quote:

The Bodyform ad has a shape superimposed on the dress of the model as is flows over her right thigh. It is partly obscured by the back of the chair of the young girl on the left. The shape on her dress is the same shape as the Bodyform pad as illustrated on the pack. Further embedded in the Bodyform shape is the outline of a fish. The fishy shape is presumably intended to trigger thoughts (worries) about possible BO during the menstrual period.

I don't see the connection between a fish and bleeding a couple of days; just looks like a photograph with bad lighting to me. Shouldn't they associate nice things with their product instead of negative shit?

Fish = bad smell...

what will happen to you if you don't use their product... bleh

I hope you're a gynaecology major, otherwise I wouldn't like to know why you're doing sniffing menstruation liquid

haha its not me who says it, its on the webpage. But my girl tells me the odour is nasty, I believe her and I don't need any proof

I'll take her word for it. It sounds logical, it's human waste in a sense.
I still think those people putting fish in pad commercials are slightly deranged. Seriously, what's the use? It conveys a more negative than positive image if it smells bad.
