Does Subliminal Advertising Really Work? "Josey and the Pusseycats"

Factual Questions
1

Ok I hate to admit it I watched Josey and the Pussycats last night. Hey a couple of the chicks were pretty goodlooking so leave me alone.

Anyway the oh I forgot ::possible spoilers::

The plot of the movie is how the record companies and the govt use subliminal advertising messages in rock music and movies. So I was wondering does it(subliminal advertising) really work on its targets? I mean could the govt or media be brainwashing us right now? I mean maybe even Cecil’s cite every once a while flashes "Buy a Coke NOW!? Well what do you think? I’ll read your answers in a minute for some reason I have to go get a Coke.

I think this site would more likely flash “READ A BOOK” or something.

Apparently not. We’ve had a flash applet periodically and surreptitiously telling people to "read Cecil’s column for a year now, and it hasn’t done a lick of good.

Don’t feel bad, WB–I saw it in theaters at a free preview. And Tara Reid is a babe.

Anyhoo, to supplement, manny’s link:

Here is a link to a *Skeptical Inquirer article on subliminal perception, and the Skeptic’s Dictionary entry on it as well.

Its illegal in most countries I know of.

…although you probably got that from the movie, when the bad guys were inevitably arrested at the end.

I don’t know how you can ask that question when the govt and the media just told you not to.
