You would be utterly astounded at the sheer volume of phallic and otherwise sexual imagery is buried deep within (no pun intended) popular advertisements. I watched an entire video on this very subject for a marketing class in college.
FYI mvent2, This is the very first comment thread, ever, on which I've promoted using Opera; Sorrrrrry! if I've offended you, I just find Opera seems to be better for me right now, and as I said before "for some reason Flash video and other types weren't working for me in Firefox(and yes I had the latest Flash player installed). If anyone has suggestions to get it to work, or answers to my problem, I will start using Firefox again.", So if you don't have any answers then STFU.
@ shindaI'm not being peer pressured, I happen to really like Firefox, it was just getting really annoying having to switch browsers every time I wanted to watch a video or view something in Quicktime.
Hey, I was just looking around on the internet because about 10 years back a friend showed me some subliminal graphics on a coke machine. It was very unnoticeable and I have yet to meet anyone that knew of it. It was rather interesting and I'm sure it was intentional, as the graphic eventually had a slight change. The machine was a coke can with pieces of ice on the side as well as a little bit on the top. The top part resembled a woman lieing on her side with her hair falling over the lip of the can. In the upper-right area there was a guy with a flat top in the middle of doing a cannonball. And on the middle right of the can was a woman taking off her pants. All these were intricately carved pieces of ice. If anyone could get their hands on a good large size image of this thing I'd greatly appreciate it. The machine eventually changed about 5 years back to an almost unnoticeably different graphic. The only difference was that the ice appeared to simply be ice.
Hi there,I can laugh about it now, but back in 1994 when this happened it was almost the end of the design firm I worked for. Yes - I worked on the infamous Fell the Curves Coke campaign.It did not originate in South Australia, it was launched there though! The campaign was created in Sydney at a small design firm in St Leonards.It isn't an urban legend at all!The weirdest thing about it is that the illustrator was a fundamentalist Christian (secretly sexually frustrated I think!)Contrary to reports, legal action was not taken. Suffice to say though, we never worked on Coke or associated products again.:-(Koali333
