This company has taken good, clean humor, and made it into something that will grab people's attention! They show the canvas being "eaten' using awesome photoshop techniques! Which in reality, is fooling our minds!! For me, this is the kind of ad that is worth looking at. It doesn't have any garbage in it, and is good, clean, and something that I find very funny! ...but sadly, unique. If only other companies would take advirtising advice from these people:D Dan? First off it has used a great attention grabber to make you look at the ad. Then once it has you, you realize that this product gives you strong teeth and if you teeth were this strong you two could do this. the visual aspect is great the perspective of tering up the bilboard is great. Spatial aspect is well used only using the ad overlay for 2/3 of the bilboard and leaving the last third empty, and the tear effect is completed by painting the ripped up suports on some of the sign. Overall a awsome ad attention grabing and it gets the message across. Peter =our norms= what we accept as normal ​ = ADVERTISING: =

Tv commercials,magazines, billboards everywhere you go, there will be a gorgeous men or woman all around you. Woman are always stereo-typed into looking perfect, blond hair blue eyes, perfect skin, brown hair, brown eyes, perfect skin. Skinny, tall, just gorgeous everyones perfect man or woman. But nobody realizes that, that person it not real, that person has been photo shopped, or starved into looking so skinny, everyone I've met in my past experiance trys to hard to look like, Paris Hilton, or the most popular girl, that every guy loves, they wear so much make up, they don't even look human, they wear revealing clothes that your wondering are they even wearing clothes. Nobody is them selves in this century, everyone is trying to be the hottest thing, everyone is trying to be perfect and beautiful. Everyone is looking at the exterier looks, no one is looking at how a person laughs at different things, no one looks at how some one is sad, happy, or any emotions, everyone is focused on looks, and not personality, the most beautiful person in the world, whether is male or female, can be a horrible person. People put down different people on there looks, because they dont think they have any good looks. When everyone is beautiful inside and out.We are all so blind to what is actually beautiful. We are all Beautiful, on the inside. There is no "More Beautiful"...just wish people could see that...Not everyone goes on looks. People who look at a personality, rather than looks, are very unique, and amazing people. There should be no Hiarachy. Self esteem, is really hard to get back. Once more than 10 people say you are ugly, or something horrible. You change everything to get them to call you beautiful or pretty. But it shouldnt be that way. Its to hard, and hurtful. Everyone is amazing. Everyone just needs to get on the right track... (sorry i keep saying everyone and all of us...but 90% of the world basis everything on looks. and if i repeated the same thing, sorry, it just fit into the sentence. so sorry!)

Tears almost rolled down my face after watching this video. It's depressing that the video is exactly what goes on in this world. How many times do we look at something and say, "wow, that will make me an exceptionally great person", or " I need that to be more excellent", but when we finally get whatever it was, we realize that it really doesn't improve who we are, or make our lives better. { [] } When I was younger, I looked at this DS-2 and I said to myself, "I would be SOOO cool, and SOOO much better if a had that". Well guess what? I got it, and it didn't make a difference (part of the reason was because my amp that I had then didn't sound to swell, and because I was still just starting with guitar). But the MAIN reason was because it wasn't the pedal that made me a decent guitar player, it was me. My teacher says, "Tone is in your fingers, not your feet", and what he says is so true. Not just with guitar but with real life too. [that rhymed] It's not about the clothes, or the hair, or the shoes, or the stuff. It's about who we are. Not saying that those things are bad, but saying that those types of things need to not be our number one priority. As guys, we need to ask ourselves, are we making girls feel as beautiful as they really are? Are we treating them with respect? Or are we making them believe in these silly ads? As guys/men, we need to try and make all girls feel special, and we can do that through what we say, and how we treat them, cause when we think about it, they really are. But that's just my opinion.

-Dan?

Wow... Do we as Canadians have a sick sense of what is Beautiful, ravishing and just normal. No wonder young girls start dieting and becoming Self-conscious at such young ages because they have a computer editing system to live up to in looks. Editors putting the thoughts in their young minds, making them think that the only thing that’s pretty is on billboards and that we need to look like this, sick isn’t it? Dove came out with a new campaign for women, “We see beauty all around us” and they have seminars to help make you realize that billboard pretty, isn’t real. .. Miss.Bengtsson

Insded of analizing the message of the ad I am going the design route. The visual is great, lighting, camera and angles and the sence of the foreground background aspect is superb. The audio is generic but in this perticular ar the audio does not have to be good. there is not much of a spoken linguistic aspect but there is a huge underlying message, which I am not going to reiterate becaus I am pretty shure everyone is sick of talking about it. Moving on to the gestural body language and such. In the finished bilboard ad the body position and facial expression is set up to be attractave. The photo-shopping in the end was impecably done Overall the design process of this billboard is exelent. Peter

=N. Korea rattles its nuke fuel=

North Korea said yesterday that it has reprocessed 8,000 spent nuclear fuel rods and extracted enough plutonium to bolster its atomic stockpile, raising the stakes in an apparent effort to push the United States into direct negotiations. Reprocessing the spent fuel rods would give North Korea enough weapons-grade plutonium for at least one more atomic bomb, experts said. Pyongyang is believed to have enough weaponized plutonium for half a dozen nuclear weapons.North Korea warned the US on Monday that it would beef up its nuclear stockpile if Washington refuses to hold bilateral talks. It has demanded direct talks with the US to resolve the protracted standoff over its nuclear program. The US has said it is willing to meet one-on-one with North Korea if the talks lead to the resumption of six-nation negotiations involving China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Russia and America. Discussions between a North Korean envoy and a US official last week did not yield an agreement to hold talks, both sides said. On Monday, North Korea's Foreign Ministry warned, "If the US is not ready to sit at a negotiating table with the (North), it will go its own way," an apparent threat to bolster its nuclear arsenal. Pyongyang said it remains "compelled to take measures to bolster its deterrent for self-defense to cope with the increasing nuclear threat and military provocations of the hostile forces," North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency said yesterday. The report cited "noticeable success" in weaponizing plutonium "for the purpose of bolstering up the nuclear deterrent."

N.Korea 'Completes Plutonium Extraction'
North Korea on Tuesday said it completed reprocessing 8,000 spent fuel rods in late August. "Noticeable successes have been made in turning the extracted plutonium weapon-grade for the purpose of bolstering the nuclear deterrent," it said. The claim was made by the official KCNA news agency. It said the North was "compelled to take measures for bolstering its deterrent for self-defense against the increasing nuclear threat and military provocations of the hostile forces." If reprocessing of spent fuel rods has really been completed, it could have obtained some 7-8 kg of plutonium from all 8,000 spent fuel rods, providing enough raw material for one nuclear weapon, for which about 6-7 kg of plutonium is normally needed. But the claim is not new. In a letter it sent to the UN Security Council president in early September, the North made a similar claim, saying that reprocessing of spent fuel rods was "near completion" and extracted plutonium was being turned into a weapon.

This is a before and after picture of an acne product. They kinda change the mood and make the product look a lot better than it is by making the picture look nicer. In the after picture she is smiling and showing her perfectly white teeth, she has make-up on, earrings, and her hair looks nicer. So it just seems to exaggerate on how good the product is.

This ads subliminal message is saying "you need to buy this lipstick and then the world will be a better, happier and easier place to live". That exaggeration is so huge I laughed when I read it. The world tries to make us believe looks are the most important thing. And apperently that it's important to be able to do it with one hand. Wearing this lipstick isn't going to give you invincible super-powers. We are all beautiful with or without lipstick. Michelle

Well the message this ad is sending is that if you as a man buy this cologne, women will just begin to take their clothes off when you show up because you smell so amazingly great. This is attempting to connect Tag body spray with your "sex drive" (if you don't know what this is you need to have a talk with your parents) (and I'm just stating facts here I am not trying to make anyone feel uncomfortable because this is an extremely commonly used tactic in advertising) which is something that nearly every human on earth can relate to. That is the goal of advertising, making your product relatable. All this to say that the subliminal message in this cartoon is that you will become "sexy" (that is a misused term) if you buy this body spray and you can seduce women. Which by the way is a horrible reason to buy it becuase it makes girls feel like objects and it is every man or young man's job to make sure that young and young at heart women feel like a kajillion dollars whether romantically or just as friends. Anyways that's my little philosophy class. (and yes she should feel so special that they made a new kind of money just to describe her)

sorry the quality isn't very good but you can still get the point. Analysis coming soon to a wiki near you The Boss

The subliminal message in this is that this beer is just too good to be wasted on a whole bunch of friends while socailizing and watching a televised sporting event, not only is it too good to be wasted but if you buy Bud Light you go to extreme lengths to hide said beer from your friends. So much that you will install a revolving wall without the owner of the other half of that wall knowing that you installed it (sneaky I know!!). If Bud Light is truly that good than YOU MUST BUY IT. Another subliminal message is that if a magical fridge appeared in you appartment carrying the best beer ever then it is to be worshipped like a God because it has the power to bless them whenever it chooses. As a side note you'd think that guy would notice that every time he turns the wall all his beer gets cleaned out.... Let this be a lesson to you all, NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE!! well it didn't have anything to with driving, but drinking is probably best enjoyed in small doses or not at all, preferably not at all but you have the personal freedom to do as you choose, anyways I'll stop rambling now.

The Boss Interestingly enough, in our skeptical society we are quite easily manipulated by humour. We may be angry if we recognize the tactic of fear (you are getting old.....) or the tactic of inadequacy (everyone else has this brand....) but use humour and we will let you get by with a whole lot of messages. Think the beer companies figured that out?CF

I'm sorry all my videos are such terrible quality but you have to admit the humorously portrayed subliminal messaging behind each of them which is desplayed all in their own unique way. In this particular widget of humour we have a young boy who is seeking a fizzy refreshment on this apparently hot (possibly Mexican) solar cycle (which possibly means this is a commercail showing our global effect on the world). He purchases a Coca-Cola followed by another soda of the same brand. He then sets them both on the ground and steps on them. I'll bet at this point you were wondering what on earth this small (possibly Mexican) boy was doing. Placing more money into the slot he reaches up to the top button which he can now reach thanks to his small foot stool made of Coke cans, and pushes the top button which is the panel used to select Pepsi, another brand of Cola. This is humorous because it shows that is is worth paying triple the price to have Pepsi meaning that Pepsi is three times more valuable then Coca-Cola. The subliminal message is... well that Pepsi is better than Coca-Cola as I just said.

media type="youtube" key="0Jai7H_95As" height="344" width="425" [] Ah (say in a relaxing tone), gibson guitars. To some, just a name, to others, a whole new way of playing the guitar. Part of the reason why I picked this ad was because I love guitar, and so I figured that this would be fun:) In this video, the "king" is not content with what he has which is causing him to be depressed. Therefore, his wife, "the queen" is trying to make him happy. Since he's not happy with an eleven foot high(I'm exaggerating:) picture of himself, he is then presented with jewels and ladies... I think. (in my opinion, he was right in not liking this gift, he's married already!!). Thirdly he is offered a very admirable car. I'm working on getting the name. But if you know, then please inform me. Then last but not least, my favorite part of the ad, he sees the gibson les paul (the kind of gibson that it is), and finally smiles. For according to the ad, "only a Gibson, is good enough". __My View:__ Now, I have a 1976 Gibson les paul black beauty special, that I got in the united states of america at a very good bargain. When I saw the guitar, I was very facinated with how good of shape that it was in for the year that it was, so after some researching, and some major thinking, I purchased the guitar. Now, I was totally boiled beans with the guitar that I had before, and I would have been totally iced raspberries if i didn't get the gibson. Why? Cause I was content with what I had. See, the king isn't content with what he has, so when he gets his gibson, he probably won't be happy for very long. This ad tells us that we need a gibson guitar to be happy when that's not true. Cause we should be happy even if we DON'T have a gibson. But like everything else in this world, I guess we NEED this guitar to be happy... not. -Dan?

Well done Dan? (I put the question mark as a tribute to you liking question marks, you really did do well) I think you have some excellent opinions on material wealth. I think this is a very good display of subliminal (or slightly less sub and more liminal, ha that made no sense but I said it anyways to mean that it wasn't overly discrete) messaging in advertising. Oh, and just as a side note thirdly is actually a word :-), aww my smiley has a nose, it's so cute

media type="youtube" key="6jLSUSqH55Q" height="344" width="425" Before I say anything... wait, I already have! Anyways, even if you did buy this car and plugged your guitar into it, it wouldn't sound that great. Why? Cause Jonny Boy is probably running through his Two-Rock amp. (the kind that he uses)

This sounds like quite the offer, first, buy a Volkswagen, and second, get a $50 John mayer special guitar. Doesn't that sound like quite the offer? I mean I would totally buy that, not for the car, but totally for the guitar:) See, this ad is saying that we should buy this Volkswagen because John Mayer made a guitar for it, and because Volkswagens are so great. Um, no, I'm not thinking so. The subliminal message of this cartoon is that SINCE John mayer DID sign his name on the back of the headstock, then that automatically makes the car so much better. Not really a great way to advertise. But from a consumer in today's economy. (a guitar playing consumer) The Advertisment caught my attention more BECAUSE John Mayer was in it playing the guitar, but remember, that's just me. And I'm a bit different. -Dan?

[] This is almost the exact same as the John Mayer one! [] This ad tells us that we will love our toyota rav4 So much that we will hurt the people that we love the most, our wife or husband... well, you SHOULD love them the most:) [] After watching this ad, it was like a kick in the shins, it totally hurt me and who I am:) [] This is a subliminal message that was discovered by someone else... but I found!

The underlying subliminal message is these athletes are awsome because they wear nike therefore to be this awsome you must wear nike.

Canadian Forces ad, I like this one [] the others were too long for me to put, otherwise i would have This ad sends out the subliminal message that the Canadian forces have all of the fun and adventure.
