 |  Sick of subliminal advertising So we have the big brother eye, hell's kitchen, and the BBC will start soon no doubt. I thought they weren't allowed to advertise stuff like that? Or do they show it just long enough to be permissible? I've had enough of them, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. |

| IIRC, subliminal messages would be just one single frame, whilst the Big Brother advertisements are several frames of animation. So with subliminal adverts, you don't actually see them, but your brain does. Or something... I'm not clued up on the matter. They are annoying though, I'll agree with that  |

What I'm saying is they're bordering on subliminal to the point of them annoying me. |

| agreed they are annoying, but can be fun too, i put a single frame subliminal message into one of my college films at the start of the year, it just flashed up during the film saying "fred's a tw*t" with fred being one of the guys i was working with on it,who was doing his best at really pi**ing me off. |

| Ooh this brings back horrible memories of that flash animation with that music that gets gradually quiter and the instinct is to turn up the volume... Then all of a sudden you hear this mighty great scream and see this picture of a mutilated face  My god I've never come so close to falling off my chair, crapping myself, having a seisure and a heart attack, all at the same time  Home cinema: Toshiba 42XV555DB Full HD LCD | Onkyo TX-SR705 | NAD C352 | Monitor Audio Bronze B2 | Monitor Audio Bronze C | Monitor Audio Bronze BFX | Yamaha NSC120 | BK Monolith sub | Toshiba HD-EP35 HD-DVD | Samsung BD-P1400 BluRay Player | Pioneer DV-575 | Squeezebox3 | Virgin Media V+ Box PC: Asus P5B | Core2duo 2.13GHz | 2GB DDR2 PC6400 | Inno3d iChill 7900GS | Auzentech X-Plosion 7.1 | 250GB | 500GB | NEC DVDRW | Dual AG Neovo 19" HTPC: | Core2Duo E6420 2.13GHz | 2GB DDR2 | 250GBx2 | Radeon X1300 | Terratec Aureon 7.1 | Windows MCE 2005 Laptop: 1.5GHz Centrino | 512MB | 60GB | 15" Wide TFT | Wifi | DVDRW |
