Superliminal

Was flicking channels last week (I think it was last week, the days seem to run together now!) and saw some ABC program about the Arias shown on Channel 10. Subliminal messages! Apparently Channel 10 was inserting adverts into music video clips.

I searched youtube, found a video. (Have no idea how to post the video, so you'll just have to click the link and watch it that way). If you have trouble finding the subliminal message, pause around 00:02, 00:12, and around 00:20. Have a desire to buy Olay? Well, I don't. How do these subliminal messages work?

It cracks me up! Reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons where N*SYNC were featured, about joining the navy. The general guy said there were 3 types of messages: liminal, subliminal, and superliminal. Superliminal - hey you! Join the navy! (Sorry, probably only die hard Simpson fans would know).
