Post-Subliminal Era Has Begun

What do you do when your plan to dumb down the general public has worked better than you anticipated? Well, someone on Madison Avenue is inevitably gonna realize, “Hey! Why is our subliminal advertising no longer working?” Time to adapt. The Dumbing Down of America is way ahead of schedule.

Apparently, the general public is so far-gone now, that clever subliminals, so long a staple of neural programming and consumer-based demand-generation, are literally, going over the heads of their intended audiences. I guess some “genius” at Tavistock didn’t realize that when you dumb-down the conscious mind, the subconscious eventually follows.

So, it is time to go super-liminal, or in layman’s terms, “obvious.” {*1}

From what I understand, feminist organizations are now complaining that the above ad, which recently debuted in Times Square, is overtly sexual. Note to radical feminists: you think? So, for years and years, you were happy to shop at Target, who’s logo, is an ancient symbol signifying the vagina. However, the moment they clue you in on what that symbol represents, you shout chauvinism and threaten boycott?

Sudden concern is no justification for years of symbol illiteracy. To paraphrase Michael Tsarion: awareness does not begin when you realize “someone’s been selling you a lie,” it begins when you admit to yourself, that “you’ve been buying a lie.”

Can we get back to the task at hand please? And, that task would be, the agenda of turning your little girls into complete sluts. Oh, thank you noble sirs at Viacom. I remember back in the day, if you had hopes of seeing women you just met run around naked, you had to get them drunk first. It’s so nice to see your company dedicating its MTV “programming” towards the charitable goal of saving us gents a few dollars on alcohol.

By chance, might some of you other mega-companies wanna pitch in and hurry the process along? Oh, thank you Wal-Mart!

Maybe I’m kind of obtuse, but, if I read this correctly, it’s basically saying, “Who needs money, when you’ve got a p*ssy between your legs?” Wow, now that is Super-liminal. It’s kind of like a corporate symbiosis between Visa International and the National Association of Pimps and Pornographers. Cross-marketing? Help me out Madison Avenue. Symbiosis? What do you guys call it?

Regardless, I’m sure the world’s largest retail chain was more than happy to contribute. Good to know that Wal-Mart, while resolute in their focus to destroy the American middle-class, {*2} is happy to lend a hand with a few other agendas. Conscious of the fact that molding an already developed mind is extremely difficult, Wal-Mart chose to distribute these panties in their Juniors section (i.e, girls aged from 8 to 12).

Alas, I will finish this by addressing those males who somehow ended up on this blog via Google search, solely because I threw words like “vagina” and “naked” in here. [and, I seriously hope, your query didn't also include: "+ little girls"] Don’t you worry! These companies are listening. And, what they hear you saying is, “I don’t care about this shit! I just want more blow-jobs!”

Your friends at Walt Disney are way ahead of you. Today’s graduating seniors come pre-programmed. The good people at Disney figured out that phallic objects were passé 12 years ago. {*3} Multiple studies had proven that children were being mentally stunted from over-exposure to television in their early years. Thus, Disney, in keeping with the times, moved on from phallic-like objects, to phalluses.

Now, were I to believe in a place called “Hell,” I would finish this by saying we we’re going to it in a hand-basket, or something like that. Being more pragmatic, I will instead ask, “What makes you think we’re not already there?”

*1: I thought I had created a new word (”superliminal”), but as a reader quickly pointed out to me, not the case. Ah, the ego would so like think we are in some way unique, but alas, keeping with the theme of this blog, we are all but repeating parts of a prior consciousness. [LB]

*2: Wal-Mart’s full-frontal assault on middle-class is well-documented, and a topic I plan to address in upcoming articles. There are plenty of resources out there which detail what the Bentonville company is really about. The High Cost of Low Prices movie is a but a good intro. [LB]

*3: The penis on the Little Mermaid cover, is the literal “tip-of-the-iceberg” when it comes to Disney and sexual programming. Just do a little research for yourself, {*4} and you’ll be surprised at how many sexual images and references regularly appear in Disney movies. Priests with hard-ons. Topless women. SEX in the stars. “Good teenagers take off your clothes.” Implied coitus. [LB]

4: Apparently, Snopes, the so-called “definitive Internet reference source for urban legends, folklore, myths, rumors, and misinformation,” claims we should not trust our lying eyes, because the penis on the Little Mermaid VHS cover is a hoax. However, according to Snopes, the admitted and pending North American Union is also a hoax. So, if you would rather accept anything from this now-proven, for-sale, agenda-driven site as gospel, then you, my friend, may belong to the “general public” I mentioned above. [LB]

  1. Advertising is pure insanity. Yes. It’s amazing how ridiculous it all seems when you stay away from it for awhile. Funny as I make my living with it… And yes, people are extremely gullible.

  2. Super-liminal is old.

  3. Thanks Dick, noted

    Should have recalled the words of Jung first before writing that first note.

  4. Whoa there!

    Before you go off half-cocked, you really should take a look outside of your environment.

    This is not the dumbing down of America; it is rather the awakening of a generation to the puritanical lies we’ve been fed since the wackos and freaks came here to produce a “godly” nation in the first place.

    Sex is good. Sexuality is good. The human body is beautiful. Lust is natural, and is the primary reason our species survives to this day.

  5. Wolter,

    Yes, I’ll admit to being a little over-the-top in this, and that was intentional.

    The “awakening” to the “control” of the church you’re talking about has been taking place for at least 50 years. Now, people are waking up to the other forms of control exerted on us: education and the media.

    I’d highly recommend the aforementioned Dumbing Down book. I’d also recommend The Underground History of American Education or Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling by John Gatto. He details how American schools were converted to the Prussian Model, which emphasizes producing good workers and soldiers, smart enough to run the widget-machine or pull a trigger, but not very capable of critical-thinking.

    I could see how the article may be interpreted as prudish. My own moral inhibitions towards sex are limited. I’m all for the free exercise of it by people according to their own set of values.

    I am looking at the big picture, way beyond “my own environment.” What I have a MAJOR PROBLEM with is when Disney and others, try to subversively shape the values of young minds. That does not lead to the free-practice of sexuality by free-will. That is programming!

  6. OK, I do see what appears to be a penis on the box of the Little Mermaid … but I’m not following your claims about the Target logo being an ancient fertility symbol. Obviously, the ad with the woman spreading her legs with her crotch in the center of the bull’s eye is sexually suggestive, but the logo itself? It looks like a target to me, which would be consistent with the name of the store.

  7. Igor, a “target” symbol would involve concentric rings. Some could argue with good merit that the symbol is a solar one, but based on what I’ve seen in this case, I side with the vagina interpretation.

  8. Here’s an example;take the world famous Virgin logo.If you turn it slightly to the left so that where the underline and tail of the g form an X, you’ll also notice the V forms a slightly hidden S and the i, r and part of the g form a broken capital E, spelling the word SEX.
    So you have Sex/Virgin in one word. Very clever Mr.Branson.

  9. i’m starting to get angry and confused. I have a fellow on youtube saying that there are subliminal words mulitple subliminal words like “sex” “seek sex”. And i see a few of them. then i read this article that says the original scientific study done on subliminals is an admitted hoax. then i look at my leg hair and i see the word sex written all over them. i can’t watch movies that are high on sex and violence or even just high on sex because it feeds gas to my fire and makes me go insane, and all i end up thinking about is killing myself. i know the movies are fucking with me. because i come out wanting to kill myself. i think im 1/1100th the person i could be, if i had never watched tv or went to school. i wonder what kind of person would i be. certainly not as weak and pathetic and narcisstic and super-insane ego as i am now.
    i know you don’t know me, and yeah some truth i can’t handle like all that i am is a result of my choices. i believe im a robot with no choices it just happens. would you break apart this article? because right now popular mechanics and anthony pratkanis are sounding more journalistic than loose change and you
