yea my bad for not explaining anything in my first reply.
I do definitely get the feeling of some kind of sexual innuendo from that ideo you posted, especially just from the wording and how things were said. But im having trouble believing, that there was a boardroom full of people, who consiously got together and said, "lets make the poker table a symbol for a dick and the river a pussy."
like i said that seems a little much, but who knows. (obviously you will if you really do get into advertising).

obviously im open for criticism, however that wasn't even constructive.. It just felt as if it was just a simple blow, and you were disregarding it.. But yeah look into advertising more and you'll find out the simple tricks companies pull in order to draw your attention.. I've got a degree in psychology and i'm going for a 2 year program in advertising.. you would be amazed at what you generally see on an everyday basis

lol good burn man.
I probably should've made it more clear i was joking around tho ...oops.
innuendo is everywhere, including advertising. i just found calling the poker table a dick to be a little much...but who knows.

i totally agree. But what i find funny is that companies are having a laugh at this, and taking full advantage of people's thoughts and ideas. It's basically propoganda. I can't believe that majority of people would contest this too, like the guy who posted after me.. People are blind to subliminal advertisements, and when they're given proof that they exist, they argue and disbelieve it.. Or worse they're apathetic..

I think we need a dose of realism here. The fact of the matter is that sex sells. You only have to go into your local newsagent and look at the magazine covers. Anything from motoring magazines to Puzzle Weekly - there's a better than even money chance that there will be an attractive lady on the cover, and in all probability she will not be dressed for the Siberian winter.
Why? Simple really [some* / many* / most* / all*- delete as appropriate] guys think with their genitalia rather than their brains! So, if you want to sell a product, what would you do, put a picture of a fury animal, a hairy *rsed lumberjack or a pretty girl on the cover? Well, if you want to keep your job, I'd strongly recommend the latter.

I can't stand watching commercials these days.. Maybe it's because i'm a little older and i understand the marketing behind it, and how the notion of "sex sells"
But seriously everytime i watch a commercial i can't help pick out the subliminal messages in them. For instance today i saw a commercial for the ery first time. I bet it has probably leaked out to the rest of the world now, however i'll post it here for you to look at.
Watch the commercial first before i explain the subliminal message behind it. Just think "sex" when watching it, and try and put the pieces together.. It's an advertisement for pokerstars with a young attractive female pro Vanessa Rousso.
http://www.pokerstars.net/poker/tv/ i dont know if it will show the one with anessa rousso but just look at the bottom and scroll across, and you will see it.. it's called "Vanessa Bungee 30"
The whole idea is she is taking a bungee leap off a bridge, and this is essentially... | | Read Entire Entry |
