I took this one in the wild a while ago When I was a teen, someone pointed out that the pieces of ice swirling around the can on the artwork covering the front of the schools Coke machine were arranged as sensual women. I saw it at the time but then again, when you're a horny teen it's not difficult to see naked people in abstract things. Barely plausable sensual deniability in advertising has definitely been a thing forever. E: went looking and we had this one:  The rest of the can had similar posed "sexy figures in ice" all over it but I can't find a full pic. jojoinnit has a new favorite as of 07:42 on Jun 11, 2020 |

On the other hand the CIA also had a psychic research division so that seems like exactly the kind of madness a marketing department with infinite budget would come up with.

Somebody in the 70s heard Russia had psychic spies so the CIA started a counter-psychic program that kept going all the way until 1995.

"Subliminals" was a huge thing in the 70's. Hidden sessy images in ads, a "study" showing a single frame of a Coke inserted into a movie increased concession sales 40%, background sounds and vocals in songs, etc. Even before the whole "backwards masking" poo poo of the 80's. I heard a guy claiming the "Ooga-chaka" in Hooked on a Feeling was really "who got sucked off". And not some stoner rando, but a marketing guy. There were dire warnings that advertisers and the government would be controlling our minds with subliminals (Yep, the basis for They Live). I caught on to it being bullshit when another researcher had a pic of a Ritz cracker with the word SEX allegedly imprinted all over it. He'd basically drawn the letters around all the bumps and bubbles on the cracker. If you look at any random close set group of similarly sized circles, you can fill in pretty much any letters you want. (Or that's what they want you to think!)

If you look at any random close set group of similarly sized circles, you can fill in pretty much any letters you want. The height of this was the "Bible Code" jackoffs who 'discovered' secret messages via the Equidistant Letter Sequence method which is where you look at every nth letter in a sequence and they sometimes spell out words, which they thought was super significant. Statisticians quickly showed that you can do the exact same thing with any other book, and one TV comedian even used the technique to find warnings about the 911 attack in Vanilla Ice lyrics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_code ... but the lovely Bible Code books were so popular that they topped the best seller lists and the movie rights were bought by Warner Brothers

Behavior and psychology scientists did some work presenting random vowel sounds to people and asking them what they heard. Turns out people hear what they are primed to hear, or motivated to hear - the sounds don't guide your behavior, your behavior guides how you interpret the sound. So the marketing guy outed a lot of his own obsession there.

As an aside I swear that the vocoded speech in the Beastie Boys' Intergalactic is "I have an erection" and not "another dimension."

To be honest it doesn't sound like "of". Nor would that lyric actually make sense. "From" would be more logical. It almost sounds like "go" but I dunno. It's been awhile. E: I slowed it down. I suppose it could be 'of'. But still, it wouldn't be like pinching the neck of Mr Spock. Or maybe. Can Vulcans be neck pinched? The Ape of Naples has a new favorite as of 15:14 on Jun 12, 2020 |
