Subliminal Messages - Drink Grand Marnier and Have a Threesome
And you can quote me: "Subliminal messages in advertising are nothing new. The book Subliminal Seduction blew that scam wide open years ago, with pictures of subliminal messages which included orgies hidden in the ice cubes of drinks in ads. "

Subliminal messages in advertising are nothing new. The book Subliminal Seduction blew that scam wide open years ago, with pictures of subliminal messages which included orgies hidden in the ice cubes of drinks in ads. Back then one of the biggest culprits was the liquor industry, and it’s interesting to see that things haven’t changed all that much. In this picture - from a current advertisement for Grand Marnier - the message is clear. In fact it’s less subliminal and more seduction. In the kindest light, the message in this Grand Marnier bottle is “drink Grand Marnier and you’ll have a wonderful social life with smiley, happy friends.”
But c’mon, what is the real message in the picture in this bottle?

A threesome? Actually, I’m not sure how that’d be derived from this picture, and trust me, I’m looking. In fact, if this is two males and a female, while there’s nothing wrong with that, they’d actually risk offending male homophobics, which I would think would exceed any potential benefits of attracting those interested in threesomes.
Gasp, am I really becoming so old that I no longer see implicit sexual imagery?

When you see an add with a plane, that’s for us to take a plane…so bad.
same thing with people having food in a restaurant: they are pushing us to eat!
cheers!
