As a person of the Buddhistic persuasion, I've always been fascinated by advertising. It is, after all, the intentional attempt to "implant desire" in people, and as most know, many Buddhists tend to believe that desires -- or at the very least the attachment to one's desires -- is ego-binding, and thus not completely desirable.
Still, ya gotta appreciate the creativity with which some ad people implant subliminal messages into seemingly innocuous ads, to hopefully trigger equally subliminal desires, and thus sell more of the product. As an example, have you found yourself eating at Wendy's more often these days? They don't have them here in France, but as I remember, they actually had salads and foods that even a vegetarian could enjoy. But is their cooking *really* like Mom's? http://stocklogos.com/topic/hidden-message-new-wendys-logo <http://stocklogos.com/topic/hidden-message-new-wendys-logo>
