From memory... You saw a guy from the back, short hair (people mistook him for Mike Feltman, and there was a resemblance), from a little above the waist up. His hands were in the air, both hands in a fist. It's a pseudo - classroom setting. In other words, the guy was thrilled that he accomplished something. So far, so good. Remember the overriding theme in VFP advertising -- "You're all alone". The ad goes on to tout the latest VFP (I'm not even sure 7.0 was even mentioned) how in essence VFP helped you with this programming accomplishment. The guy and his back/arms are what's in focus. Again, so far, so good. But... This guy is in the back of the room (symbolism right there). He's looking at the authority figure in the room. From memory, this was a lady, out of focus at the front of the room, almost like a school teacher. The guy, with his arms in the air, is clearly looking at this authority figure. But she is looking to her left (your right), not at the guy in focus with his arms in the air, but at at very out of focus person in the lower right of the ad. Unless you look at it directly, one doesn't realize that there's even a person there. So the direct theme of the ad was "Look what one person can accomplish with the latest VFP" The subliminal message was "You're all alone. Your boss won't even recognize you."
