Some of you may remember in 2000 when the Bush Administration was
accused of using subliminal stimuli in one of their ads. ![]()
"Bush says 'RATS' ad not meant as subliminal message"
You can see it online at:
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/09/12/bush.ad/
You can also hear G.W.'s reply on the same site...
It's actually quite ingenuous, but whether or not individuals would
actually react to it, a solid empirical test would be needed to say...
Cheers!

Are subliminal Message illegal? If so who
enforces the law? The FCC?

The FCC issued its only regulation on subliminal advertising on
Jan. 29, 1974. The entire regulation states:
"Subliminal Programming. The FCC sometimes receives complaints
regarding the alleged use of subliminal techniques in radio and
television programming. Subliminal programming is designed to be
perceived on a subconscious level only. The Commission has held
that
the use of subliminal perception is inconsistent with the
obligations of a licensee and contrary to the public interest
because, whether effective or not, such broadcasts are intended to
be deceptive." (39 Federal Register 3714, January 29, 1974) (Note:
The Federal Register prior to 1995 is not available online.)
Under this regulation, FCC-licensed TV and radio stations are
banned
from knowingly broadcasting programming containing subliminal
messages of any nature. While broadcasters are not expected to
screen ads or programs for subliminal messages, they are expected
to
stop airing them as soon as they become aware of their existence.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has a similar regulation against
the use of subliminal messages on highway billboards in which the
agency contends that viewing a highway billboard from a car
traveling 60 miles per hour is equivalent to being exposed to
subliminal messages on a TV screen.
