Anyone else sick of commercials, poker commercials especially?
I can't stand watching commercials these days.. Maybe it's because i'm a little older and i understand the marketing behind it, and how the notion of "sex sells"
But seriously everytime i watch a commercial i can't help pick out the subliminal messages in them. For instance today i saw a commercial for the very first time. I bet it has probably leaked out to the rest of the world now, however i'll post it here for you to look at.
Watch the commercial first before i explain the subliminal message behind it. Just think "sex" when watching it, and try and put the pieces together.. It's an advertisement for pokerstars with a young attractive female pro Vanessa Rousso.
http://www.pokerstars.net/poker/tv/ i dont know if it will show the one with vanessa rousso but just look at the bottom and scroll across, and you will see it.. it's called "Vanessa Bungee 30"
The whole idea is she is taking a bungee leap off a bridge, and this is essentially the same as playing poker. It's about taking risks in life and how poker can be compared to this..
The subliminal part doesn't start until about 15 seconds in when she is leaning over the edge.. She leads out by saying "that's why i love poker, it's where i get my buzz" Notice the perspective you are watching it from? It's directly behind/above the table, which basically engages you more feeling that you are the one at the table... So when we see this table we're seeing her(or you) as the focal point.. So when she says she gets a "buzz" from playing poker it basically means or an orgasm( pleasurable response) don't believe me? why do you think in the next 2 seconds there is a view of a river? The Water represents a woman's vagina, and the poker table represents a mans penis......
They take a keen focus on beauty in between the Table shot and the river shot, to remind you a little more that this is a pleasurable beautiful thing.
and to top it all off! at the very end "with more FREE TO ENTER tournmanet than any other site" represents that your ticket to sex is knocking at your door and it's at pokerstars.
Oh advertising.. It's a beautiful thing. I notice these kind of things everytime i watch a commercial.. And i would say 90% of commercials hold at least 1 subliminal advertisement whether intentional or not, it is there

You may want to consider a longer manifesto about this breakthrough in the future.
All the best.
monteroy, -ev
you two are my favourite faceless posters.
OP..how the hell does river=vagina? A bit of a stretch if you're going off of some 'dive into wet' pun?
SHHHH, don't blow the whistle on poker-cute... I don't want to go back to being average.
Goes back to the power of the river errr vagina in the end.
When I went to Casino Rama this week, there was not a single person walking out with their arms up, but a lot of depressed-looking, sleepy-eyed degenerates with empty wallets! The Fallsview Casino's missing King ads are stupid; forumers Fallsview & 13CARDS would have thrown out the player's buddy for coaching him that the opponent is bluffing. The most accurate poker ads are those of Party Poker, where they show a lot of unhappy losers then they show ONE happy winner at the end; now I have confirmation that 9 out of 10 online players are losers!
seriously though, do women these days even want jewellery anymore?
Sandy's one of my very small sample size of female friends.. I can't imagine wanting that for Christmas, I'm guessing she'll agree.
If your girl DOES want that: I'll offer 2-1 that she's boring as all hell and you should have just spent the money on whores throughout the year instead of a gf at x-mas.
(seriously though, PVR and FF kids, wave of the future...I'm certain a few of you now wish they made them for forums so you could skip my posts.)
You're a bit paranoid but hey it's fine.
You need to look up the word subliminal before you use it in a sentence. There is nothing subliminal about these commercials. They are overtly using sex to sell, like many before them (Coors Light anyone).
In order to be subliminal, you must not be able to detect it with the naked eye. A common way to accomplish this is to insert a frame (say a desert image) into every 10th frame of a commercial for a softdrink. While the eye cannot see it at first, the brain actually picks up on this and can make you feel thirsty.
To quote Ron White,
"DeBeers says, diamonds will leave her speechless. What they really mean is; Diamonds, that will shut her up"
All good advertising is meant to manipulate you.
It does this using pain and pleasure.
Look at the guilt placed into any domestic products advertising;
If you have germs your a dirty lousy mother, but if you use X cleaning brand that youll be good and your kids will love you.
Scare ones are good too;
Germs are evil, bad, look at the bird flu your gonna die!!!!! But if you use our anti-bacterial spray you'll end up living longer then everyone else ensuring your genetic seed materials will be around to repopulate mars!
The scary part is how conditioned you become to this process by the age of 4, if you're exposed to TV advertising an hour a day. An amount that typical/average to North Americian children.
Extrapolate that model to today's current climate where 60% of americans thought that Iraq was involved with 9/11...scary
I'm confused. Now it's pancakes and butter?
I'm pm-ing a mod to have this thread jailed.
Because the reality would be this:
Now I gotta clean the pop off my keyboard and screen.
Shut up and take the syrup
My bad, Fatty
Then put your pants back on
HOw the hell do you get sex out of that .. And how the hell did you come up with the river being a womans virgina and the poker table a mans dick penis whatever... Man you watch to much tv or not enough. or you really are high on yourself as a male poker player... I dont know which one it is but man whatever kinda drugs your on can I have some ... wow... and what Kristy said about the pancakes.. holy moly... man... I have never lol... seen a post like this in a long time..
Maybe they will help the pain in my neck.. lol
Or if you like em you can watch over and over and over...:D
Not for the same reasons though.
I liked the old Party commercials that depict poker as a fun easy activity.
Not as a game of skill.
Not as something to get better/good at.
Why?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
That's a damn good point. Those commericals are +EV
But if it's commercials that I have to endure through over and over when watching a hockey or football game then it's just bad. Even if it's the funny ones that I like, then I get sick of seeing them. If only they didn't have to show the same commercial in a period or quarter but mix it up, it would be easier, but not happening anytime soon.
