today i had an, whats that word, uhm. epiphany! again!
not like the other one which was about peer pressure.
this one's about SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING!
hah!
now i bet alot of you don't even know what subliminal messaging even is!
according to wikipedia;
" A subliminal message is a signal or message embredded in another medium, designed to pass below the normal limits of the human mind's perception. These messages are unrecognizable by the conscious mind, but in certain situations can affect the subconscious mind and can negatively or positively influence subsequent later thoughts, behaviours, actions, attitudes, belief systems and value systems. "
still don't get it? IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING SUBTLE.
it's like someone coming up to you and being all "sigh, i wish i had enough money to buy the latest edition of teen vogue."
and you, thinking you're being all generous, will be like "oh here, have some money. go buy it, you can pay me back later." *big smile*
you THINK you've done a good deed, but all you are, is naive.
the person tricked you! hahaha. BY SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING!
he/she subtly hinted that if she had this, she could buy this, so you gave her that!
sometimes people do that unconsciously, but thats rarely.
even i do it sometimes!
"mummy, you know just now i saw the most gorgeous pair of converse shoes ever? they were so cute! they were like, high-topped and everything! black and pink!"
and in the end. i end up walking out of the mall with a bag that says "welcome to the CONVERSE CENTURY."
see? subliminal messaging WORKS.
heres another example. a few says ago, i was walking around junction 8, and they were selling really cute pouches. but you know what the sign said?
"SANITARY PAD POUCHES! SALE! ONLY TEN DOLLARS!"
this is NOT subliminal messaging. this is just a MESSAGE.
and i was repulsed. WHY WOULD I GO UP AND BE LIKE "HI, I'D LIKE TO BUY THAT PAD POUCH OVER THERE" TOA COMPLETE STRANGER?
hahahah.
they should have been like
"POUCHES FOR ALL YOUR WOMANLY NEEDS! SALE! ONLY TEN DOLLARS!"
i mean, sure it's more words, but still. IT DOESN'T SAY PAD.
hahahaha.
anyways, my point is. SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING WORKS. yes. it does. it tells us what we want to hear, and makes us believe things we may not have believed before. like,
"if i used this perfume i'd be surrounded by guys like that girl in the ad."
"if i use this computer i will reallyhave miny cartoon notes floating around me when i listen to music like the guy in the ad."
"if i eat cadbury chocolate my car will really turn into chocolate and i'd start singing "wouldn't it be nice if the world was cadbury" like in the ad."
"if i buy this pad there will really be a paddy angel watching me in my sleep and i'll really dream of green meadows like the girl in the ad"
"if i buy this bra then i will really be sexy as hell like the girl in the ad."
SEE?!
SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING!
i swear, it works.
SO NEXT TIME YOU LOOK AT AN AD, BE WARNED.
BECAUSE PEOPLE LIE. don't believe everything you see.
except this blog. because i'm telling you the truth.
