Superbowl Subliminal Messages?Follow

My crazy conservative cousin is convinced that the most recent Superbowl was full of subliminal messaging by liberals seeking to brainwash the masses. Exact quote by her:


The only reason I think there might be a grain of truth in this is the producer, who has worked with the Obama crew in the past. Granted, he also did Prince's halftime in the 2007 Superbowl show, and there was nothing subtle about the sexual innuendo there. He's also worked on a ton of other events, like the Emmys and Tonys.

I tried running a Google search for "Superbowl subliminal messages" and the only thing that comes up is Prince's show. I honestly can't find anything to back up what my cousin is saying, and she refuses to explain why the alien or educate comments are about. Anyone else hear about this?

Don't recall tbh, then again I was pretty wasted when watching the game. That being neither here nor there, if you spend your time looking for conspiracy eventually you will start seeing it everywhere, even if it is just mutual coincidence.

Does this even parse in English?

God damn Iberians...

Needs moar coffee. Or whisky. Or both.

I think the article was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but thanks

On dateline last night was a show about the state of our virtual existence. One of the scientists interviewed studied and experimented in virtual experiences. One particular experiment put kids into a virtual underwater experience with whales and what-not (not killer whales). Younger kids (3ish) a short-time later would relate that their experience was real. They misremembered it.

An interesting use for the technology was being tested on soldiers suffering from PTSD. The patient would undergo treatments that put him into a virtual world that was modeled to look and feel like the war zone that he had been in. In the virtual world he would encounter all sorts of stressors - enemies with guns, exploding stuff, etc. His vitals were being monitored as a measure of the stress he was feeling. Over time his stress levels dropped as his subconscious recognized that these virtually dangerous worlds were not dangerous irl. This reduction in stress is supposed to carry over to real life.

Anyway, the lesson is that what we visually absorb into our psyche may not be the reality we think it is.

If you Google Subliminal Obama Monster you get 1,500,000 hits so obviously that proves something.

If you google loch ness monster you only get 1,040,000 results so it proves that the Subliminal Obama Monster is 1.5 times as real as the loch ness monster. or something.

And I saw a discovery show once about how the loch ness monster is totally real.

oh god, tailmon has premium.

I'm complaining about the resolution. I can see pixels.
