I've just been to see "500 Days of Summer" today (it's awful). Just before the certificate for the film, I noticed a subliminal flash which seemed to be a diamond shape with two words inside which I think were "hate piracy". I thought sublilminal advertising was illegal. If true, it seems they've given up trying to convince us on the piracy issue and gone straight to mind control. Has anyone else seen this or has my paranoia finally gotten out of hand?

If you actually SAW it, it's not subliminal. I think.

I can't stand Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow character. I must have been exposed to the subliminal ad...

"If you actually SAW it, it's not subliminal. I think."

So we never get to complain about this sort of thing?

Worse: I see online articles now, where random words will be highlighted as if for linking to expanding topics --

"The Prime Minister excoriated the taliban today in an effort to..."

-- and you click on it, and it turns out to be nothing to do with the link, but it's a friggin' advertisement!

This is base deceit and enraging and wrong, imho. Why not run whole articles and link them to ads then?

Headline link: BOY MASSACRES ENTIRE FAMILY
Click on it: "... With the mm-mm buttery taste of Momma Fry's Blueberry Scones!"
