[dilemma] name = SubliminalAdvertising guiname = Subliminal Advertising description = Subliminal advertising is a series of techniques where adverts appeal to the subconscious mind, often used in TV adverts where quick images are flashed very briefly onscreen, unknown to the viewer but having a subconscious effect. Modern techniques also work with radio adverts. There have been calls to clarify the legal position of such methods. [influences] 0 = _default_,0.5+(0*x) 1 = _random_,0,0.5 [option0] Name = Ban subliminal techniques Description = As though we don't have enough adverts in our life already, companies are now using underhand techniques to play with the minds of our citizens! This is outrageous, and a gross infringement of peoples human rights. Not to mention the fact that this will enable advertisers to get people to purchase products they may not be able to afford.

Is using a beautiful woman in a car advert subliminal? It's a legal minefield, and we are best off not getting the state involved. Subliminal adverts should be given the go ahead, nobody is really being hurt, so why legislate?
