TV Not So Subliminal Advertising

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 11:44 AM

Check out this jaw-dropping scene from this week's episode of the new Hawaii Five-0 on CBS, and see if you can spot the "subliminal advertising." (HINT: It's a 50-second commercial for SUBWAY!!! EAT FRESH!!!)

Consumers use a DVR to fast forward through commercials, and America pays the price with branded content.

Wow, not bad... clever way to say what they really want to say without upsetting health nuts. McDonalds should follow suit and advertise the $10 bag of McDoubles this way... breakfast, lunch and dinner for two days, and they taste great out of the microwave, too!

More than a few people in this town would be doing themselves a favor by going to subway instead of voodoo donuts and taco houses. FAAAAAAAT!

More advertisting for the typical American diet: meat*, white flour, lettuce, and other minimally nutritious foods: a surefire cure for obesity. *As if that land-whale on the show needs more protein and cholesterol.
PS Jared of Subway fame is a sad shill. He's is/was not even allowed to eat other restaurants' food in public.

@4 Im not perfect either..it's called choices. It saddens me when I see obese people take their overweight kids for fast food. Or "foodies" obsess about Foie Gras or bacon.
@geyser, he was a very well paid spokesperson. His choice. Subway is not an ideal choice either, just a little better than most
