Growing up, my mom had the book “Subliminal Seduction”. I poured over that book far more hours than i would like to admit. The main gist was that behind the scenes but in plain view, advertisers use subtle messages projected through the TV and print ads, to manipulate our beliefs and habits.

Last night’s 60 Minutes piece on addiction was a glaring example of a subliminal (and inaccurate) message being put forth: Marijuana is addictive.
