I'm sure the guys in today's ad can relate:
Subliminal Matters: alcohol billboard no. 2, gender, transgender, gender equality, feminine, masculine, more binge drinking supplies...
Location: Taylor Square
Ad review: The creator of this ad exhibits the idea that looks can be deceiving in a clearly comical way. Men pretending to women to promote 5 seeds cider is funny. I like this advertisement not just because it's witty but because it raises the masculine vs feminine issue in a light way.
The implication of the ad however is that men are not and cannot be as "sweet" as women. Which also suggests that being "sweet" is
a female/feminine trait. We won't go too far into that discussion but I will point out that males can be just as "sweet" as females. I bet you the proof is in the Valentine's day pudding! Males are just as sweet, maybe it's just a human trait after all.
We don't pay attention to subliminal messages but they enter our lives daily. From perfume advertisements to funny ads, you can find subliminal messaging all around you.

This Week on Subliminal Matters
So I hope you're excited to see what I've been up to while I've been away. I have some fun ads to share but I must say to every single visitor thanks for coming back. SM is about to hit 5,000 visitors and I think that most certainly is a milestone. Thanks for the emails and I even had a few comments while I was away which was pretty cool.
Although I haven't been posting I've most certainly been collecting and I am buzzing with excitement to share, hope you enjoy!
