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!

Ad Art in Sydney: Maybe It's Maybelline!!

Quote: "You are so beautiful, to me, can't you see..."


Subliminal Matters: the right tools + beautiful colour, can be used to highlight the strengths on anyone's face.


Location: Sydney CBD


Ad Review: What a great way to advertise your product! These Maybelline ads have been popping up around Sydney and I love them. I find them captivating and beautiful. I love colour so I'm seriously engrossed by the kaleidoscope in the campaign. I really find each ad to be a piece of art. Ad art! I first saw the red ad on my walk through the city and I couldn't get over how cool it was, the make up artist's work is so attractive. The cool ratings went through the roof when I kept finding different ones littered throughout the city. Great campaign: Maybe it is Maybelline :)

Joe Pesci Snickers Commercial

Quote
Henry Hill: You're a pistol, you're really funny. You're really funny.
Tommy DeVito: What do you mean I'm funny?
Henry Hill: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy. [laughs]
Tommy DeVito: What do mean, you mean the way I talk? What?
Henry Hill: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything.
Tommy DeVito: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it?

Subliminal Matters: Joe Pesci depicts grumpy like nobody else can 
Location: TV Commercial
Ad Review: Well after the day I've been had, I really wanted to put an ad up that would reflect my mood due to lack of sleep. Joe Pesci is truly a good fella to have for this task. I love this snickers ad, in fact I think I might like it just a tad more than the Betty White commercialWooooo, Supermodels!! What do you model, gloves?! #lol

The Forgotten - Human Trafficking


EVERY YEAR OVER 1,000 WOMEN AND CHILDREN
ARE VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING BECAUSE
THEY BELIEVED IN FALSE PROMISES
Quote"Every year over 1,000 women and children are victims of human trafficking because they believed in false promises"
                   - Vodacom MFW

Subliminal Matters: the victims of human trafficking are often too young to defend against their predators.

Location: Maputo, Mozambique


Ad Review: Human trafficking is definitely an issue that often falls under the public radar, BUT, it is a very present issue being felt around the world. 


Recently, I've watched two movies, "I Am Slave" and "Whistleblower", and they've both highlighted the dark realities of this extremely detrimental issue. The first movie depicts a nasty cultural demand for "house help" that directly contributes to human trafficking and the second movie will make you cringe at the implication of UN involvement in human trafficking.  


If you are doubting that this could be happening right under you nose the answer is a google search away. Type in human trafficking cases in your state and see what comes up. Better yet, support those orgs and news agents in your area that are paying attention to the issue.

WHAT SEEMS LIKE A GREAT IDEA TODAY,
STICKS WITH YOU FOR 50 YEARS
Quote: "Marriage is like a hot bath. Once you get used to it, it's not so hot"
Subliminal Matters: OYE! the repercussions of the young and the restless; I'd agree, somethings in life you really might not to be stuck to like glue 
Location: Internet
Ad Review: Simply funny. These two words best describe this ad. I'd say it's well and truly a classic for the funny ad section. It's totally the funniest ad about sex out there. Don't forget to look up in the ad! Hilarious from so many angles.
