Do You Believe Your Own Eyes?
Look at the picture on the left. How many colums has it got? Look again! Take a look at the wheel, If you focus on the yellow dots you will see that the wheel is turning clockwise. However, if you focus on the red dots you will see it is going anti-clockwise, how can this be?
Does this look like a very large coke bottle? Actually it's as 'flat' as the rest of the pavement. This has been crayoned onto the pavement by a street artist. 
Looking up or looking down?
See your Blind Spot! This can be unsettling as it shows how bad your eyes are. Hold your hand over your left eye and focus on the cross. You will then see your blind spot, which isn't usually at the furthest point where you would expect!

Welcome to The Age of Subliminal Advertising
Subliminal advertising has been used against the public for some time no Subliminal communication is strictly related to the issue of mind control. In a society that proclaims freedom of thought and speech the only alternative to censorship is mass indoctrination instilling “politically correct” thoughts and opinions will ensure no backslashes from free speech. Now, all this has to be done in a covert way in order to preserve the face-values of a democratic society. This issue is so hot that it has immediately captured the interest of advertising agencies and political propagandists.
The results are quite astonishing: what is commonly considered immoral gets subliminally embedded in a final products that is bought at face value for what it in fact rejects at its core. Clear examples of this are the many x-rated and four-letter-words that populate the subliminal side of almost every ad to be found in middle-class magazines.
FACT We only see less than 10% of the physical world around us. We also see this image upside down, our brain turns it the 'right way around' or 'edit's the information to fit in with our way of thinking'.
Dragon Illusion
The example of the dinosaur below is an excellent example. Watch the video, its 40 seconds long and you will see how powerful this illusion is. You Must see it to believe it!. This shows how our brain edits the information according to our expectations.
Watch the video (click here)You can download a copy of the actual dragon and try this illusion for yourself. Once you have printed the dragon out (a colour printer is best since this is a colour image) then you can cut out the dragon, fold and stick it, and you will be able to see this fantastic illusion yourself.

Uses Of Subliminal Advertising
The obvious use of subliminals is that of companies who use subliminal messages to sell there product, and implant a message in the mind. It is also used in more sinister ways by governments. Have a look at an example below from the 2000 US Elections. Can you see the demon image behing the two speakers?
Have a look at the advert below to see if you can see the subliminal yourself before reading the explanation.
Could you see it? Have a look at the woman on the left who his holding tight to, and pulling on her skirt. There is also another woman there with her back facing us and her head between the womans legs. If you can't see it yet look at the woman on the left, now look at the gap in her skirt at the bottom, here is the subliminal womans bottom and the rest (hair, waiste, body, arm and action) should be clear! Although consciously most people would not see this, sub consciously most would, and it is true, Sex Sells!
All the lines above are straight verticle lines, there is no 'thicker and thinner' section. Try a ruler or sheet of paper against your screen to see.
Have a look at the example above. Which line is longest, a or c? You would certainly say a! They are actually both the same length! Try a ruler!
The aim of this page is not only to provide a bit of fun and interesting pics, but also to show that there is much more to life than meets the eye. We can easily be influenced subliminally or otherwise
Have a look at the pic above. It is a still image, however, if you look at the dot and move your head closer and further from the screen, you see the surrounding circles alternating. This is another example of a 'trick of the eye'.
Have a look at the picture on the right. Look at the checks marked A and B. Both are totally different colours and shades you would say? Both A and B are exactly the same colour. Cover up the other squares to see! Similarly, the line in the box on the right seems to change but the colour and shade is the same throughout!
Left - A similar illusion to the Roman Column above, how many wickets, 2 or 3? Left, stare at the moving circles centre for about a minute and a half and then look at the palm of your hand.
Hollow Face Illusion 44secs
OK This ones quite well known but its amazing! Stare at the picture for about a minute, focusing on the four dots. Then look away and stare at a wall or a plain surface. You will see a round light forming, when you do blink repeatedly and what do you see? Good eh?

Subliminal Advertising FACT
The subconscious mind can recognise a quick flash where the conscious wouldn't stand a chance! Although you didn't recognise seeing anything last time you watched the adverts you would have really seen a lot more! The below advert (bottom left) is obvious, however with a much faster flash you would not see it but your brain would register it! This tecnique is, and has been used often. (left) Diesel Advert with a hint of sexy subliminal.
Above is a department store ad for bras. You can't miss that both women are looking at something different. What is the woman on the left looking at?
The product, of course, but also the body it's on. How can you be sure? We'll get to that. But first, the woman on the right. She is looking away, outside the picture frame. She's also touching her hair, perhaps preening--normally a sign (in body language) of getting/giving attention.
Now look at the close up. You see that the woman on the left is not only looking but also pressing against the other woman. you can see the indentation where the bras touch. That shows there's pressure-- enough pressure that BOTH women have to know that touch is happening.But one woman is looking off to the right of the page. If you could see the entire page you would see she is 'looking at' a different woman in another picture across from her. That woman is looking down, at nothing, as if shy. Of course, the various editors who posed and arranged this collection of ad photos were the ones who 'made' this woman look at the woman across the page.
Very little happens by accident in advertising.
Have a look at the pic above. Can you see the word sex (bottom right). Can you also see the finger on the vagina.
Alien Autopsy Video - You decide! (I ain't got a clue)
An 'outdoor loo with a view'. I'm not sure what the designers had in mind with this one! I wonder how many people who use this loo are looking around anxiously while pee-ing or poo-ing? I've also read these loo's are popular with couples looking for safe exitement! Ha!
