11/21 http://members.shaw.ca/subliminally/Kanon.html \_ amazing! a subliminal dick! incredible! thanks for the great link! i'll email all my friends and coworkers emediately-- or perhaps just include it in my next mass fowarard of jokes from Usenet. \_ that's "subliminable" \_ I thought that was a left hand. \_ http://members.shaw.ca/subliminally/SubliminalGirl.html was actually kind of funny. \_ The title is "Laid by the best" -- I think that's supraliminal. \_ You're missing it. However, the little mermaid poster isn't "subliminal." It was a pissed off animator giving a little "fuck you" to Disney Corp. \_ Bullshit. Like anyone in such a small field would risk their entire livelihood on some stunt aimed at one of the biggest anime houses on the planet. \_ The animator says it was just a coincidence, but Disney removed the image in a few places because it's definitely phallic: http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/mermaid.htm#add \_ I was wondering if that might not be the case. \_ Wasn't there a scene in a Disney Cartoon movie where the clouds appeared to look like "SEX"? \_ Yes. It's in the Lion King, at some point after Simba runs away he flops down into the dust and it says SEX. \_ uhm, a picture with a perfume bottle(?), a knife, and a penis. ok, that's nice. we needed this because...? \_ yes. \_ the rest of the site presents additional pictures of subliminal ads ... a lot where the author highlights the word "sex" - sometimes on items that doesn't even seem western or in the english language. He/she might be overboard on some of these ... but what's even more funny is the micro-sized font text that is displayed as you move between pictures: Subliminal messages in advertising. whether or not you believe in subliminal techniques in advertising you have to admit that the following examples of actual subliminal messages that I've scanned from advertisements are indeed subliminal! People the world over are ludicrous enough to believe not only that subliminal messages have no effect but that subliminal messages don't even exist! Go through these subliminal examples and if you still believe that they're not there, you're blind. Devious!! -!OP [formatd] |

| www.snopes.com/disney/films/mermaid.htm#add Click here Claim: One of the castle spires on the cover of Disney's The Little Mermaid home video was deliberately drawn as a phallus by a disgruntled artist. Origins: One of the castle spires in the My, that's a big . Rumors started circulating shortly after the release of the videocassette edition of The Little Mermaid that the phallic object had been deliberately drawn as a last act of defiance by a disgruntled Disney artist who was miffed at being notified that he would be laid off at the conclusion of the project. The plain truth is that the resemblance between the castle spire and a penis was purely accidental, and it was drawn by an artist who was neither disgruntled nor about to be dismissed. The theatrical posters were done before the original release of the film, but the video cover art was not created until a few months before the home video version hit the market. Rushed to complete the video artwork (featuring towers that were rather phallic to begin with), the artist hurried through the background detail (at "about four in the morning") and inadvertently drew one spire that bore a rather close resemblance to a penis. The artist himself didn't notice the resemblance until a member of his youth church group heard about the controversy on talk radio and called him at his studio with the news. The later laserdisc release of the film was issued with a cover containing an altered version of the infamous spire. Contrary to common belief, the phallic-like spire did not make its first appearance with the cover to the home video version. The same background drawing of the castle, with the same spires, appeared in promotional material and posters that accompanied the film's original theatrical release. The video cover does differ slightly from the original version, but the castle shown in the background is the same in both versions. Shortly after Entertainment Weekly ran a story about the offending artwork in mid-1990, the rumor became widespread when Michelle Couch of Mesa, Arizona, complained to Disney and a Phoenix supermarket chain (Bashas') about the phallus on the cover of The Little Mermaid. Bashas' pulled the videos from their shelves (but returned them less than 24 hours later), and the story of the "penis" cover was soon widely disseminated by the media. |
