I doubt it's illegal. Really, subliminal messaging has been found to be completely ineffective (the famous "buy popcorn" was a hoax from a guy trying to sell subliminals to advertisers, he then took their money and left) and if Fox is actually wasting their time putting stuff like that in; well, they're dumber than I thought. _________________ WAR IS PEACE

I can't make myself be surprised, though, since this is FOX we're talking about. I'm not sure if I want to wonder if it's FOX being stupid or the Republicans making their best efforts for John McCain to win. _________________ "I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions."--Augusten Burroughs

I can tell you that was no accident. Every sound and image is carefully vetted. Fox News is notorious for subliminal crap like this. Many times they have erroneously identified a minor politicitian involved in a scandal as (D)...democrat... when in fact he/she was a republican. Sloppy typo on the news crawl? Me thinks not.

It looked real to me. Hey the subliminal worked too... the whole time I was thinking I sure hope that lousy John McCain doesn't win. _________________ Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world.

'buy popcorn' might be in a different league though, to pictures that appeal to our primal instincts. example;
