If you have been surfing youtube lately you must of noticed some of the Youtube subliminal messages.

These are videos people have made at home highlighting the subliminal suggestions which have been used in a movie, or a tv show, a song, advert, you name it. If you search for "subliminal messages" on youtube then you will get back thousands of videos like this.

Subliminal messages are all around us, but now people ar sharing them when they find them with help from the viral power of youtube.

Subliminals are only very slight suggestions which go into your mind un-noticed. i.e. they don't alarm your logical thinking function like an overt suggestion would – or you may find yourself arguing / fighting against it. Subliminal messages go into your mind without resistance and slowly start to change your physical behavior.

Due to their power to influence us subliminal messages are being used by everyone – from McDonalds to politicians, and their continued use only ads more evidence to their power.

A really famous popular example is when McDonalds were busted for using subliminal advertising on the food network. During the Iron Chef program a flash of the McDonalds logo is seen for just 1/10th of a second.

Through youtube this subliminal advert received major attention worldwide.

McDonalds denied it all straight away and said it was the food network's doing. But obviously the food network in turn denied everything too.

We all have regular access to the internet and anyone can make a video and put it on youtube or google video. if we do this we can increase the awareness of the manipulation which is going on - this is actually illegal in the US, the UK but advertisers still try to sneak them in. Only when we make a massive stand against this practice will the advertisers get a bad reputation and take note.
