Subliminal McDonald's ad on Food Network

A single frame out of the show Iron Chef America was replaced with a still advertising frame of the sponsor of the show for this night; McDonald's. If it was it enough that McDonald's had several commercials during this show and also put their logo on the judges scores when they came up (as you will see in the video) they had to take it as far as inject subliminal marketing into the show itself. This video show the real time view of it twice as well as the view when my DVR is set to play it back in 1/15 speed slow motion. And we all thought we were safe from advertising on TV with the invention of the DVR. I actually rewound this 4 times with my wife and she didn't catch it till the 4th time. That makes you wonder how much you have been marketed to without knowing it'; doesn't it? I am all for marketing and advertising it if is deliberate and you can make an assessment of the product afterwards but don't go this low McDonald's. It just makes you look worse than you already are after movies like Super Size Me, etc.

@AlmightyGameGuy I never said that it was subliminal either... Take it easy please.

@aFedosov Ok, so if it was meant to be subliminal, what is so bad about, purposely or accidently. It’s not like there was a hidden triangle in the logo and nothing could possibly corrupt the minds of millions because of it. BOO, McDonalds it soooooo subliminal. NOT!

@AlmightyGameGuy If it were, there's no way that the mistake would have lasted a quarter of a second... Theres no way someone can realize that they did that, and then take it off a quarter second later in the channel station network

Its the fucking Illimunati...

[AlmightyGameGuy]

Wait, so what is so bad about this. There was nothing hidden in the message but a logo. It was just a error/ glitch.

@zackhanscom Subliminal means sensory stimuli below an individuals threshold for conscious perception. If you show something for 4 seconds, it is not subliminal. This IS subliminal.
