** Check out this SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE in the new MIKE HUCKABEE campaign ad!! **

[bruce uppercut]

I found this to be quite funny, blatant, yet most-likely effective advertising on behalf of Mike Huckabee and his Christian fanbase. (Obviously, he'stalking about Christ - but I love the way the symbolism put forth with the panning-camera and floating cross in the background.) This type of stuff reallyfascinates me!

What do you guys think?

It's just an effect - nothing else.

It's the juxtaposition of the shelves in the background - with the lights casting a glow of the cross.

My field is advertising - so things likethis truly fascinate me. Political campaign strategists are the cream-of-the crop when it comes to delivering the message.

Lol, I normally wouldn't notice that but it is fascinating how little things like this can convey bigger messages.

If you really want to get into it...it's also the shadowy figure with the evil red "eyes" (Islam) encrouching on the cross(Christianity)

There's only one Al in life:

Huckabee has a very strong advertising team.

I would love to study advertising, because I think it's really interesting, but I couldn't make a career out of it. I would feel too evil.

 

[nolandw]

these aren't actually that effective.

 

[mistahphaze]

lol hey i study graphicdesign/advertising too lol.. but not on the motion picture front!! lol cool!!
but yeah the glowing "cross" is a great example of visual hierarchy with everything else around it "dark and blurred"


pretty slick!

Ah! Nice find, Dirtylicious! Now that's definitely delving into the subconscious of the Bible-carryingReligious warrior.

I do feel pretty wicked sometimes.

I'm actually going to be going towards the sales end of it though. More money - more power -more... EVIL! Mwahaha!

I prefer print-ads, but if you ever entered the deep, dark realms of Political advertising - you'd be earning a pretty penny.

 

[bwoodfolkgd74]

do you know of any other ads with the same premise(if thats the word im looking for) that was used in this one?

 

[dirtylicious]

btw. I hope this guy does NOT win the primary.
terrible candidate...just terrible.

Same here. If he wins - he'd be an easy kill for the Democrats.
