In critique of: Subliminal advertising

My question is, why should this surprise anyone? Apparently both the Food Network and McDonald’s are claiming that this one-frame advertisement placed in the Iron Chef America episode was an accident, but with McDonald’s already poised as a prominent sponsor for the show, who believes that?

I haven’t had television in my house for almost 3 years and I don’t miss it. After this, I miss it less than ever — as if those Pizza Hut commercials with the gooey, melted strings of cheese weren’t enough?

    We don’t miss tv, either, after giving it up for 18 mo. or so.

    Does subliminal advertising even work? Were they trying to test it? Really, it’s just bizarre more than anythign else.
