Research Topic

My research topic is subliminal advertising and wether it exists or not. I have always been very interested in the advertising industry and the different methods they have for getting their products out there. Subliminal advertising is something hidden from "normal society" but never proven, almost like an urban legend. Well, I plan on cracking this one open and seeing just how effective hidden advertising can be, or how ineffective. The way I perceived subliminal advertising was that its a theory that paranoid movie go-ers have for why they crave the things they crave. Countless times I have walked out of a movie with Burger King written all over it or Marlboro in everyones faces, only to see kids and adults alike go from movie to burger/smoke. These images on the screen could be saying more than words can illustrate, therefore, I chose my topic as such.
