Spam News
by Ivy on September 11, 2006

Well, although subliminal messaging was never proven very successful, the new breed of spammers resorted to using this old trick. Panda Antivurus company has recently caught one spam e-mail containing the subliminal message:
Subliminal advertising techniques have been used for a long time and are based on composing images that users perceive, even though they are not aware of it. In the case of this email message, the word Buy appears on screen for a maximum of 40 milliseconds, and in some cases, for only 10 milliseconds. By doing this, although the recipient is not consciously aware of the Buy message, the subconscious levels of perception receive it and store it, influencing the recipient.
Watch out for these new spams, and remember that subliminal messaging is illegal almost everywhere in the world. So, if you live in a country where spam is not yet banned by legislation, you can hopefully have your spammer visit a prison or pay a high fine for using subliminal messages.

All is fair in love and war, someone said. It looks like spammers are resorting to even dirtier tricks every day.

Great blog. I really liked it. I have also created a lens in same niche. This is my first time, hope u guys like it. Here’s a brief intro: Since the 1970s, the U.S Government had banned the use of subliminal messages on TV and radio due to the worry of manipulation of the human race. It has been proven in a particular case study that subliminal messages had increased sales of popcorn by almost 60% when used in the cinema. This however has not stopped further research into subliminal messaging and subliminal cds. It is a well known fact that the human brain is an extremely powerful tool, able to multi-task many activities and to perform tasks with the ease and skill of a machine if it has been properly trained. http://www.squidoo.com/subliminal-cds/
