What's Your Favorite Example of Subliminal Advertising?

Subliminal advertising has been known about for quite some time now. The power of being able to subconsciously enter images into the view of consumers that trigger responses in their brain that they are not even aware of?

COME ON.

So, I did some searching. There's a lot of good examples out there.

The world famous Virgin logo.

Here's an example;take the world famous Virgin logo.If you turn it slighty to the left so that where the underline and tail of the g form an X,you'll also notice the V forms a slightly hidden S and the i,r and part of the g form a broken capital E,spelling the word SEX.
So you have Sex/Virgin in one word.Very clever Mr.Branson.

Malibu, Dicks for Two

Can you see the guy-parts making up the predominant shape of the logo? Back away, or move closer; distance affects perception a bit. It was easiest to see driving down the road with sun glinting off a logo.

Top half of the logo looks like a penis laying across a belly or balls. In case that weren't enough, the negative space inside the outline makes another smaller penis as well. The logo has varied slightly over the years; some models even have a visible rim/bulge for the head. See chevymalibuforum dot com for more instances of the logo.
