A huge protip is to watch very little (if at all possible absolutely no) television at all. Pundits are nothing more than schemers who are just culling ratings from the susceptible population. Even after all of the subliminal advertising and other things that television technology can throw at you that you can't detect because it is being shown at a level below the threshold of consciousness; television, after all, is complete shit.

The US news stations are too cheap to investigate out any stories, so they just sit around and yap about what comes in on their computers. CNN tried once, but said "fuck it, put Nancy Grace yapping all day long, people love that shit."

I have not switched my television on since the start of december

Yes I do. Studies were done on subliminal advertising and messages since the inception of the television medium. Cooperations exploit the subconscious mind to get people to buy their products. Such marketing practices are illegal in some countries, however many get away with this since it's difficult to prove in court that a subliminal message or image was put there.

You're grouping subliminal messages with the loch ness monster and the bermuda triangle? I don't know about you, but if someone told me that a weird picture was hidden on a can of Coke I'd take that as being more creditable than a monster swimming in a lake or mysterious disappearances of airplane pilots over a certain part of the Atlantic ocean.

people see shit that isn't there, same bullshit. and even if you hide an image in an image, people don't respond to it. The use of the word "subliminal" isn't even applicable in its actual meaning in the use of sensory/perceptual branch of cognitive science or psychology. It was a pop culture urban legend thing. It's also like the 1980s heavy metal backwards messages in the songs bullshit that were supposed to take over your mind.

People respond differently to many things. I'm sure there are people out there that possess the ability to not have their subconscious mind affected by images or text. I wouldn't deny there are people out there who can take illicit drugs like cocaine or heroin and not become future abusers of said drugs. The idea that advertisers being interested in subliminal perception is not a newly discovered physiological phenomenon. Historical scholars such as Plato and Aristotle have alluded to a subconscious phenomenon. And Aristotle first noted the relationship between dreams and the unconscious mind.

pseudoscience, nonsense, not even Freud would agree anymore

Wrong again, not the same person. If you have evidence, present it. Otherwise STFU 'cause any idiot can google it and find reliable studies. Troll. You wanna try and pretend you know some science? You wanna name drop and pretend you have some understanding of neuropsychology, sense and perception, and psychology? Here's a line in the sand. What'cha got?

It's funny how you can type so much yet say nothing of substance.

God you're an asshole. Is that some kind of troll? Jumping into a thread, saying something shitty, not contributing, then just going about your miserable way. I wonder if anyone's tried to classify trolls yet.
It was only there to see if people "samefag'd" their posting. And if you used the sage function your ID would show up as "Heaven". Also, if I remember correctly, the ID wouldn't follow you from thread to thread and board to board.
