I was informed of the new lynx's advert so watched it on you tube, interesting!! If you pause the clip at 0:49secs and look in the bottom left hand corner you will see 22:45h, the eleventh hour! This is relevant to ‘the agenda’ along with many other signs and symbols in this advert campaign. As well as this the actual advert is portraying fallen angels which at the beginning seem benevolent until they shatter their halo's (the lynx's affect!) to become perverse and infected for the man and they look like they will eat him alive! Just an observation I wanted to share and wondered if anyone else had noticed the time blatantly written on the wall.
The new lynx advert.

Hello Ataraxia!
I am generally synical of references such as these having any deeper meaning or even they do, not one that is useful to focus energy on. I think you would be surprised just how extensive the investment by media companies and multinationals in scientific psychology research to influence consumer purchasing behaviour is. If it is of interest to you, Adam Curtis's documentary 'century of the self' is a good starting point.http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=6735.0
As far as Lynx goes, I would posit that this is just an example cleverly embedded viral marketing tools that - in this instance - are targeting youth who have been bombarded with buffy the vampire slayer-ad nauseum TV shows, books and movies that I'm guessing refer to a 11th hour theme. - As to the rest of it, well, sex sells.
Reminds me of websites that focus on finding hidden illuminati symbols in pop videos which really do nothing other than provoke fear of hidden agendas - not saying that there aren't - but don't really add anything useful to investigative research on the negative effects that today's media have on society in general.
Anyway this reply to your post isn't probably what you expected (and is just my assessment) but would you consider for a moment that you are unwittingly being used to promote one of the worlds largest multinational corporations: Unilever's latest pointless toxic products?
Welcome to the forum :)
Hi,
I wasn't expecting an assessment; it was an observation that I didn't take too seriously as the media groups do it all the time. I would say it was a subliminal message which generally wouldn't be noticed but because I have read and researched many happenings as well as signs and symbols I did. I would agree it is scare-mongering but I saw it objectively and I understand the mind control tools that influence people in society, especially the children. The games that are played by children and adults such as call of duty do impact on their judgement and behaviour just as the seedy music videos of the likes of lady gaga do. The PTB do perpetrate 'themes' that's why its subliminal and there for the watcher to take it in unknowingly, whether it has any greater influence I don't know however I do think that it’s all part of the whole breakdown of society. I don't understand how you can say I have been used to promote the product, I haven't done that at all, totally absurd.
Thanks for the link :)

Great to hear your reply Ataraxia, you make some spot-on observations.
By assessment I meant interpretation of the lynx ad.
That wasn't personal, just an open question to think about. I don't know if it is subliminal, I think it could be intentional. I could just imagine a team of marketing agents sitting around and saying, OK so here's what we'll try to get this advert out virally. We'll put a date on a wall in the video, use some of our social networking persona's to spread the idea that the message is subliminal and see if the target market will pass the video around between them for some free advertising. Having said that I don't work in advertising but can imagine that there are agencies that operate at this kind of level.
Look forward to reading your introduction in the Newbies section telling us more about yourself and how you arrived here. Sounds like you're in the right place. :)
Welcome, Sott.net is a great place to search for articles of what's happening on the BBM.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who sees something a little wrong with the Lynx adverts...
Maybe it's better to read too much into things than never to question it at all. I haven't had a television for a while, and when I go to people's houses, I find the adverts so abrasive I can't watch them. Most people are so bombarded with them that they never think bout what they are seeing; it is normal and no one takes any notice (consciously) I never noticed how offensive most edvertising is until removing it from my life (to what extent I can - I don't deny that i am still, inevitably, bombarded in other ways)

Hello,
I noticed same about the Linx ad. It is everywhere. I'm not sure how to interpret a lot of it. I find it quite insightful to observe pop culture (this includes ads) for an idea of the current programing and propaganda.
For thrills though - how's this for an ad:

Yikes. Someones having a laugh somewhere, and that's an optimistic view.
Any comments?

Yes, I just had another look - there is the triangle at the end.
I still don't know how to process that ad, it got me boggled, I just break it down in pieces, but I cannot process the lot at all.
The music is "ritual-esk" (if that's a word)
The people are like zombies. Tranced out
It's dark and dirty looking
They are a "network of minds"?
There is couple, just passed the middle who look like they are naked in possibly a dark bedroom
I just don't understand who would decide to create a campaign with such obvious - what would you call it - satanic? Dark? Possession-like? Overtones.
It's very strange.
I've noticed too, in music videos lately there is a lot of zombie themes, or, the singer is acting zombie-like. The only thing that crossed my mind is that we are being conditioned to accept a spiritual takeover of our bodies. To abandon ourselves.

Things and pictures like this are very much in fashion in today's advertising, how else will the masses react in this dumbed down society...so expect a lot more of this silly nonsense. Thank the Cs that there are segments of the worlds population that have been influenced by FOTCM and realize the "Lessons learned" and can see thru all these con-jobs that are taking place today... Well welcome to the forum, great to have you on board

In what way would paying attention to pop culture, and ads on top of that, be something to invest time in? Could it be that directing your attention to analyzing pop culture programming takes our attention away from the root of the problem which is psychopathic leaders in power.
Specifically,
[quote author=Gonzo] I honestly don't know what to think about the blatantly obvious symbolism. It reminds me of the movie, Tommy by the band, The Who. It was so rich with Christian symbols that it went beyond the necessary amount the story line required. Symbols for the sake of symbols. My guess at the time was they just thought they were cool and provocative.
It also makes me think of a few Beatles albums were we spent hours going through the images on the album cover looking for clues to some mystery we felt was awaiting our discovery.
A lot of time and energy went into the process and in the end, it amounted to nothing beneficial I could discern, aside from the lesson about wasting time and energy.
All of this brings me to realize how much energy went into discussing the symbols at the Denver airport and whether any benefit came for it. Was it just another distraction or did it help us build tools for discernment?
I will have to meditate on that question for a while.

Might want to have a look at this thread: http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=17478.0
edit: spelling
I think it's massively important to pay attention to the smaller details and clues that are all around us. It may be nonsense, but it is indicative of important trends in society. Just look at all the adverts that are aired during prime time - it's all consumer products, processed foods, electronic gadgets - and cash for gold companies and high interest loans. What does that tell you about the majority of society now?
A couple of weeks ago, I went to a mall *shudder* and there was a television screen hung from the ceiling half way down an escalator. At the time, I found this amusingly pathetic - people don't know what to do with themselves without a screen to stare at. Actually, when I think about it, it's sad and sinister. The reason why people are being depicted as zombie-like is because they ARE zombie like. Next time you're on a bus, count how many people are tapping away on a mobile phone or listening to an ipod. In my town, a lot of the buses have huge ads pasted down the sides over the windows - hey, who looks out of a window anyway, right?!
Meanwhile, people in China working for the companies that make ipods and mobile phones and televisions are commiting suicide because their working conditions are so terrible. It's enough to make me want to cry. Some factories have installed "anti-suicide" netting to catch people when they jump, this is their solution isnstead of allowing people to develop enough of a sense of self-worth to not want to die.
This is why we need to pay attention - a stupid banal advert for a stupid banal always has more sinister implications for ourselves and everybody involved in making it.
We may choose not to buy into pop culture trends, but it won't just go away if we all ignore it...

Actually, if everyone ignored it, it would go away. The problem is that everyone won't - the vast majority of people will choose sleep over awakening every day of the week because sleep is 'comfortable'. It sounds like you are glimpsing part of the horror of the situation - as painful as that is, it is also good because in seeing it you have an opportunity to change your own life and thinking. We can't change others, we can only change ourselves, and, in that, perhaps provide an example that might give others a reason to consider another way of being.

That had occurred to me, even as I was writing that comment. Of course, you are right. However, the kind of society we live in wouldn't allow us to entirely ignore advertising. New and ingenious ways would be thought of to force us to pay attention ("Look at me! Look at me! Buy me!!")
