"O-kay!"

Check out this freaking awesome Japanese propaganda cartoon from 1934. It's got an evil Mickey Mouse riding a bat that shoots bullets out of its mouth.

Subliminable

An interesting post on Althouse about a possibly intentional, racist, subliminal message in the "3 A.M." ad got me thinking a bit about subliminal messages in other contexts.





A short subliminal roundup:

* Other campaign ads.


*Info on a subliminal message controversy surrounding Disney movies (see Snopes.com for more on this).


*A number of subliminal (and not-so-subliminal) images.


*A piece on research from New Scientist.


*An article from the BBC.


* A skeptical view.


Clearly, further research is needed.
