The sick secret of Gatorade... Is IT in you?

[The Omega Man]

This is truly awful and really gives you insight into the mentallity of these bastards and what they think of us. Check this out and I'm convinced you will never look at Gatorade the same way again!<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://basketbawful.blogspot.com/2006/03/gatorade-conspiracy.html">Gatorade's Secret</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>Also, I here is an excellent 6 part video presentation on Occult Symbology in popular culture:<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://fpiarticle.blogspot.com/2006/04/subversive-use-of-sacred-symbolism-in.html">Subversive Symbology</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

i had to click on this<br><br>(because my kids' dad had to start drinking Gatorade...due to his working hard outdoors in the heat. water just could not keep him going. he'd come home literally sick. his boss drinks lots of G, and doesn't get sick, so J tried it, and it works like a charm.)<br><br>so, i clicked...thinking there was something i should know that i didn't.<br><br>i absolutely laughed 'til the tears rolled down my cheeks!<br><br>and laughed some more when i read the comments!<br><br>and i have a suspicion i'm gonna be laughing at what's to come in this thread, too... <p></p><i></i>

Many, many products' packages are created either intentionally or subliminally to reflect something else entirely. Sometimes it's happenstance, sometimes it's absolutely deliberate. I've read much over the years about roll on deodorants, soda bottles and cans etc and, having met some of the people in this world, I really don't think it was quite as sinister as some would like to believe. In fact, I once created a print ad. which scored fantastically well in studies (STARCH) and was then written about by several creative directors. I'm sorry to say that they missed the point entirely. That is to say, they thought I had a point when I really didn't... unless, of course, they knew my subconscious better than I did. I'll see if I can find a link to the ad. somewhere. <br><br>However, I do know that the case against Silk Cut cigarettes is a hard one to refute. This company (a part of BAT, I think) marketed it's mild cigareetes with phenomenal success in the UK for most of the 70's, 80's and 90's using a 'slashed' piece of purple silk as its key symbol. I'm sure Google will turn up all kinds of interesting and often baffling theories about this. <p></p><i></i>

After reading that, I had to call my husband in out of the yard...<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

It did get me to thinking about what Bill Hicks said:<br><br>"By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing, kill yourself. No, this is not a joke: kill yourself . . . I know what the marketing people are thinking now too: 'Oh. He's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market.' <br>Oh man, I am NOT doing that...you fucking evil scumbags."<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

It's like a whole other level to the film <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097531/">How to Get Ahead in Advertising</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Good film, but not as good as Withnail And I, <p></p><i></i>

There has been a lot of talk about the use of orange and blue on TV and what it might mean.<br>I don't watch TV but I do watch clips online and was amazed at how different it was since I quit. There is a lot of orange and blue. <p></p><i></i>

[Chiaroscuro]

Slate had an article about it at the time -<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2102940/">www.slate.com/id/2102940/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

How to Get Ahead in Advertising stands alone for driving me onto the floor, weeping and helpless. Maybe watching it did something to my mind? If I even read the title I feel a bout of hysteria coming on. <p></p><i></i>

I think "Shawn of the Dead" pretty much did it for me as far as Brit com's went. Well, Brit rom-zom-com's anyway. <br><br>HTGAHIA was excellent but Withnail always puzzled me. One of those cults that I never got. <p></p><i></i>
