Ferrari says barcode isn't subliminal advertising

[Tension_36th]

In one of the most pathetic forms of whining and squealing, Ferrari tries to insult the intelligence of the common fan that some how their bar codes are not subliminal messages.

Subliminal messages are intended to be indirect, never directly suggesting the obvious but subtly working on the human subconscious. Its all around us. The human brain can read completely scrambled words in the correct order no matter how much they scramble it. Its this very ability they exploit at a much deeper level. You can take a cosmopolitan magazine and look closely. You will see words like sexy, sex, god lies, 666, satan is good etc written in matching colors over a person's face or inbetween bold texts. Not apparent to your immediate senses but your subconscious is aware of this and absorbs everything as it is. This later affects your mindset and choices without you even realizing it.

The whole idea behind the barcode was given to the press by Phil Morris directly. They clearly mentioned the idea to have the barcodes was to invoke view curiosity if they (fans) havent followed F1 for long. And then they will do their own searching to only realize that spot was meant for Malboro and now its taken up by this clever barcode. So they make the people work it out for themselves for what it's true meaning is. Free lunch and advertising gets done.

For the more regular viewer, they will instantly know that barcode is a way to circumvent the EU ban on Tobacco direct advertising but doesn't prevent a tobaco company to advertise/associate passively. They will know from recent history what that spot was originally meant for. But in 2011 or so, all forms of Tobacco sponsorship will be banned. They cant involve in anyway. No off track adverts or promotional gigs even on a personal level for the drivers. This will be effective in most EU countries. Which is why Ferrari ran behind Santander money in the first place.

These calls have come too late, the tobacco goons will be out anyway. They should have called in the inquiry a while back when they first introduced the the barcode tactic.

The doctor's claim that red is associated with Malboro while a convenient color coincidence, Ferrari have the history with that color scheme to claim it just a coincidence. But that doesn't put side the fact that the color scheme is now synonymous with the tobacco branding as well. Ferrari can maybe get away with this one, but that's about it.

And the most laughable statement by Ferrari is that

Quote:"Neither of these arguments have any scientific basis, as they rely on some alleged studies which have never been published in academic journals. But more importantly, they do not correspond to the truth"

Oh yes they do, infact its a rather vast segment of psychiatry These italian imbeciles need to stick to automotive engineering. Don't jump into fields that they don't have any bearings on. Only to make them the laughing stock of the entire medical field and similar associations.

Go to Science direct and put a search on Subliminal mind conditioning and you will see hundreds of Papers on the matter. Science direct a top collection database. And theres more, like the scientific American etc.

Ferrari really are lame brained clowns. Its almost like they cant help themselves but talk porkkies every time they open their retarded mouths.

now what was the prob here?


Montezemolo: Livery claims nonsense

Quote:"Frankly, I find this argument completely pointless and it is verging on the ridiculous to claim that the colour red or a graphic design which shows a bar code could induce people to smoke," di Montezemolo said on Ferrari's website.

"At a time when, on the other side of the Atlantic they are fighting to provide a more equal health service, in the old continent of Europe, so called experts are racking their brains to come up with theories that have no scientific basis: I think there are more important matters to think about than a bar code.

"Therefore, it's best not to waste any more time replying to this sort of nonsense or to those who are instrumental in wanting to stoke up the story."

Luca the clown thinks he has the credentials to doubt thousands of papers in scientific journals on subliminal advertising and mind control. This joker must be made to run naked around Monza with noting but a cup to cover his thing.

The only things bordering the ridiculous are Ferrari's webmasters, Luca Di donkeymemolo and the script writers who don't stand a chance against well informed professionals who can give details after details worth years of research into subliminal mind conditioning.

AFter branding well informed medical associations as ridiculous Ferrari have shamelessly backtracked and issues this statement.

Quote:Despite that stance, Ferrari opted on Thursday to remove the barcode design from its cars immediately.

A statement issued by the team said: "Together with Philip Morris International we have decided to modify the livery of our cars starting with the Barcelona Grand Prix.

"This decision was taken in order to remove all speculation concerning the so-called 'barcode' which was never intended to be a reference to a tobacco brand.

"By this we want to put an end to this ridiculous story and concentrate on more important things than on such groundless allegations."

If there is really nothing about then why change?

Geez this team is a such farce, if tifosis are proud of this horse poop of a team, their morals as a group needs to seriously questioned. If they want to defend them then its a case of jingoism.

I think this whole thing is ridiculous - some doctors say "wait that's subliminal advertising for Marlboro, let's tell the media about it and give Marlboro some free publicity". Then Ferrari remove the barcode - "oh look the barcode that was advertising Marlboro has disappeared - more free publicity for Marlboro".



I wouldn't be surprised if Marlboro set the whole thing up as a publicity stunt

we will miss the bar code

Another joke of a statement from Ferrari. they want to change the subliminal messaging allegations about their logo, so they have decided to introduce a new one for 2011. and it looks like this:



This is just another even more obvious form of advertising. Take a look at what Marlboro's cigarette logo looks like:



Tilt that about 60 degrees to the left and you get the new Ferrari logo, but instead of a sharp mountain red shade shape they have curved it on the Ferrari logo. This is an insult to human intelligence. Scum bags.

Doesn't solve the problem, the hidden agenda they and Philip Morris have. That is the issue. This is just the same old trick with a new face.

[Chrissie]

I don't see the problem with the new logo.....I don't get the urge to go buy a pack of Marlboro's when I see it or anything....


Come to think of it, that barcode didn't make me want to buy a pack either..


Much ado about nothing really

Your in the medical field you should be knowing all the amount of research going to subliminal influences through the media perpetrated by big corporations. Subliminal messaging works and it has scientific data to corroborate thats why companies spent money on this form advertising.

You can see it/on the gutter/glossy magazines (the ones the crowd buy more you know the ones), food commercials, especially drug commercials.
