Introduction:
'Subliminal advertising' is a marketing technique which tries to manipulate people's opinion, without them becoming aware that they are being influenced. It may consist of a movie clip, image, or sound byte that is superimposed on an image, sound track or video track. It is inserted in such a way that the audience cannot detect its presence. It might be a message 'Drink Coke' or 'Eat Popcorn' flashed on a movie screen so quickly that it cannot be consciously sensed. It may be the word 'sex' or an erotic image in ice cubes of a gin advertisement that can only consciously be seen when it is searched for.
'Backmasking' is a type of subliminal advertising. It can exist in one of two forms:
Intentional backward masking: A verbal message is recorded, is reversed in direction, and is superimposed on an existing musical passage. This can only be done intentionally -- by design. It first appeared in the late 1960s as a result of an accidental tape mixing error by John Lennon in the Beatles' song 'Rain.' He liked it and left it in. It is easy to recognize: when the music is played normally, one hears a passage that sounds like gibberish -- vaguely word-like, as if it is in a foreign language. Played backwards, clear, understandable phrase or sentence is heard. Examples include:'The music is reversible but Time is not. Turn back, turn back, turn back.' Electric Light Orchestra, 'Face the Music' at the start of the song 'Fire on High.'
