The last thing I'm thinking of while eating my Big Bacon Classic combo is sex.
Man I want one. |

The murder plot in one of Lt Columbo�s dramas hinges around the use of subliminal message.
The bad guy arranges a slideshow for a group of colleagues to watch, including the intended victim. The images of the show are spliced with tiny �Drink Coca Cola� messages and the victim in particular gets plied with very salty junk food immediately before the show starts.
The killer stands near the screen obscured behind a dais to narrate the appeal of each image, but after a while indiscernibly switches from his own voice to a tape recorder. The recording misleads the audience into thinking that he is still present and correct behind the dais, thereby affording him his alibi for what happens next.
The victim becomes more and more thirsty with the combined effects of salty food and coke importunings. So he rises from his seat and withdraws to the catering area to get a drink, where the killer is awaiting him.
Then the killer slinks back to behind the dais again and continues the narration in real time.
Of course the good Lieutenant is a match for him and sorts it out. |

I think your mind is getting in the way of an innocuous design. Not unlike seeing the virgin Mary on a piece of toast. People are just obsessed with sex and religion. They'll see it everywhere at anytime. |

Can I nominate this as the most idiotic aphorism I've heard yet on Dave's? If I'm smart enough to question domestic violence or the right of someone in authority to hit and mutilate a subservient, or war or Korean standards of driving or...does that mean it won't affect me? Skepticism and intelligence aren't as interconnected as some would like to think. Questioning advertising in itself is always a good thing, but let's leave brainpower out of it.
And look up the difference between effect and affect--it's illuminating! |

I used to get sucked into Columbo episodes. That guy is amazing. Maybe Columbo can explain the movie Inception to me. |
