There's the guy holding his business on the Camel cigarette packs. Sorry I don't have the image.

Is the "e" in sex part of the "s" which is laying sideways?

If your mind can't receive it consciously, it can't be processed subconsciously.

There have been numerous studies on subliminal messaging, and they have all shown that none of it works.

The Skittle's 'Berry Sexplosion' is a classic, and the dick on the cover of The Little Mermaid.

From what I can tell. The 'S' is facing up, the 'E' facing down, and the 'X' normal in the middle.

No, no it's not.

Those pesky facts get in the way every time.

It isn't open-and-shut. Regardless of whether one believes that crude SEX embeds and tachiscopic messages are controlling everyone's behaviour, advertisements should be avoided as much as possible. The simple fact is that modern advertising by its very nature is subliminal and unhealthy: see the hypnotic visual and audial effects, the suggestive and symbolic depictions of gender and family roles and genitalia, and the general wanton manipulation of people's fears and desires.

If you're smart enough to question it, you're smart enough to not be effected by it.

Read the following "SEX" Does reading that make you want to go buy something. Does reading it openly or subliminally have any effect on you what so ever?
