COMPANY PUTTING SUBLIMINAL ADS IN ADULT DVDS



LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – A Los Angeles-based X-rated film company is experimenting with subliminal messages placed in its line of adult DVDs. Vivid Video says six new DVDs will contain subliminal messages such as “Buy Vivid” and “There’s No Girl Like A Vivid Girl.” Company executive David James calls the subliminals “branding devices” and says the decision to add them came about after it was discovered many porn customers have no idea which company makes which X-rated video. The subliminal messages were supposed to be a secret, but James admits the cat is now out of the box. Meanwhile, well-known subliminal expert Dr. Wilson Bryan Key says Vivid Video isn’t doing anything that Coca-Cola hasn’t done, but he thinks the secret messages would be more effective if they’re inserted into religious films.
