Too Hot Or Not + Subliminal Messages

Post by holliscannotlogin » Dec 13th 2002, 1:49 am

Hey People...
I was just watching this show 'MuchMusic Talks' (MuchMusic = Music TV station in Canada), a show where a bunch of people sit around and discuss sex in music videos, and the whole 'Too Hot Or Not' thing.
Anyway, the main point of discussion was Christina Aguilera's 'Dirrty'. Apparently, this media literacy class watched the video in slow-mo, and within the first 30 frames the words 'Eat Lick Live P*ssy' were flashed on the screen, among other things. They contacted Much about this, and because of that Much is now airing a 'cleaner' version of 'Dirrty'.
So basically I'm just wondering if any of you know anything about 'subliminal messages' in advertising and whatnot. I've tried to find some info on the web and I'm at a loss. Any resources on this would be greatly appreciated. I'd also be interested in your thoughts on the 'Too Hot or Not' subject, if you have any. :P

I don't know about that video, but here's a good place to start learning about subliminal content.

I've only seen the video a few times, but I did hear that the video was banned in Thailand because some of the posters in the background advertise Thailand's sex industry and "young underage girls." The Thai government felt this was an offensive stereotype of their country.

P.S. You can view a diagram of all Christina's piercings here :shock:

Look, if this is weird for you, being tutored? I don't mind helping you a little longer.
You could have sex with me if you really want to help...I guess that's a "no"?

See I knew once I heard the girl from 4 non Blondes was writing a lot of her songs on the album that she was just trying to get into Cristina's barely legal pants.

I'll take that as proof.

Yeah, and only one nipple pierced? Not even a mention of mystical runes of power branded into her flesh! :P
