What usually occurs is careful and well-considered art and copy specifically designed to attract attention both consciously and unconsciously. These artfully crafted messages that could be construed as an innocent coincidence usually rely upon promoting a product through sex or sexual situations. Take for example this plug for Disneyland & California Adventure theme parks "2 Fer" gift card promotion. It features a little kid straining to pull a sword out of an anvil. Or he's showing Dad just who the man in the family really is.
There are no mistakes in advertising.
Wow.

ReplyDeleteMan.. I knew there were soemething reeeally wrong with that Tumnus guy...
ReplyDeleteFunny. I kind of tend to think/hope that this was unintentional.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, there are carousels at both parks. The Disneyland one's been there since the park opened:
