The Secret Sales Pitch, a book you should read!

Here's a web site and a book I really hope you'll read and SOON! The Secret Sales Pitch: An Overview of Subliminal Advertising shows where and how we are subliminally pushed to buy products, or have certain feelings. Smoking companies, alcohol companies, the fashion industry all put funny little 'things' in their ads to talk to our subconscious and trigger feelings of NEED for that product. Screens are added to movies to scare us more. IT'S TRUE!!!

Even the movies tell us we NEED particular brands of cigarettes, alcohol, and soda pop. Recently I watched a movie and the characters were drinking Rolling Rock beer in scene after scene. The smokers were all smoking Marlboro's. Don't think movies are subliminally selling to you? Don't believe that ads in magazines promote sexual violence and feelings of inadequecy? Don't believe that Tony The Tiger is selling cereal to your kid? Well, The Secret Sales Pitch shows places where advertisers and promoters reach in and speak to that "I WANT" part of your brain, and you'll find yourself buying that product, or feeling the feelings they are pushing on you.

Mr. Bullock has been kind enough to have some e-mail discussions with me regarding his book and even though I was a bit apprehensive, I went ahead and told him about an error I discovered in his book (now THAT's cheeky, huh?).

I also received his kind approval to talk about his book here, and put the link in for those of you that are interested (and frankly, you should be!!) to go check it out further and get your own copy of the book.

I spotted an ad in the September Harper's Bazaar magazine and scanned and forwarded that on to Mr. Bullock for his input - and maybe a feature in his next book!! I was amazed by my reaction to the advertisement. It's for (it turns out) a high-end-fashion handbag company called Dolce & Gabbana. In the ad - three very well dressed women are fighting over a nude man. One woman has her hand around the throat of another, with an upraised whip in her hand! The third woman appaers to be about to deliver a smack to the well-defined behind of the nude man - who is draped over a chair. Where's the handbags, we all wonder? Well, heck, all that ad makes me want to do is go out and start a fight! Why? Because the undertoned message is about "the woman's internal conflicts as she simultaneously loves, hates, wants to destroy and wants to save the man." - this according to a comment from Mr. Bullock from our e-mail discussions after he got the scanned ad.
