Subliminal Advertising and Modern Day Brainwashing The advertising industry, a prominent and powerful industry, engages in deceptive subliminal advertising which most us are unaware of. As I tried to show and explain some of these advertisements to my colleagues, the first and predominant response I got was "You have a sick mind." In defense of myself and all of the researchers who have studied these ads, I must point out that it is the advertisers who printed the ads.
