subliminal advertising was shown to be ineffective years ago

...which is why Coke and other companies get paid when their products are placed in movies...

No, that's "product placement" -- the products are shown prominently, in return for payment.

"Subliminal" means you don't actually see it, but somehow your subconscious grabs it. Like the shape of a naked woman in the curves of the ice cubes in a glass of whiskey in a magazine ad, or the word "SEX" spelled upside-down in the clouds in a photo background. Cute theory, but when it was tested for effectiveness at getting a message across, subliminal advertising turned out to be indistinguishable from noise.

So as far as the donkey's-butt influencing anybody to vote differently, don't waste your time worrying about it...
