Again, urban myth in the sense that it works. In Bush's case, not least in
the sense that people saw it- in other words it wasn't subliminal enough!
But that's why it's a silly idea in the first place because it works on the
basis that the less you are aware of the image/message being sent, the more
powerful its effects on you. The logical endpoint here is by not showing
anything at all you'll have complete control over people.
