alot of it has to do with timing as well...gay culture i wouldn't say was getting popular or anything, but it was being more accepted and more people were open about it. but also looking at it, why not apply the ad to both staight AND gay men tho. subliminally get them both to buy the cigs...all about the green

little mermaid so you guys can see it now

ORIGINAL: love the booB5

ORIGINAL: metalmmaniac

the bright spot forms a phallic shape that he seems to be groping and "wrapping" around with his hand...see this pic for a clearer image...fuct, isn't it?!?!
Yeah I definitely can't see that pic without noticing that now. I understand the whole "sex sells" angle... but what are they going for there? Are they taking a gay angle on things or is this supposed to be some masturbation reference? Odd...
The phallus is supposed to symbolize sexual anxiety. This is effective because people tend to indulge in behaviors such as drinking, smoking, and overeating when they are nervous or anxious. By making people who view the advertisement nervous they are more likely to smoke more but if the advertisement overtly attempted to make people nervous they would probably object to the add and refuse to buy the product. Its an entirely psychological approach which is why I find it interesting since Im a psych major

Remember the building explosion scene at the end of "Fight Club" - not sure if that was advertising, but it was subliminal.
