TV Commercial; Subliminal Caves

Postby JoeyS » Dec 10, 2007 10:10 pm

It occurred to me after seeing this on TV several times this year, that I found myself thinking about caves. It's a TV ad for a paint product (valspar), but every shot looks like an oddly man-made cave. There's a sea cave, a tree cave (?),an ice cave, a Classic TAG pit( :rofl: ), a desert cave, and a mountain cave.

Just thought I'd share. Music is pretty good too.

The only TV I usually watch is the evening news. Tonight, there was an LL Bean commercial where about 6 kids all strap on LL Bean LED headlamps and line up on the sofa to watch the fireplace on Christmas Eve.

They talk something about the headlight, (don't remember) but then a pair of tall legs in dark red velour walk across the screen to reveal all 6 of them in the moonlight conked out on the couch.

Is this intended to sell headlamps, or create cavers?
