I get it now.  He's the weathy America.  See all this time I thought he was implying he identified with the non-wealthy portion. Silly me!

28,200 square feet.  Does he realize what is done to the environment just by heating that mansion? And look at the clear-cutting of forests done just to get the space for the house.  And it even has a four story tower!!

I really went into the wrong part of the law business.  Clearly suing over breast implants was the way to go...my bad.

Food Network and Subliminal Ads

Yeah, I must be bored today, as this is my third post to LJ.

ANYWAY....Food Network seems to be embedding subliminal ads in their Iron Chef America shows:

Wow.  That is illegal.  I remember debating this topic back in college, and this was the FCC ruling on subliminals:

The FCC issued its only regulation on subliminal advertising on Jan. 29, 1974. The entire regulation states:

"Subliminal Programming. The FCC sometimes receives complaints regarding the alleged use of subliminal techniques in radio and television programming. Subliminal programming is designed to be perceived on a subconscious level only. The Commission has held that the use of subliminal perception is inconsistent with the obligations of a licensee and contrary to the public interest because, whether effective or not, such broadcasts are intended to be deceptive." (39 Federal Register 3714, January 29, 1974) (Note: The Federal Register prior to 1995 is not available online.)

(The FCC issued its regulation in response to a 1974 TV toy commercial found to repeatedly flash the phrase "Get It" on the screen during the ad.)

And if you think that video was cool, check out this one:
