Have to come up with a plan for consistent stories on As NOT Seen on TV. Should I start with with TV shows? Books? Or just my opinion?

Subliminal messages are hidden messages in advertisements.  The word subliminal means below the threshold of consciousness, which means these verbal and visual messages are easily missed.  They are also missed because they are flashed so quickly in advertisements.   The purpose of these messages are to get you buy through repetition, photos, and words.

It seems that the word sex is favored  by many advertising specialists.  In the music industry, reversing recordings occurs frequently.

I am sharing this so you can be more mindful of the commercials you watch and the music you ingest.  The images are not only mind blowing; they are quite entertaining.

What is your favorite court TV show?

The TV show that made it OK to be unmarried and over 30: Mary Tyler Moore. That show created an uproar in its day. Today, it’s the norm.

What is your favorite TV show? Why?

Do you know which TV show made society more acceptable of unmarried women over thirty who wanted to work instead of start a family?

Does TV reflect or shape society?? What do you think?

I was listening to Chicago Speaks on V103 FM this past Sunday morning and former Alderman Dorothy Tillman, Ty Wansley, and Darlene Hill were discussing the absence of census bureau attention to the African American community.  The three things I remember were:

1) the lack of workers canvassing African American neighborhoods;

2) the lack of media attention targeting Black citizens; and

3) big data collection campaigns in other communities that are not occurring in African American communities.

Do you think the Census Bureau is ignoring the African American community?

Values were determined by church, family and government before TV. Which of these institutions have the greatest influence today?
