Here's something I'll bet you didn't know. I didn't know it either, and I consider myself something of an expert on "subliminal messaging".
Remember this from the 2008 and 2012 campaigns?
That was, as you know, the official logo for the Barack Hussein Obama campaign.
Well, it turns out that this wasn't just a logo. It was a subliminal Islamist message!
At least according to Professional Wingnut and Bloviating Blowhard Michael
“What is the symbol or campaign logo of the Obama administration?” Savage asked. “What are these Obama bumper stickers? Let’s see, a blue crescent over fallen red and white stripes. What is the crescent? Is that not the symbol of Islam? And the blue stripe over the red stripe represents the states that vote Democratic red over the states that vote Republican blue, and so he now unites them under the banner of Islam.”Jesus, wake up America!!! It's right in front of your face!!!
As the author of the story says, somewhat sotto voce, maybe

Isn't there a basic problem with such a "subliminal message?" If no one recognizes the logo as containing the meaning that Savage ascribes to it, then what is the point? I think it is more obviously the letter "O" done in red, white, and blue. It hasn't affected me. (Wait: all of a sudden, I have this craving for a bargain flight to Mecca!)
In the words of the old CSNY song, "the ones you never notice are the ones you have to watch."
I was on the website for Expedia after about five minutes of staring at it...
