Is Subliminal Advertising Legal In your nation?
In Kalasparata it is for all forms of subliminal advertising are legal to everyone (who pays for it of coarce). Why would it be any other way? In your nation

[Victorious Decepticons]

It's legal to try, but it won't work. A Decepticon's processors work in such a way that all data streams are analyzed and all relevant bits are sent to the consciousness.

The messages in a subliminal data stream would automatically be flagged as relevant information by the person's filtering CPU. Therefore, as far as a Decepticon is concerned, it would no longer be subliminal!

We do find those ads really annoying, thanks to the fact that we see/hear the subliminal feed just as much as the regular part.

Fortunately, we're only exposed to these when we tune to foreign channels. Decepticon advertisers know not to bother.

[Anogen Dys]

It is only legal for private companies if approval is granted by the AARO (Anogenese Advertising Regulation Organisation). In addition, the technique is reguarly used in government propaganda message.

[Dystopia 1984]

Only legal form, though usually advertisements are kept to a minimum since the products are mainly aimed at foreign customers.

[Seperate Vermont]

Lagel Sit Esruoc Fo.

In other words, no.

[Frenequesta]

The Office of Fact-Checking and Logic, which regulates business and political advertising, will reject any advertisement with subliminal techniques before it is aired.

[Privateland]

It's used and is quite effective in making proles buy any useless old commodity.

[Purpelia]

Advertising is the capitalist art of coercing people into purchasing things they do not require.
As such, it is illegal in the land of the brave.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Subliminal Advertising is considered misleading by Minoa's Advertising Standards Authority and therefore banned. However this guideline is not exhaustive as subliminal messages have been a subject of popular culture, it's just that its presence should be announced at the beginning and end of the show.

do you have a factbook?

[FREEaquaticdancelesson]

That's the only way we can fund a government, ever since the Caligula-esque Tax era began of abolishing most all taxes.

[Jordtopia]

It's legal, but not popular.

[The Merchant Republics]

Yes, but it's effectiveness is in great dispute, typically it only works on people who would have already bought the product, and in general is too expensive in comparison to other advertisements.

[Victorious Decepticons]

do you have a factbook?

OOC:

I've never gotten around to making one, but maybe I'll start in a few days or so.

I think it'd take me ages to do a decent one, and even then, things like this wouldn't be in it because I write 'em as they come up.

[Moresnetujo]

Advertising, as the art-form of modern capitalism, is banned in Moresnet.

[Kalasparata]

bump

[Greater Rhodes]

Yes, but companies debate as to whether it works or not

[Makaar]

Since research on subliminal advertising is inconclusive at best, it is not banned as it is not regarded as potentially harmful. It's also not used, as it's not regarded as terribly effective.

[Georgism]

Yeah.

There is no advertising, though.

[Paroom]

Subliminal advertising is not done very often because it has led to 7 crippling lawsuits in our nation's modern (post-20th-century) history, which in turn led to the dissolution of a major marijuana company. It is legal, but it is heavily frowned upon by professionals.

[Orlkjestad]

Banned, and nobody would use it anyway, as it is considered of a coward to use subliminal messages in any form instead of doing it the old fashioned way, to try to persuade people into doing what the ad wants them to do, and either fail or succeed.

[Grays Harbor]

No, subliminal is not permitted
of course it is, just bribe somebody enough
We would never allow advertisers to stoop that low
How else we gonna sell our crap?
We are more civilized than that
BUY BURPSEE COLA!

[Gandoor]

It used to be legal, but no longer is, as it was deemed that there was no point in subliminally advertising for state-controlled businesses.

[Herminia]

Nein, our companies feel that traditional advertising is more effective.

[Khazyan]

If propoganda counts as advertising, then yes. Hell yes.
