The Sask Party is running scared


REGINA - An NDP advertisement accusing the Saskatchewan Party of a hidden agenda has a dirty subliminal message of its own, the Opposition charged Tuesday.

The television ad in question consists of a series of written phrases, where some words fade away letter by letter. Saskatchewan Party MLA Nancy Heppner said that one phrase - "Sask Party stood for Privatization Of Crowns" - dissolves for a split second to read "Sask Party stood for porn", before the words fade out completely.


So let me get this straight. If you freeze frame the ad and ignore one of the five letters (the "t") -then there is a subliminal message?

I franktly fintd thatt a litttle sustpicious.

Reaching much?

Actually, you don't have to freeze it. It's obvious even in real time. And for an audience which is used to parsing p0rn, pron, and p_oRn, there's no mistaking it.

My guess is that the NDP will change the ad pretty quickly. Even if it's an accident, people will suspect the worse, and many won't appreciate it.
