Gay Kiss On Holiday Advert, Acceptable ?

It's not subliminal in the slightest.

And being subliminal is an absolute, like 'unique' - it's either subliminal, or it's not, and it's clearly not.

Subliminal advertising tries to influence people without them being aware of it, for example by showing messages for such a short time that people read them without realizing that they have done so.

You're on the turn.

SnookerPlayer - the fact that SnookerPlayer saw the gay kiss - as did I, but only because I was looking for it - proves that, by definition, it was not subliminal.

I'm old enough to remember when being gay just meant one was happy...

[ummmm]

Divebuddy - you could be wrong on that point!

[Mamyalynne]

It's a very happy advert.

[jackthehat]

Yes, it's acceptable.
It's a 'blink and you'll miss it' moment in any case.

[ummmm]

Normal people...lol...define them then :-D

Dovebuddy, I personally don't think children seeing two same sex people kissing as odd in the slightest, in this particular advert it's that fleeting a glance that it probably wouldn't even register with them. And If they did notice it, im willing to bet they wouldn't see anything out of the ordinary about it unless their parents pointed it out as such.

Incidentally, aren't we a bit late getting our knickers in a twist about it? The heading says it's a 2016 advert.

I didn't even notice the first time I watched it. The second time, it was over so quickly I wasn't sure they were the same sex. Nothing to get offended or upset about.

"Normal people...lol...define them then :-D"

Try this:
People with female genotype..........NORMAL
People with male genotype.............NORMAL
People with abnormal genes in shape or number....Medically ABNORMAL

All the rest....ABNORMAL,,,and that includes homosexuals.

[Dazzleflash]

Gosh two men kissing, good job some of you don't live in Italy or France lol!

[Lie-in King]

Perfectly acceptable ad.

[SnookerPlayer]

Had to google genotype.
