On Subway's website, they have a meatball sub with steam rising off it every few seconds. The steam looks like it spells "sex".
Of course, Michael Phelps' ugly mug says the opposite.

Oh, my!
Does it still count as "subliminal" when it's so blatantly obvious? |

I'm not sure that I would have noticed right away with out being told what I'm looking for, but yes that's pretty obvious. Reminds me of The Lion King's similar "sex" subliminal.

My God! You're right!
In the famous Farrah poster, some think her hair is curled to spell s-e-x.

Thank you for pointing out that Michael Phelphs does in fact have an ugly mug. A prime example that famous people are seen as attractive no matter how ugly they are.

That's perverted. Maybe there's some chick somewhere that can equate Phelps, meatball subs and peppers to sex, but, day-um, .... just Day-um.

I thought that this was going to be another one for Snopes, but you are right! I'm amazed it is still there. Surely someone would have told them by now. (don't call me Shirley)
