This one is a relatively simple commercial from Black & Decker that manipulates men's insecurities about the size of their penises and their erectile capacities.
Of course, most people never realize that they're watching subliminal symbolism, subliminal embeds and other hidden content.
People don't know about any of that because our media doesn't tell us about it.
Con artists don't (purposely) tip off their 'marks' because then they can't con them anymore.
We don't realize we're being subliminally manipulated.
And they ain't telling us.
Remember, it's the advertising you don't see that gets you to buy something.

"Because the evolution of the third hand is a bit slow in coming, Black & Decker created the Auto Tape."
This married man (he's wearing a wedding ring) is trying to "measure up" to the ideal, represented by the metal shower curtain rod.
He strikes out (with his wife?) - he can't keep the "pencil" in his "lips."

Remember as a kid when your parents would mark your height on a wall or doorway every six months or yearly? Even if they didn't, that image and symbolism is a part of the American "Collective Unconscious." Every kid is thrilled when he discovers he's grown a few inches. Adult men still have that deep within their unconscious. The shower head could be a fallopian tube/vaginal symbol. It could represent the man's wife or women in general. Look honey, I measure up now! |
 Grown a few inches. |
 Hail to the King, baby. |
The shower could represent the "proving ground."
Even though the reality of sex in the shower doesn't doesn't live up to the myth perpetuated by our media, the shower is still a powerful symbol of romance and love making.
Maybe that's why the shower curtain rod was the 'standard' he was measuring against?
There seems to be two people in that shower. Is that a woman's shadow on the shower curtain?
Maybe he's with his wife or his naughty next door neighbor, Cynthia?
 That looks like a chainsaw. The BLACK&DECKER logo is the blade. |
 Close up: Is that a woman's silhouette? |
