Subliminal Propaganda

The Message You Did Not Notice

A red oval badge with white script across it: Subliminal Propaganda. The design borrows the confident lettering of mid-century soda and cigarette brands, the logos people trusted without reading them.

Worn on a sand T-shirt, it passes for an advertisement until the words sink in. That delay is the joke and the point: the most effective message is the one that passes for decoration.
