The below advert for the Nikon Coolpix S210 camera caught my eye. Firstly it has numerous ferris wheel type rides spinning around fast, everything is illuminated (and blurred). Note the 6 pointed star/seal of solomon on one of the ferris wheels. Ferris Wheel's symbolise the all seeing eye (hence the London Eye and all the new similar "eyes" popping up around the world). If this doesn't have a dissociative and hypnotic effect on the viewer then I don't know what would (I probably don't ^^). Obviously a standard analysis of this advert is that it is using the theme park backdrop to show off the camera's amazing ability to focus, but you have to look beyond the obvious in these adverts in my opinion. For instance, for anyone who hasn't seen it I've seen a resurgance in this advert lately.
Gots to have purple Barney (the loveable reptilian ^^).
boxed faces
Couple of printed advertisements that have mind control themes (individual parts of the face, eye in particular).
