I agree with you, Brian, this can actually be 'fun stuff' for those of us who are 'in the know'--well-versed, so to speak, in the 'evil ways' of subliminal persuasion, and therefore usually on our toes. But the less educated, the poor sods who don't seem to realise they have a subconscious to begin with, Do we take their sad state into consideration? They're certainly far more vulnerable to such mental manipulation in the market place (and at the political circus).    And yes, I've considered the possibility that Hochstein was seeing just how far he could take things given the context--bordering on something akin to self-parody, as it were. Yes, that's truly a possibility.    But don't let TIME's upper eschalons off the hook too easily: Check out the two-page spread of Bill and Hillary Clinton on pages 20-21 of the same issue--now that's definitely a very large SEX across Bill's yellow shirt, the X the most obvious letter, formed by the crumple at his sleeve's elbow. Also, not only do Hillary's hands appear to be performing intercourse, but get a load of their size and colour! Is this some sort of subliminal encouragement on the part of TIME to persuade Hillary to adopt Barack Obama as her vice presidential running mate, or vice versa...? (Nothing surprises me at TIME.) As well, on page 8, Vladimir Putin seems to be pointing to something embedded on George Bush's arm. What do those wrinkles read as? Anything? Nothing? Isn't that a devil's tail on Bush's Shirt...?     Stay on your toes, folks....
