A new face for an old tactic!
The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia has found a way to put a new face on an old tactic, one that can be sinister in it's uses and I find it highly offensive.

Although subliminal persuasion is around us all the time thanks to a world that worships marketing, it just seems wrong that everyone involved in this should seem so happy about this endeavor.
