McCain ad questioned as word 'HANG' appears over image of Barack Obama

[240 is Back]

A McCain ad aired on Fox News channel with the words "HANG" in the background along with a photograph of Barack Obama has sparked outrage after being noticed by a reporter at a local Fox television affiliate.

The words "HIGHER TAXES" are transposed on an image of Obama standing in front of a crowd. The background is blurred at the edges so that the words from Obama's signature theme -- change -- has been cut down to the word "HANG." The shot appears for about a second. You can watch the ad in its entirety below.

No, only when the McCain campaign used a fade gradient to remove letter from the background.

wow, someone went for the subliminal and got busted...  I don't see any other reason for a fade on a picture like that.  Where the fade takes place, it was done to incorporate some of the letters above.  Certainly there is no benefit to leaving change in the ad.  I'm not an expert but I have taken advertising courses, some of them dealing heavily with the hidden message.  I do know the one thing I did learn well is there's nothing, NOTHING, that isn't well thought out in an ad.
