A theory is proposed regarding the use of the word "Haiti" in brief, potentially subliminal television flashes during commercial breaks. The discussion links this to the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and suggests that the global response to disasters often amounts to "genocide by neglect." Parallels are drawn to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the failure of infrastructure in the Ninth Ward.

A critique of a flu vaccine commercial aired during the television show "Dollhouse" on Fox, which allegedly used a "seamless" transition to confuse viewers. The hosts argue that the advertisement's themes of "sharing" and "memories" were intentionally integrated with the show's plot to make the audience more receptive to the marketing message.

An analysis of CNN promotional spots for Anderson Cooper 360 suggests the use of audio techniques designed to confuse the brain and deliver suggestions through separate stereo channels. In a separate media critique, a viral story claiming that fellatio reduces breast cancer risk is identified as a hoax. Despite being debunked, the story was erroneously attributed to the Associated Press and circulated through mainstream outlets like CNN.com.
