although those messages dont really work... the subconscious doesnt really register those images at all... i'm a psychology minor, and we just went over stuff like that - it's below our level of perception. even if they are somehow picked up, most likely our brains just completely ignore it

there was a company that claimed to have put subliminal messages for snacks and drinks in a movie and that sales of those rose over 50% - it turned out to be a complete hoax

on a side note - "fight club" intentionally put several quick "subliminal messages" in... really its just a few pictures (keep in mind, this movie is "Rated are for disturbing and graphic depiction of violent anti-social behavior, sexuality and language.", i.e. NOT for kids) but they actually call attention to them in the movie, so you're sort of expecting them
As I was going down the stair, I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today; I wish I wish he'd go away.
