Yeah, that's pretty weird. I've noticed it before. At a high school near where I live theres those poles to keep people from drive into places they shouldn't that look exactly like penises. Even got the wrinkles too.
It's not so much a conspiracy as much it is subliminal advertising. It has been used for decades to sell products. This is used in more advertisements than you think, and sex imagery is the primary form of subliminal marketing that is used because it has proven that it triggers the subconscious mind more than any other form of subliminal. Check out this advertisement taken from a Soloflex ad. Notice the bottom right hand (left facing) side of the man's abdomen. Here's another one: How about this one. Look at where the man's hand is on the woman's back. Do you see it?
My thoughts exactly. In the 70s, one of my buddies came across a book that exposed this sort of advertising and shared it with us all. One picture I recollect was one of a tall cocktail glass of bourbon and ice and in the ice you could see someone (female figure) "drowning in alcohol" so to speak. And one with lovers embracing. Once it's pointed out to you, it's easy to see. ETA: and Where the f*ck did you find an old Benson and Hedges ad??? *lamo*
Unidentified Objects You haven't noticed them?! All those swirls, squiggles and unusual shapes in ice cubes, on bottles, in liquid being poured, and elsewhere in alcohol beverage ads. The Center for Science in the Public Interest insists that one can see these elements as faces, animals, breasts, penises, death masks, and other forms....as a subliminal marketing campaign to sell more liquor" Hotwater
