So Subliminal

Recently I was watching 24 and noticed something strange at the end of the episode. There was a promo shot of Kiefer Sutherland followed by a quick transition flash and then the FOX logo. I freeze-framed it to discover this:


This screen captures no less than 66 subliminal messages embedded within a few frames! And if you read between the lines for similar promos, you'll see that 24 isn't the only show they do this for. Has FOX no shame?
