I gotta say the distribution of the colors on the new "barcode" is reminiscent of the old Marlboro branding, but Ferrari had earlier "barcode" designs that were all black and white (or red and white). Also seriously suggesting that this is subliminal advertising screams TINFOIL HAT.

How can in be subliminal when we all know what it means?

(IIRC, the bar code is the UPC code for a pack of smokes...)

TO the Media: We know what it's for. If you think we don't, you are the morons.

Ferrarri running the marlboro colors is the only reason I still smoke, seeing as how anything even remotely related to smoking on the television takes complete control of my brain. Maybe I should sue?

It almost looks as if they'd pixillated out the Marlboro logo like a censored TV broadcast.

Yes, please blame Ferrari. As part of your settlement ask for a 599X. Actually, ask for two and give me one since I gave you the idea for settling for a 599X.
