I have already mentioned the FIJI water and the Fiji Mermaid link (see thread called Another Barnum link)


IMO the toothpaste at the end of the bed seems strange to me too. Here goes….


If you google Barnum and toothpaste you get links to Barnum's advertising brilliance. He was named the Shakespeare of Advertising and was a master of hype.

“Look for it! Wait for it! See it! It is coming” P.T. Barnum

They called him the Shakespeare of advertising. When you read lines like:

“Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

“Limited edition collector’s item at an unbelievable low special discount price”

“Going out of business, last and final liquidation closeout sale! All items must go! We’re closing our doors forever!”

You are reading pure Barnum. His style was to translate the everyday situation into a commercial via popular (or vulgar) language. It’s a skill. Words like “jumbo” are his. He single-handedly manufactured hype.

If you’re a self-promoter, Barnum blazed the trail for you. He understood one fundamental principle of advertising – and that is how important it is to gather a crowd. And he sold the exotic: the circus!”


Barnum was at the forefront by using advertising to sell his products well ahead of the brand advertising which we know today. Companies such as Pepsodent toothpaste sold millions from using advertising, using their preemptive claim style of advertising.

The toothpaste doesn't seem to belong in the picture which is why I think the picture is staged and this is another clue.

Take a look at these:

This is very good observation and the clues you give go well hand in hand with the belief on the Barnum theory. They are subtle clues that  where left for a few to find and make something of them. Like putting two and two together. I for one am very fascinated by the Barnum theory. To me is the only theory that has stuck in my head since I first read it; which makes sense given how Michael admired/liked Barnum so much, which is why I decided to follow up on it Thanks for posting this!

Keep the “Hope Alive”…

I like your posts. They sound smart and well thought out.

Are you talking here about a kind of product placement?

Trust no one!

Michael and Barnum … they are too much alike in so many similar sisuations. I totally get Michael now and his “hoax” – he is a complete genius.

And what’s about “THIS IS IT” ?

An overwhealmingly smiling strange MJ announcing an event that was never meant to take place?

Look:




http://xroads.virginia.edu/~MA…..essay.html

Barnum’s “What Is It?” exhibit – which is a marketing students basic field of study

Citing the link:

["ONE of Barnum's most manipulative uses of rhetoric occurs in the ambiguous language that used in the "What Is It?"

advertising campaign. "It" was actually an African-American man named William Henry Johnson. Johnson was a selfmade

freak, and according to speculation his mother sold him into show business at a young age."]

["By describing the exhibit in both human and animal terms "What Is It?" is exists in a liminal space that resists definite

classification."]

Liminal – wandering between the worlds and realities.

Gone or not gone, here or not here, alive or not alive – and no definite answer ever possible.

As a result: individuals drifting in between the one or the other side, in any case stuck emotionally, hooked onto the plot,

case, story or whatever they name it.

And all of this planned in order to get attention?

Marketing (=working the market, milking the market) is only about

A.I.D.A.

Attract

Interest

Desire

Action

How many of us did follow this street in buying “one last item of memory of the beloved (maybe gone, maybe not gone)”

MJ?

Who is getting the money of all this?

There’s the answer. It’s not the doc, he was just used.

This is great. I really think that this piece you have found has a connection to it all ' I had looked at it before but hadn't made the connection at all.

This is Is' as opposed to 'What is It'. MJ played the freak here with his weird behaviour which left us all guessing for weeks – Was it Michael or was it an imposter.

Brilliant spot MariannaB.
