I'm not sure how NBC is doing that; that is, putting a subliminal message somewhere, somehow, on America's TV screens while they are showing the peacock. I've been watching NBC-TV as long as I can remember, mostly in black and white until I got my first color set (a well-used Sears Silvertone round-screen table model) in 1970, but I've never seen anything like this. NBC probably recently hired a computer expert, well-versed in modern computer technology, who took the original peacock logo and digitized it. That's the only way I can imagine NBC's peacock showing subliminal messages, as the original bird didn't show messages at all. The only version of the peacock I remember that ever made any sound (except for NBC's own background sound and an announcer saying "The following program is brought to you in living color on NBC") was the one that sneezed.
I'll have to watch NBC's peacock closely the next time it appears. The subliminal message may come and go literally at the blink of an eye, so if you aren't paying strict attention you might miss it.
