What is with those 1/2 second Intel Inside commercials?

Have you seen those little blips of a commercial? It has been happening on multiple channels (I think I've noticed them on Fox, TLC, and CNN Headline News). There in the middle of a commercial block, one commercial fades, a black screen appears, in the middle of the screen is a logo (I've seen Sony and Dell), and in the bottom left is an Intel Inside logo. A half second later, that goes away and a new comercial is on.

Is it an intensional subliminal advertizing campaign? Is it a coincidence that multiple channels keep cutting different computer commercials short? Or am I seeing things?
 
i haven't noticed that before.

however, what i have noticed is that my local cable provider will insert commercials during commercial breaks and when those commercials are finished i will notice the last half second of whatever is being broadcast by the actual, originating channel, if that makes sense.
 
Intel is scared because AMD is gaining market share and respect in the market, albeit slowly. They must resort to guerilla marketing to brainwash people.
 
I have noticed for a long time now that the cable company pre empts many of the national commercials to put in their own/local stuff.

I often see one national commercial start for a second and then a different commercial will interrupt it. I'm not supposed to see the original commercial, but the timing is often out of synch, so I'll see just a brief peek of one commercial before it is pre empted.

Perhaps something similar is happening to you?

At Intel's headquarters they also give out apples with razor blades inside them to all of the children of their employees on Halloween.
