I think Adbusters is running out of ideas

[Stefu]

Adbusters usually has great rather professional-looking fake ads and slick (though rather smarmy) anti-commercialism campaigns, but I really don't think their newest one is up the snuff:

So their new campaign is to subversively... put big black spots everywhere. Whoa. That'll teach the Man. Everybody will certainly understand that this is a powerful symbol against the struggle of corporatization instead of just an inane graffiti.

I knew about this campaign months ago from some magazines my brother has. I happen to agree with it, I would much rather see a large black spot than an ad. Besides, some of the small black spots slightly resemble bullet holes, makes me feel much better.

Adbusters is a bit hopeless. I bought Lasn's book to see what he was on about. It seems to me to be a confusing farrago of ideas.

i heard about this a while back too.

the problem is, a big black dot? it's branding, too--it's a logo.

They should pain bricks over it.

Or whatever it's surroundings are, for that matter.
