ADBUSTERS!

This is a wonderful site I've frequented for a couple of years now. I especially recommend the great spoof ads.

3. It is good!
They're Vancouver-based, and I've toured their offices (it's still based in someone's house). I enjoy it, but it can be a little too esoteric at times lately. It's falling victim to the same fate as "RayGun", in that it's so obsessed with style, that the message can be unreadable.

4. Yep, I like them quite a lot
There are quite a few in Paris tagging the ads in the subways. Of course, they are tried, condemned, etc.. But at least, they do something against the brainwashing that you and me are submitted to everyday.

Long live the revolution.

Get Bush in The Hague, impeach Kerry, get democracy back in the hands of the people.

5. Yeah, Adbusters, Vancouver-based, been around for a while.
Bit of a one-trick-pony. Nice trick, though.

7. I like them because, if I was young and single, I'd be totally into that.
I love their campaign of defacing corporate propaganda and retaking the commons.

no real solutions (because there are no easy answeres), but their analysis of our age is spot on.
