yeah, i think they would be more effective if they put on a suit and took public policy classes instead of making photochops complaining about coca-cola. in the end, i think the adbusters posse has kind of a narrow/negative outlook, not unlike the talk-radio crowd.
one of my "friends" is really into this type of thing. he bought the $60 "fair trade" chuck taylors or whatever and he can hardly make rent. he got mad at me for talking smack about BND, even though his weekly beer/cigs habit keeps the Machine humming nicely (and i really haven't bought anything since july).
