Although I can understand it from an artistic viewpoint, I guess I don't get it as "jamming" since it gives "those symbols undue publicity". |
The intent is to take those symbols and utilize their power (which lies is making subliminal their true message) and force those that watch their commercials and view their adverts to actually consider not only what they're being sold but what sort of effect all of these messages have impressed upon them.
While these "culture jammers" are often too concerned with "freeing minds" from "corporate slavery" - I think it's important, especially in these times, for people and especially children to realize the true intent and meaning of all these messages that are forced upon us.
