I think this is true to some extent. Those people who are most likely to have a favorable reaction to culture-jamming would be those who are already aware and in favor of it. For others, they either don't believe they are susceptible to messages or they don't care and see fighting it to be a waste of time.

But in saying that, I don't to leave the impression that I don't think culture-jamming is worthwhile and valuable. Like I said, I do it all the time in my own little world and I'm one of the most cynical anti-marketing, anti-consumerism bitches you'll ever meet.
