For those of you that are into culture jamming, I truly want to understand how and why you think it's effective. The Sony pic that JJ posted (#7), for example. "There's nothing good on TV." Cute. Clever. Funny. But do you really think that anyone's not going to buy a Sony or not watch TV because of that?
