mburbank | So why did you quit your web site? | ||

VinceZeb | Why waste time making or thinking of some kind of witty response when the truth works just fine. | ||

mburbank | Say, that 'parent's basement' joke was a laugh riot! You should have a web site of your own for pointed social commentary like that. You could have daily rants, a message board and evn get other great writers who reognize your talent to post there. If that didn't draw traffic, you could even post some porn. | ||

El Blanco | Really? You think it might be sponsored by Adidas, Burger King, Captain Morgan, Old Spice, etc etc? | ||

Emu | As much sense as Adbusters makes on some issues, I think it's actually a bunch of companies working together to sell to the oblivious capitalism-hating crowd. | ||

VinceZeb | Why dont I just start a "Don't shit Day", where we don't take a shit for a day and then people sit around and wonder why we have one to begin with? | ||

The question, though, is not whether we have the right to consume, but whether we have the right to consume more than we really need to. Governments encourage the public to go out and buy 'stuff' to maintain a high GDP. Corporations are bombarding us with ads 24/7, co-opting public space with their billboards and giant megastores. We're constantly goaded to consume, and never encouraged to reflect on the impact of our collective over-consumption on our local and global environments. The ostensible purpose of Buy Nothing Day - to abstain from purchasing goods - seems silly. Any body can do that on any day. That's not the point. The fact that there are groups of people, large and small, that are voluntarily opting out of the established buyer-seller dynamic for one day will, hopefully, prompt people to look into the reasons of why there is a Buy Nothing Day and debate said reasons amongst themselves. |

AChimp | Buy Nothing Day was a huge failure. Didn't Wal-Mart post it's best ever single day sales figure on it last year? | ||

But I digress. These people are very active with acts of vandalism and a few cases of reckless endangerment (am I the only one who sees the problem with dropping $10k off a building?). And the ad with the beaten child in the vodka bottle, so very tasteful and non-exploitive. |

Protoclown | What about buying the Adbusters merchandise? Clearly, that doesn't count, does it? | ||
