neat clip.... im not too crazy about adbusters... "the purpose of this video is not to condem or promote, but only to raise awareness" lol yeah sure.. thye're not saying this is BAD.. they just want you to "be aware" of how many logos youre wearing... you know.. cus its a good thing to know |

i think that's the humor in it. like "smoking awareness" ads put out by benson & hedges. |

oh... well even so i dunno.. maybe its too cynical for me they hate marketing, but they advertise they're ideas the same way.. even if its a joke, i'd have a lot more respect for them, and they're ideas if they were just open and reasonable... not apealing to emotnios n shit... if actually led by example more than they do.. i know they're not exactly mcdonalds.. but still |

Anyone ever read by Paul Fussell? He called it "legible clothing". Ever since I read that book I can't bring myself to buy anything with a big-ass logo. |

"they hate marketing, but they advertise they're ideas the same way" yes, they advertise ideas, ideas they believe to be important for society to understand. not comparable to advertisement for selfish profit. i don't think anybody at nike believes their products better society. |

yeah, the new mix cd by dj spooky included in the new issue is very great indeed. adbusters is my favorite magazine followed by Wire, Grooves, Z Magazine, The Progressive and finally Zing Magazine. yeah, I agree with jupitah theyre, they only advertise theyre name so that people can learn about it so they can avoid doing what they did before. what I mean is that, essentially, your finding out about it so that you see really how bad brand names are. but then again, this magazine isnt for everyone because it is uber-leftist and vegetarian\veganism but I love all that stuff. also its laid it out in awesome design and the pictures and art along with the text is very powerful. |

that quote's been sticking with me ever since you posted that... it's so true! |

youre right but im not comparing the morality of the ideas they're selling... just that they're selling hteir ideas if they're good reasonable ideas (and a lot of them are), then they should be able to stand for themselves if presented clearly and logically, they shouldn't have to be wrapped in a pretty package cus this way lots of people pretend to be into ideas like that to be fashionable and cool and they dont know wtf they're saying but of course, all ideas are sold.. i shouldn't be complaining |

i know what you're saying, but people have to be sold. if you have an idea that you believe is important for the masses to be exposed to, you can't expect them to come to you for it. you have to get it to them, and you have to attract them. |
