I mean, could they be ANY fucking stupider ? they are mirroring the invasion of public space that ads do. > actually i think the loesje project achieves something of this... > everybody's seen them around, right? http://www.loesje.org/ > though their stuff is not always any more entertaining/worthy than ads. yeah these look kind of lame. I mean, on the subject of war, it's hard to be more provocative than Abbie Horrman: "If people were forced to eat what they killed, there would be no more wars." and the big "Loesje" at the bottom of each poster makes it look more like ego-tripping than any serious attempt at culture jamming. reminds me of Greenpeace, they can't even trim their toenails without unfurling yet another giant banner with that dumbass logo of theirs. I can recommend a monthly read of "Adbusters". they have it in the reading room upstairs at Lasapalatsi. since 11.9. it's been _especially_ interesting. they're sure not helping Dubya, so I guess they're helping the terrorists :-) :-) > > >"note my funky mail address, it's becoming extinct" > > > > Darn!
