So what should I do when someone tries to buy an Adbusters magazine from my multinational corporate retail outlet tomorrow?

;)

[rive_gauche]

hmm, i would say, if you were really into adbusters, you wouldnt be buying shit today fool!
and tell him to come back tomorrow, or really be smart and just get a subscription

[you cant outsmart this one!;)]

More importantly, how can Adbusters claim to be anti-comsumerism and anti corporations when they are themselves a consumer product that can be purchased at a corporate retail outlet (a retail outlet that i might add is having union issues).

I emailed them once about that and never got a responce.

Heh, I'm not trying to sound like a huge ass :)

While I do not agree with that magazine 100% i enjoy it, but find it odd that they can overlook thier principles when it suits them financially.

[rive_gauche]

thats true, but wouldnt you agree with maybe the reason they use retail chain outlets because it gets to a wider mass?
hey questioning isnt sounding like an ass dude, it helps keep people on their toes

this consumption thing is pretty easy

i don't see why all the grief about what is & isn't "corporate" or "consumption" or whatever....
if you really need it & can't figure out how to get along without it, get it - otherwise screw it - you don't need it whatever it is. if you just get it for "entertainment" well, welcome to consumer-land where people consume for entertainment - cats do that, & cows - not such a weird thing
