While I agree with most of what you said about Adbusters, I think buy nothing day is a good idea.
It reminds you how christmas is just another consumer event. November 28 is the day of the year that stores start offering all these discounted items for holiday shopping.
And maybe Adbusters is a little extreme, but it just represents one different view in a sea of mainstream magazines.
It's no more extreme than some economic magazines. But it's extreme to the left and not the right, which makes it "weird".
Ahhhhh!.... Shit....I feel like an asshole x 87 I remember this point in the night exactly, we had just left Radio Shack from buying 100ft of TV cable, you know, so I can watch scrambled porno in my new room. When I saw Neil and Huff at these stands in front of HMV, my actually wanted to go into HMV, but I was just like "Keep walkin, keep walkin!". So in all, I was blind of James by avoiding Huff the Great, and the Portuguese Wonder. Apologies given.

Oh yeah, high fives to your parents...haha, it's funny how you were speaking of getting a digital camera last time we spoke in person. Santa came early.
I must've missed you lastnight by like literally 5-10min...I saw Bad Santa with Galli and Dorota.
the non-linear/frenetic nature of this post is brilliant
you should feel bad now, cause every subsequent post will be a let-down in comparison
i hate extremists. i've been labeled as "corporate" and a hippy for arguing the opposing sides points in a debate. i can't stand when people are ignorant to the merits of one view. i support the idea of becoming conscious of how commercialized our lives are becoming, but at the same time i spent $250 on dvds today. that's right. i refuse to feel guilty, too. while there are merits in seeing the 'big picture', i think forcing idealogies, be they left or right, down someone's throat is never condonable. of course, i have 6 beers in me right now.
