ADVERTISING AND YOU

Regularly using ads to..

Encourage consumers in..

..A covert and subliminal

Direction in common.

Mainstream media offers..

You endless examples.

Subliminal methods successfully..

Trying to influence behavior..

Or buying habits are often..

Really more creatively used..

..In print ads or posters where..

Each individual may or may not..

..See what's there at first.

DON'T BE FOOLED.

YOU ARE IN CONTROLE!

GUERILLA ART

Following in the footsteps of Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, a new generation of international street artists is currently conquering the art market, with auction houses, collectors, and galleries demanding top prices.

This DVD features profiles of, and interviews, with key artists on the scene including Banksy, Futura 2000, Rammellzee, Os GA(c)meos, Space Invader, Barnstormers, Espo, WK Interact, Zevs, Blek Le Rat, AndrA(c), Noki, Miss Van and Eine. Graffiti-inspired street art pioneers Futura 2000, Rammellzee and Blek Le Rat discuss their own work, how street art was born out of the days of subway train graffiti, spraypainting and tagging, and how the new movement of street artists are doing things differently.

Filmed in New York, London, Paris, SAGBPo Paulo, and Tokyo, the accompanying documentary shows the artists at work: Zevs practising his Visual Kidnappings of advertising billboards; Blek Le Rat sticking up outsized stencils; Os GA(c)meos painting their lyrical, folklore inspired murals; and, Space Invader putting up his unique mosaic wall tile images.

STEAL SOMETHING DAY

STEAL SOMETHING DAY

a shameless 24-hour stealing spree!

"Because life ain't something to throw away at 7$/hour."

Participate by participating!

(Press release from http://tao.ca/~lombrenoire)

For the past eight years, a few self-described "culture jammers" from Adbusters Magazine have dubbed the last Friday in November "Buy Nothing Day."

From their stylish home base in Vancouver's upscale suburb of Kitsilano, the Adbusters' brain trust has encouraged conscientious citizens worldwide to "relish [their] power as a consumer to change the economic environment." In their words, Buy Nothing Day "proves how empowering it is to step out of the consumption stream for even a day."

The geniuses at Adbusters have managed to create the perfect feel-good, liberal, middle-class activist non-happening. A day when the more money you make, the more influence you have (like every other day). A day which, by definition, is insulting to the millions of people worldwide who are too poor or marginalized to be considered "consumers."

It's supposed to be a 24-hour moratorium on spending, but ends up being a moralistic false-debate about whether or not you should really buy that loaf of bread today or ... wait for it ... tomorrow!

Well, this year, while the Adbusters cult enjoys yet another Buy Nothing Day, accompanied by their fancy posters, stickers, TV and radio advertisements and slick webpages, a few self-described anarcho-situationists from Montreal's East End are inaugurating Steal Something Day.

Unlike Buy Nothing Day, when people are asked to "participate by not participating," Steal Something Day demands that we "participate by participating." Instead of downplaying or ignoring the capitalists, CEOs, landlords, small business tyrants, bosses, PR hacks, yuppies, media lapdogs, corporate bureaucrats, politicians and cops who are primarily responsible for misery and exploitation in this world, Steal Something Day demands that we steal from them, without discrimination. 

The Adbusters' intellegentsia tell us that they're neither "left nor right," and have proclaimed a non-ideological crusade against overconsumption. Steal Something Day, on the other hand, identifies with the historic and contemporary resistance against the causes of capitalist exploitation, not its symptoms. If you think overconsumption is scary, wait until you hear about capitalism and imperialism.

Unlike the misplaced Buy Nothing Day notion of consumer empowerment, Steal Something Day promotes empowerment by urging us to collectively identify the greedy bastards who are actually responsible for promoting misery and boredom in this world. Instead of ignoring them, Steal Something Day encourages us to make their lives as uncomfortable as possible.

As we like to say in Montreal: diranger les riches dans leurs niches!

And remember, we're talking about stealing, not theft. Stealing is just. Theft is exploitative. Stealing is when you take a yuppie's BMW for a joyride, and crash into a parked Mercedes just for the hell of it. Theft is when you take candy from a baby's mouth.

Stealing is the re-distribution of wealth from rich to poor. Theft is making profits at the expense of the disadvantaged and the natural environment. Stealing is an unwritten a tax on the rich. Theft is taxing the poor to subsidize the rich. Stealing is nothing more than a tax on the rich. There is solidarity in stealing, but property is nothing but theft.

 Get some friends together and go on a "shoplifting "spree at the local chain supermarket or upscale mall. With an even larger mob, get together and steal from the local chain book or record store. Pilfer purses and wallets from easily identified yuppies and business persons. Skip out on rent. Get a credit card under a fake name and don't pay. Keep what you can use, and give away everything else in the spirit of mutual aid that is the hallmark of Steal Something Day.

See you next Steal Something Day which, unlike Buy Nothing, happens every day of the year.
