Adbusters Unbrand America Against Consumerism

Adbusters is a tonic for those fed up with advertising and branding, And yet to beat consumerism they must use the tools of consumerism – bumper stickers and television commercials on CNN.

The current television campaign being prepared by Adbusters features the USA flag with stars replaced by corporate logos, swirling in the breeze to the music of Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner.

The text over:
Because my country has sold its soul to corporate power
Because consumerism has become our new religion
And because we’ve forgotten the true meaning of freedom
I pledge to do my duty and take my country back.
