Lasn On Cnn

[tclhoneyabby]

We need to slow down and stop Shopping one day a week. That day used to be on Sunday. Visit our channel as we talk about Sunday shopping!!

[missyjay88]

b-b-b-b-buy nothing??? ....that reporter clearly has no education . what was the point if the interview if she's going to dismiss everything he says.... go Team Adbusters!

[allwecaretopay]

hahah yea, her main argument was "AAAAWWGH C'MONN, CAMAAAAN"

[tompaah7503]

Wow. I hope this video gets preserved for future generations so they can see how clueless most of us today are, exemplified perfectly by the CNN chick. "Why do you want them to quit shopping?" "Wouldn't it destroy the economy?" Idiot.

[oduralucav]

He is right, she's wrong like most of the USA.

Their economy is in debt anyway, if they keep buying it put them in bigger dept.

[hakunanoma]

read "the high price of materialism"

and her "come on" whining really makes her look professional

[lizmarzec]

wow, she just embarassed herself..

[scotterits]

This interviewer sure is ignorant!Does she not see how we are being "sucked" into buying things and over consuming? Many of us go out shopping to buy things we don't even need because our whole concept is to no longer go out to buy the necessities in life, but is now going out to shop as a form of therapy.

Take iPods for example. Why is it that people want iPods so badly? It's capitalism folks and it's the companies and corporations that keep gaining more and more money off of us.

[ryanzak2]

his last statement was key- we keep buying more but our happiness is declining

the reporter is clearly very materialistic and is too scared and/or delusional to face reality and take responsibility

[somuee]

maybe your happiness is declining.

i couldn't be happier and i buy all sorts of shit.

[marstube07]

who is that interviewer? does somebody know?

cheers, m

[Justinuzumaki3]

im doind a report on him for school

[Munir5613]

stupid sedistic jewish bastrard suck my palestinian balls, this guy is full of bullshit, go to his site and youl see that hes just another swine that competes with all the other big brands for $cash$, so before anyone thinks this is a good cause use your brain even though corporate america(and this deusch) has taught you NOT TO

[SpartacusMoriarty]

You're palestinian, huh? Well then maybe if you'd read the magazine that he edits, you'd realize they publish stories favoring the palestinian plight nearly every issue.

[thejoempoem]

SpartacusMoriarity is completely right. To quote a passage, in regards to settler transgressions as a part of Israeli Society:

"They are in fact part of a decades-long, government-sanctioned policy to drive Palestinians out of their homes and into hopelessness."

Klassen, Nicholas. ADBUSTERS 13.2 #58 (2005)

That's just a taste of a much larger section devoted to the Palestine conflict.

Don't jump to conclusions about things you're unaware of. Ever.

[oduralucav]

maybe you should use your brain buddy

[danjeezy840]

That reporter is such an airhead moronic bitch

[MrEmarkable]

"Ohhh come on! It's so nice to buy fine things for our wonderful kids!"

sorry guys, but

LOL, your media is just like in The Simpsons. Poor culture...

Greetings from Germany (where it is a little better.)

[Toonylily]

The reporter was incredibly annoying, and attempted to make a fool out of Kalle Lasn.

[Thinkillhaveabeer]

man that bitch is dumb, (3:11) i hate her. Go Kalle go!

[Picsie]

she is so tipicall for our culture.

[sephoramoon]

Soledad didn't give him much of a chance. She made him seem crazy or loopy. I know his idea is somewhat far fetched...but he makes some good points though. She should have been more open-minded.

[zorro91783]

I'd say that Soledad nailed Lasn. He had no responses for her pointed retorts like, "Come on!" I can only imagine how much stronger Lasn's arguments would have been if he had worn a suit for the interview.

[iamlikeyou]

this is why nasa is going to mars.. 1 day earth will die like the rest.. then humans will move onto the next plant , and so on.. lol

[dayglowjoe]

That stupid bitch must be on commision from all the corporations that CNN makes money off of advertising for

IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY!

How terrifyingly irresponsible for the most influential news station on earth! if anything, people will buy more things now! and we will all be slaves to the corporate overlords, and then one day, the earth will be totally fucked, great!

[distantvoices]

A reporter is supposed to be neutral and report on the facts or allow the guest to give opinions-this reporter is a disgrace

[magnoid]

isn't he selling shoes now?

[gatrachel]

wow. that reporter was frustrating.

[mocata]

25% of the world's population consuming 86% of the world's resources. Incredible

[yutuyutu]

in the context of so many proliferating eco-cacotopic situations, this anchor's colgate-covered "c'mon's" instantiate the profound, myopic selfishness of our doomed race. Oh well.
