The point in doing that???

You just get in the way of actual coustomers and cause them to spend more time shopping!

Its not like you are impacting the profits of the company that much either!

Try find a real way to protest against them instead of wasting time!

First my friend attempt please to spell customers correctly.

Second what you are proposing makes it very difficult to create awareness. We are not able to educate people without interacting with them.

Third as the video demonstrates consumers all to often behave like zombies in the stores that they frequent.

[ecogreenfirefly]

Fourth this is not a protest per se as you will see above this is an awareness creation mechanism not unlike a protest but different all the same.

Fifth while we all appreciate your input I would encourage you to be constructive in your criticism, perhaps you can help people of interest out in the world with helpful means of connecting with zombie consumers.

Thanks

have you actually participated in a whirl-mart before? I am trying to get one together for Buy Nothing Day, any advice?

[ecogreenfirefly]

simple you need a few people (as many as tweleve would be good) find some empty shopping carts and walk around the whirl-mart, singing always helps and keep it positive in a way that engages people

by the way, if security asks, just tell them you're all still looking for something worth buying.

GreenEggs..."Anti-consumption is still a form of consumption.."

Take a tip from the Green Party and buy local, avoid the chain stores that suck out the community's dollars...

@Fodmaster

What is the point in revolt if it is not funny and sarcastic? If they can take your sense of humor, there is little motivation to do anything at all

[unseenxxx]

Nice shit quality vid. I can see you are a true anti-consumerist. Low quality Bare minimum.

[daoistfromebay]

When do you eat? What do you wear? Did you all walk to this place, or burn fossil fuel to get there? We are in N. Am. Not much hunting, skinning, foraging going on here. Either give us the total solution, or nothing. this is my fifth and final video that I've watched, and things keep getting more absurd. Yes, I'm a soft underbellied N. American, all my human parts atrophied to the hilt. I was born into this. Just point me to the WHOLE answer.

What WalMart does to American communities and to their overseas workers is incredibly sick and evil; check out the documentary Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price.
