BUY NOTHING DAY!!!! this year NOV 26.

Can you resist the impulse to buy something, ANYTHING, for an entire day?? CAN YOU??? Ever tried, in our 'modern', 'civilized', 'highly-evolved' culture where everything from clothing and housing to food, coffee, water and personal relationships are converted into commodities: try to purchase nothing for ONE DAY. Recently, Wal-Mart made a Billion dollars in profits on Boxing Day, the highest spending day of the year in North America.

Do you really think this kind of consumption can go on unabated? Not likely. AdBusters has been trying to purchase air-time to present their alternate views to continually escalating consumption, and was this year turned down by MTV because their ad was telling people to not buy anything: how communist, or anarchist, or psychotic, or something bad, fill in the blank for yourself and MTV.
