It's a go: Adbusters'
Unbrand America TV Spot is poised to hit the airwaves. We've wrangled a
30-second chunk of national airtime. More than half a million tubes, all ours.
Watch it- with everyone else tuned to CNN- Monday, September 22, around 4:30
EST.
To get this far has been serious work. For months we've been stonewalled. Sure,
we shopped our Black Spot to the usual suspects at NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. We even
tried MTV. "We don't deal in free speech," chorused the networks.
Check out all the sorry details here.
Sadly, the response was expected. In the land of the free, the business of
censorship is booming.
Well, Adbusters isn't buying in. Keep your eyes peeled over the next few months.
Plans are in the works for a big pushback. The agenda: Media Democracy.
In the coming months a black spot will pop up
everywhere . . . on store windows and newspaper boxes, on gas pumps and
supermarket shelves. Open a magazine or newspaper - it's there. It's on
TV. It stains the logos and smears the nerve centers of the world's
biggest, dirtiest
corporations.
This is the mark of the people who don't approve of Bush's plan to
control the world, who don't want countries "liberated"
without UN backing, who can't stand anymore neo-con bravado shoved down
their throats.
This is the mark of the people who want the Kyoto Protocol for the
environment, who want the International Criminal Court for greater
justice, who want a world where all nations, including the U.S.A., are
free of weapons of mass destruction, and who pledge
to take their country back.
