Anyone here read Adbusters?
Thoughts? Opinions?

Personally I think they have the dope on how to protest effectively in a post 9/11 world...

2. Great Magazine
Very sophisticated exploration of how marketing shapes mass consciousness.

I say, it's wise to get wise on how this is done.

3. Do you have any recommendations regarding Absinthe?
Where I could order it on-line. A brand that includes wormwood and follows the older techniques of formulation. I started looking recently and got a little lost.

9. it's getting a little inaccessible...
And the typesetting is a little distracting. Still good fun, though.

I have run into Kalle Lasne (publisher) a few times--When we lived in Vancouver, we were just a couple of blocks from his home, a.k.a The Media Foundation, a.k.a Adbusters office.
