Interested in fighting corporate rule? Check out Adbusters.org

They're the fabulous masterminds behind "Buy Nothing Day" and have a variety of thought provoking and interesting ways to challenge the world we live in.

Especially check out the memewarrior page if you're interested in further discussion on different topics and contributing ideas to change the defition of "beauty" (among other topics).

You Americans are lucky to have Adbusters. Since I'm from England my version of Adbusters is basically the Green Party. It's a same that they are a very small party and hardly anyone votes for them.

You know a better way to fight so-called "corporate rule"? Ditch Buy Nothing Day and buy from locally-owned mom and pop stores. Even better, buy from mom and pop stores all the time. Depriving everyone of your money isn't going to do a thing. Supporting smaller stores will. Until they're outsold by Wal-Mart, of course...
