This is a great piece by Kalle Lasn on the history of our great nation, and the problem that is killing it before our eyes. Worth the time, check it out:

Wow! I mean, Wow!

I'm sending the Kalle Lasn piece to folks I usually can't send things to because they won't understand. I think they might 'get' this.

Unbrand America: I'm buying a bunch of black pens tomorrow. (I'd call them Sharpies, but that might be too 'brand-y.') I'll practice making dots during breaks and lunch in my cubicle. <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/wink.gif" width=15 height=15>

That's a very interesting piece. At the bottom it states it's part of a book that maybe some have read, but I guess we all should have, when it came out. I think I'm going to pick it up.

Pat, it's a fun read. As is Adbusters magazine, of which Lasn is the Editor.
adbusters.org

Wyld, thanks for the reminder about the black dot day. I'm gonna be coloring a few myself.

I love the way history always leaves out how the redman got taken for a ride. I always wanted to write a book (time warp for a plot) where the Indians had more sophistocated weapons than whitey!!! Wouldn't it be cool to see Lou Diamond or Robbie Robertson find AK 47's and blow the shit out of Kevin Costner and Marky Mark. How cewl would that be????

I could re-write Custers Last Stand, but it would be much more blood lusty, seeing the Indians using UZY's and AK's. The surprize element alone would be a great scene...

Stanley Kubrick culd of directed this thriller. Or better yet 'Rod Seirling'???

just a thought <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/privateeyes.gif" width=15 height=15>
