Our passivity is LETTING Capitalism trample us underfoot

[I Will Deny You]

I love it, I've done a lot of that kind of thing.

I'm not positive, but I think this should go in the websites forum.

In a sense it's infiltration of the media, even if only on a small scale. It's still publicity and it can be useful for promotion of whatever your cause may be. Many of us cant afford to hold pirate radio stations or lack a local scene strong enough to hold demonstrations. But stealing advertisement from corporate giants and using it in favor of the revolution seems to me to be the next best thing.

read their manifesto, they can explain the philosophy of it much better than i can.

You can switch off/smash/shoot/hack or in other ways avoid Television, Computers and Radio. You are not compelled to buy magazines or subscribe to newspapers. You can sic your rotweiler on door to door salesman. Of all the types of media used to disseminate the Ad there is only one which is entirely inescapable to all but the bedridden shut-in or the Thoreauian misanthrope. We speak, of course of the Billboard. Along with its lesser cousins, advertising posters and "bullet" outdoor graphics, the Billboard is ubiquitous and inescapable to anyone who moves through our world. Everyone knows the Billboard; the Billboard is in everyones mind.
