Adbusters

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Adbusters Media Foundation is a not-for-profit, anti-consumerist organization founded in 1989 by Kalle Lasn and Bill Schmalz in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The foundation describes itself as "a global network of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age." The foundation publishes the reader-supported Adbusters, an activist magazine with a circulation of 120,000 devoted to numerous political and social causes, many of which are anti-consumerist in nature. Adbusters has also launched numerous international social marketing campaigns, including Buy Nothing Day and TV Turnoff Week, and is known for their "subvertisements" that spoof popular advertisements. The use of powerful images in many ""Adbusters"" issues renders the magazine unsuitable for young or otherwise vulnerable audiences.
