if you read the post you would have seen that i was saying how futile it is to try to "thwart" anything as powerful and ingrained as an american corporation. fucking off at a focus group thwarts nothing whatsoever, i just get $100 to sit on my ass and have some fun at their expense. barely makes a dent but $100 means a helluva lot more to me than it does chevy or budweiser. or even the ad agency that made the commercial. i'm just having fun and making some money off these swine :)

i wouldn't go so far as to characterize myself as anti-corporate. i eat at mcdonalds, drive a GM car, buy apple computers, shop at ikea, watch a fuck of a lot of television, buy newsweek, go to major motion pictures, use electricity, buy gasoline, use toilet paper, use a telephone, surf the internet, drink american beer, buy top 40 records ... anybody who does any of the above on a regular basis and claims to be "fighting the system" is full of shit. which is exactly my point. anti-corporate people cannot legitimately expect to stomp out the corporate system because by living in america they are de facto cogs in the system they are trying to "bring down." josh -- -- String Theory -- http://www.enteract.com/~yoshi/index.cgi -- String Theory's Anhedonia CD/LP available at finer music stores worldwide --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
