Yeah, it's pretty sucky when the marketing people take advantage of ANYTHING to boost sales: holidays, global warming, to name 2(although the latter is kinda nice, kinda because global warming to marketing = terror-driven sales).

"if people learn how to buy only what they need instead of superfluous stuff, it will be a big lesson."

Heh, I think it's a nice initiative but the world is already perfect in its own way, no need, no can change much.

Emailed the MTV people(as ADBUSTERS commanded me to lol). That channel broadcasts brain-corroding-content at a huge rate I'd blow it to smithereens but this'll be enough, for now, along with the usual mtv-badmouthing.

Happy b-day and can I buy me a lunch if I happen to need one when I go out today? , just wondering since it's BNDay et all. :D
