I did not find Adbusters interesting and did not find anything that interested me on this website and thought that it was rather lame. Adbusters is a non profit organization which is aimed to change our thinking about the world that we live in today. I did not learn anything from this website either and do not want to go back there. I have nothing against the website but it did not interest me.

To me adbusters is a website that help growing industries spread their name and why we should care about them. On the website they mention a new shoe company called black spot and this shoe company makes there shoes out of recyclable stuff like tires,hemp,and vegan leather and this to me was very interesting that they managed to make shoes out of recyclable things.

Adbusters is a web site dedicated to examining the relationship between human beings and their physical and mental environment. It's also a global network where artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators or anyone can participate. I think the quotes I read seemed interesting to me.
"It is within the power of writers and writers and artists to do much more; to defeat the lie!."
"We're are running an uncontrolled experiment on the only home we have."
There wasn't any post which seemed interesting to me.

Adbusters is a website that posts things about how economy is bad and how life has changed over the years with all of this technology. One ad that interested me was that there was a day called "Buy Nothing Day". This day is when nobody buys anything from anywere

Adbusters is a not-for-profit, anti-capitalism and anti-consumerist organization. They are self proclaimed as "a global network of culture jammers and creatives". I was not interested in anything i saw and felt what they are trying to achieve is unrealistic. A no shopping day? That is NOT going to work. We don't need a revolution. There was a video of a French mad discussing how to have a revolution without guns or violence. This would happen if everyone when to their bank and withdrew all of their money. That is a terrible idea. Terrible. It happened in the 1900's which is part of the reason we had the Great Depression. I don't like what they are trying because to me I feel it un-American. I defend their right to say what they want but I don't approve of it and would prefer they went away.

Adbusters is a great organization for people to get their ideas and thoughts across in a way they never could before. This could lead to world wide change for nations just because of one act of a writer or activist. What this organization is trying to do is topple other power structures existing today in order to create major change in the world. An example would be, while I was reading a blog on the "Flaw of Goggle", where people are thinking that Goggle is an unfair "search neutrality". That means that Google is avoiding giving textual information so that their uses when still be using site. If you really think about it could this be true?

Adbusters is a non-profit web site, magazine, and organization which stresses anti-consumerism and rebellion. Many their posts are about the the removal of capitalism and consumerism. One interesting video i saw was an instruction guide for removing ads from telephone boxes in New York City. Another interesting campaign that they made was the buy nothing campaign, which told readers to reject the traditional holiday shopping spree.

Abusters is a website that promotes many ads that people might find interesting. The purpose of this organization is to educate people about the importance of ads and propaganda. I saw a video of a French man that was talking about how the banks had to much power and the people that work for the banks weren't paying attention to the customers. The plan of the French people is to withdraw all of their money on the 7th December 2010.

Adbusters is an non-profit organization dedicated to changing the way our economy affects the environment. It is a global network of ordinary people trying to change the way we live now and how we will live in the future. It works towards getting the economy and the environment to work in harmony. One thing that I found interesting was that they organized a "buy nothing day" on the same day as black friday, which is the day after Thanksgiving where stores have tons of sales and people everywhere do a lot of their holiday shopping.
