When you look at this list, you'll notice that list of consumer goods and behaviors attacked are a list of consumer goods that middle-aged intellectuals dislike. Flat screen television? Bad. Internet? Good. UFC matches? Bad. Asian martial arts? Good. Mariah Carey? Bad. Classical music? Good.Maury Povich? Bad. Keith Olbermann? Good. This list is unique in that it adds a dash of eugenics with its line "this person ignores standard methods of contraception, spawning generations in his likeness and spoiling the gene pool for years to come."

I like the way the author added in personal tastes such as music (Mariah Carey) and food (hamburgers) which are utterly subjective to its 'objective' list of criteria. ----------- Obviously people who listen to crappy pop music or eat hamburgers could not possibly reach the high, earth-saving standards of Adbusters writers: who dine on organic tofu and listen only to obscure indie music. ------------------ This article is a clear reflection on the hoplessly biased and arbitrary standards which adbusters places on people who don't see the world EXACTLY as they do. It has very little to do with helping anyone or anything, as they might state. It has everything to do with being able to point fingers and claim the moral high ground: all the while never having to utilize the mental flexibility to so much as attempt to see the world from another's point of view. ------------------ A sad and pointless article this is, with no basis in reality. But it does indeed expose Adbusters as a group of people, similar to Bush-era republicans, who believe in their dogma so much that they are completely unwilling to work together to do something which might benefit us all. Even those of us who are so degenerate as to listen to *GASP* mariah carey.
