Adbusters (Culture Jammers) is an interesting organisation worth taking a look at. It's a branch of the anti-globalisation movement who are particularly annoyed by advertising and branding, and take action over it - a sort of Naomi Klein Red Brigade. Some of the ideas are great. Some of the thinking woolly. Typical of the output is here where the subject is Media Environmentalism, a phrase I especially like as it is close to what Distraction Culture is about - but then it's partially spoiled with a "they are trying to manipulate us" approach - personally I just don't subscribe to conspiracy theories like this. The truth we face is caused by all our actions, not just a few wicked and manipulative companies.
I agree with you, I am more in affinity with the ideas and thinking developped by The Ecologist.
adbusters have a narrow approach, which does not serve right some very good ideas they have.
Besides they do not really analyze, suggest any new model or point out good practices. I believe it is possible to sell, communicate, AND aim at a better world.
