I didn't watch any of it myself but was glad to hear about the related Cacophony Society event....wherein members calling themselves "Zombies for Gore" trudged around outside the Convention Center, covered in blood and carrying entrails and signs reading "GORE." Whenever someone from the media would try and interview them, they'd simply grunt or groan, "Grrrrrrr!" Some great pictures, here: http://la.cacophony.org/zombiegore.html We'll put Stay Free! #17 up on the web one of these days. Meanwhile, in the Better Late than Never Dept. (from SF! #14 / 1998): Interview with "truth in advertising" specialist Ivan Preston http://www.stayfreemagazine.org/14/ivanpreston.html LINKS OF THE WEEK/MONTH: "Securing Profits" from Bad Subjects #48 http://eserver.org/bs/48/rentschler.html One more reason to be paranoid: the aliens that control the "home security" industry are in bed with the telecom giants.

Message-ID: If anyone knows someone who has worked in the advertising business for 40+ years, would you please help put me in touch? I am hoping to interview people about the effects books/films like _The Hucksters_, _Hidden Persuaders_, and _Subliminal Seduction_ had on the advertising industry.
