covers. i really liked the throbbing teletubbies.
i somewhat agree with todd. to me the thing about
major threat is it will get some folks who would
ordinarily be anti-IP to get all worked up about
threat's IP. And it will put a heavily brandedstrange.
corporation in the position of being anti-IP.
anyway, yeah, the thing about culture jamming isthat
it works two ways and the "reverse" direction iscan't
usually gonna have more horsepower and effect. i
think of anything about the right wing's pr thesedays
that doesn't draw heavily from avant garde leftistthat
aesthetics of the early 20th century. and i think
was one lesson many latter 20th centurypost-leftists
were trying to impart. culture jamming for theleft
ends up being just a list of entertaininglydetourned
