Confluence: Inspired in equal parts by Karl Haendel's work in
McSweeney's Issue
6 and the call for grassroots activism in
AdBusters 35,
I put fifteen minutes to good use by making a simple plywood sign. Mixed
reactions as I waited for WALK at the intersection of 39th St and Fremont:
a lot of sly smiles in passing cars, a couple of thumbs-up and friendly honks,
and an equal number of people trying their best to ignore it; they were the
ones who looked like they most identified themselves with their cars. It's
sad but understandable--there's so much ADVERTISING out there conditioning
our wants. So it's fun and refreshing to
reclaim a little bit
of mental space, a few words like a germ that might take hold and
grow. |
