Anti-Consumerism

Clicky!

What are your thoughts on the video?

I feel it's a reflection of today's materialistic society. We're all victims of consumerism and have been subjected to the media's brainwashing. It's a fact you can't ignore.

Oh yeah, I'm BACK! I hope you guys missed me. :P

LOl, great little flash video that. It impressed me how many brands they could fit in yet still create a rhyme.

I love the song and the meaning behind it. Props to Toby Slater at http://www.tobyslater.com

Interesting video S2F. It makes one think about consumerism and how prevelent it is in our lives. The addition of a naked woman to all the pictures of products was a nice touch.....consumerism comes in many forms.

Nice to see you back.

Cute, I like it. A lot. Then again, I usually like this sort of thing. Although, I must say I prefer The Meatrix.

Hello. We haven´t met. I´m new. And I´m typing on a Mac, which is why the formatting propably looks completely horrible. I wouldn´t know. I´m on a Mac.

Hey, its good to know people with macs can actually get in here - I was just praying that the design worked on safari coz there's no way for me to know if there are any formatting errors.

Anyway, I love the meatrix video - the bit about antibiotic resistance is especially scary, and its a problem i've seen grow firsthand...

m0g, I agree with you 100%. Nowadays if you have the slighest cold everybody jumps to go see the doctor and get antibiotics. It's getting out of control.

Right now I have a little cold but I'm waiting for my body to take care of it on it's own. So far it's working, no medications involved. See? Medicines are needed for EVERYTHING.

Both were interesting videos. The meatrix was a little better in my opinion because it stated its purposes a little better.

Anyway, yeah, both of them will make you think.

Bah, Safari is a sure-fire way to completely eradictate any work I've done on that damn fruit machine... Explorer for Mac :P But now I'm on a real computer again.

Agree though, the antibiotics hysteria is, well, "da bomb" - as in more dangerous than the actual diseases.
