What does the organisation Adbusters do?
Adbusters Media Foundation is a non – profitable, anti – consumerist organization, founded in 1989. Their organization claims to be a global network of “artists, activists and pranksters” who want to “advance the new social activist movement of the information age”. They are devoted to many political and social causes of which are anti-consumerist.
How do they feel about the advertising industry and modern society in general? Adbusters feel that modern society is all about consumerism and consumers are doing whatever they are being told. They feel that because the advertising which is being shown everywhere it is making people just go out and buy things for the sake of it and not actually because they need it.
