Adbusters: Being brilliant since 1996
Friends, what amuses me most about the debate over Occupy Wall Street is how many people have come out to attack the movement because they mistakenly feel that they are in the top 1%.
There are two problems with this. The first is that the top 1% of American money-makers are far more wealthy than most realise.
The second is that the real problem isn’t the top 1%, it’s the top one hundredth of 1%, and they have more money than god.
I have no idea what this is about, but it makes me lol.
Well, here we are again.
I have already spoken at length about how Internet freedom is being slowly eroded and how we badly need Net Neutrality laws to protect it.
But the Republican-controlled House of Representatives has just voted to block Net Neutrality and not only is this a very bad thing but the Pro-Control lobby is using the same flawed logic as before.
And also because, if it works, it will be totally awesome.
I advise you all to get a copy of the November 2010 issue of Playboy, and not just because lovely UFC ring-girl Arianny Celeste gets her kit off on page 80.
No. The real reason you should get this sterling publication is because it contains an explanation of how ordinary consumers could band together and destroy one of America’s 4 largest investment banks (Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citibank).
The best part about it is: it could actually work. And would work just as well, in almost any country in the world.
