the politic of adbusters

Written: Jul 08 '00

Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0
Pros: art, right on editorial content

Cons: satiric ads are lost on most people because a short attention span elicits only name brand recognition--most can backfire by being too subtle.
herbs's Full Review: Adbusters Magazine
The category used to describe Adbusters, environment, is totally inadequate to describe this publication. It breathes much more for the discerning mind. It is at once a populist, decentralist, politically active document. Its art direction is more professional than the Corporate ads which Adbusters satirizes. Its colored simplicity is eye candy. This is one of only two publications to which this reviewer subscribes. (The other is Harper's.)

The single most important perspective it brings its readers surrounds the idea of personal psychological environs being brutally assaulted by constant barrage in-your-face marketing. This is especially poignant as they pose the question of commercial media effects on our children.

Lon Ball, age 54
