MTV Refuses To Air *Buy Nothing Day* Ad Posted by Pile (8640 views) [E-Mail link]

[ Activists ] Adbusters, in order to call attention to rampant consumerism, has been promoting the idea of "Buy Nothing Day" on November 23rd. They wanted to run their advertisement on MTV but the network refused! See the controversial ad MTV was too chicksh*t to run, and consider not being a consumer sheep on November 23.

From Adbusters:



MTV, the channel that markets itself to hip youth, has decreed that our Buy Nothing Day public service spot "goes further than we are willing to accept on our channels". Gangsta rap and sexualized, semi-naked school girls are okay, but apparently not a burping pig talking about consumption. If you object to this sort of corporate censorship, why not send them a message now?









When



North America: 23rd November, 2007 International: 24th November, 2007



Despite a recent, high-profile UN warning that human-created climate change is "unequivocal" and may bring about "abrupt and irreversible" environmental problems, MTV Networks in the United States has refused to sell airtime for commercials promoting a major international eco-friendly event.



Send MTV a message!

Use your head and think what you would do to keep an enemy off guard,distract them with wars and fear of soon to come calamity"global warming"hurricanes,floods.All reasons to gouge and destroy our economy?What did we learn from the pirates at Enron?

A war in Iraq is robbing our future and killing Americans.Is it possible that we could use our money as a weapon to put another energy pirate out of business and show the leaders of gouging we will take them out one by one until they give us fair prices ,alternative fuels.and services that do not destroy natural resources. By the way who s paying for the war our enemies are fighting? Where does all the money come from to kill and mame our soldiers.Who s going to pay us back for the investment we have made in the middle east. Are we being distracted by those who are building there bankrolls.I read the stock exchange and in this country EXXMO is my first pick. Wake up stop being distracted by the BS !! The money in your pocket is your weapon to bring change and peace.Start today Dont use your money at companies that lead the pack in gouging.think before you use your weapon.Lets put the pirates out with Enron.
