Tom: Honey, we've always been fair-minded, peaceful democrats. I said those terrible things because I was scared we were moving apart in our political outlook. Sarah: But, honey, I'm losing faith in the party. I'm ready to take a stronger stance on a lot of issues, and I'm not ashamed of that. Tom: Oh my god! Is that an issue of adbusters on my coffee table?! Sarah: And I have a subscription! So there! Huey: Can I see that when you're done?
I love the way Huey always loses focus to his radical roots.
ADBUSTERS is a radical magazine that reveals the hypocrisy behind modern marketing. It espouses that advertising is 99 44/100% propaganda, and that continually lying to human beings is no way to run an economy. It is anti-corporatate and pro-human. My favorite advertiser in their pages is a company that makes a universal remote off switch for all televisions–it fits in the palm of your hand and you can turn off any annoying television wherever you are, be it in a waiting room, an airport lounge, or your favorite watering hole, giving the people around you every excuse they need to start talking to each other as human beings should, instead of worshipping the glass teat.
