Adbusters!

I love Adbusters. I urged all my friends to take part in Buy Nothing Day last year. And then I was walking through an adult bookstore in another town not my own and what do you suppose I found. The Men of Providence Fire Department Calendar. It was the only copy they had. And I knew I wouldn't be back in that store. I confessed to my friends and colleagues. Boy, did they call me a hypocrite.

Namo, are you a Rhode Islander?

Namo, your predicament brings to mind a certain infamous Adbusters spoof.
At least it was a noble cause, right?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea and am a disciple! As a former retail buyer (for an undisclosed retailer with a famous NY Avenue in its moniker) I never enjoyed a holiday because I ALWAYS had to be at work on Black Friday and the day after Christmas and New Years. Fifteen years of SUCKINESS! Since leaving that industry I have never and will never step foot in any retail establishment on those days! Power to the people!

I'm not a Rhode Islander, but I was visiting.

Good. Terrible stuff, Rhode Island (I say from my mother's home in Cumberland).
