Who: YOU
What: Buy Nothing Day
Where: Worldwide
When: November, 23rd 2007 - North America (International November, 24th 2007)
Why: Buy Nothing Day is an informal day of protest against consumerism observed by social activists. It was founded by Vancouver artist Ted Dave and subsequently promoted by the Canadian Adbusters magazine. The first Buy Nothing Day was organized in Vancouver in September of 1992 "as a day for society to examine the issue of over-consumption." While critics of the day charge that Buy Nothing Day simply causes participants to buy the next day. Adbusters states that it "isn't just about changing your habits for one day" but "about starting a lasting lifestyle commitment to consuming less and producing less waste."

Its Simple. Even the Dumb Kids Can Do It.

On November 23rd, 2007 do not buy a single thing. Do not eat out. Do not buy gasoline. Do not shop for gifts. Do not buy groceries. Do not buy a condom. Do not buy duplicate keys for your house. Do not buy a house. Do not buy a bottle of water. Do not buy a thumbtack. Buy nothing. Not a single thing. Absolutely nothing.

I have a dentist appointment for Friday, should I cancel it?

then buy twice as much the next day

stick it to the man!

Sounds about as intelligent as that "don't buy gas" day... I'm sure the corporations will be weeping over the low Friday sales as they're counting the record sales on Saturday.

Surely beer and hookers are exempt?

Yes. Absolutely. You cannot buy any goods or services. Fucking tooth can wait a day, can't it?

Its not about hurting the corporations. Its supposed to be so that we pigs (US citizens, primarily) think about our lifestyles of indulgence, excess, waste and piggishness and how much crap we buy that we don't fucking need and the waste created as a result of it and how we are going to try and do better.

You can always buy your beer the day before and hookers... well, if you pay for it on Thursday and have the service delivered on Friday, thats still OK.

More about reconsidering your lifestyle. Its not about hurting the corporations.

Have I mentioned that you are an idiot lately?

Damn. Then I need to cancel my golf outing :upsidedow

Have I mentioned that you give good head lately?

Back up to the top.
