I'm not making this up!
quote:
Kalle Lasn, Adbusters' founder, editor-in-chief and self-proclaimed "ruler of the roost" insists that there is nothing wrong with these branding, consumption and capitalism, per se – they just need to be adjusted.

To my even greater surprise, Lasn wants to make his shoes in the developing world, in a "clean" factory in China. "We don't want to buckle under to these union people in the First World," he says.


I'm tempted to think the anti-branding "movement" has finally reached it's nadir - but I bet it can get even worse.
