well folks, the hell on earth which is xmas shopping time is upon us. as such i thought artist packard jenning’s brilliant pamphlet was well worth a post (or rather xeni from boing boing thought so, since i pilfered this link from them). evidently packard disseminated this thing in his local mall. i can’t begin to imagine the responses it got from the rabid shoppers. had his pamphlet showed the shoppers destroying one another rather that the hallowed mall itself i’m sure there would have been many nods of approval. a salon article describes him as a “anti-consumerism activist”, owing to his altered billboards, walmart infiltration, fascist action figures, etc etc. though i noticed on his web site a contact link prompting “for currently available work and prices….” guess to paraphrase bill hicks, “he’s going for the anti-consumerism market. that market’s huge!” in any case the pamphlets great. check it out.
