Yeah... I actually just learned about them this year. I read Kalle 
Lasn's book ("Culture Jam") and despite it's being targeted to an 
audience with a reading level much lower than mine, I rather liked it. I 
could only read the book for about fifteen minutes at a  stretch before 
I would get filled with nervous and/or creative energy. It actually 
inspired me to give up t.v. altogether.

So: Arthur Dent, huh? Not Ford Prefect or Dirk Gently or some other Doug 
Adams hero? Why Arthur?

|| BUY NOTHING DAY ||

November 23, 2001 is International Buy Nothing Day.
On the busiest shopping day of the year, the day after American 
Thanksgiving, people from over 30 countries take a break from the frenzy 
and cast their vote against the golden calf: consumerism and the global 
economy. (http://www.adbusters.org.)
