So today is "Buy Nothing

Posted November 23, 2001 3:13 PM.

So today is "Buy Nothing Day" - the third such event that I've been weblogging during. This year it has quite a stunning 'uncommercial' associated with it: Buy Nothing Day. I'm definitely pro-Buy Nothing Day - I've been a supporter of No Logo-style politics (to a large extent) for a substantial period of time now. Interestingly though it didn't stop me last year, when I reported that the purchasing of a DVD player on such a day simply increased the terrible thrill of purchasing - that addictive high was all the more satisfying because it was illicit.
