I'm all for boycotting Coke, but less of the abuse!! Isn't this just doing the same thing as Killer Coke??

Ballion,
You fool you only drink diet coke for the sake of your teeth. Diet coke might have less sugar and therefore calories but as any dentist will tell you it is the phosphoric acid of soft drinks (coke or otherwise) that does a lot of the damage. Diet Coke also has this substance and therefore your teeth are on the way out.

Good bye gummy.

haha, this is the funniest thing i have ever read. This fine free thinking person who rushes out to buy excessive quantities of a toxic beverage every time he sees a mind control advertisment.
Brilliant. whatever you do, don't ever watch the home shopping network, your credit card will never forgive you

....about a can a day (probably a case of twelve a week between me and the missus). I pass there rarely enough (thrice in two days is an abberation).

Not a moron... just able to think for myself.

I like the taste, and have decided that my response to the (somewhat) justified but grossly hysterical anti-coke campaign is to resist the boycott positively.

Yum yum.

PS I only drink the diet variety for the sake of my teeth.

If you keep it up at a case or so a day, I give you a week to live. Another great victory for the DBLF - one less moron in the world!

...so every time I see one of these billboards I'm going to by a case (yes a case) of Diet Coke.

I drove past this one yesterday twice and now am enjoying a plentiful supply of a cheap, Irish made, refreshing and stimulating beverage.

Yum yum.

I'll be driving past it again later today on my way to Churchtown, and if the adbust is still there it's another case of DC for me!

However I feel that it's important to point out that this sort of elitist direct action actually turns the average person in society off the idea of subvertising billboards.

Can I interest anyone in campaigning for a mass subvertisement movement which will being by appeals to the trade-union base within the billboard erection and maintenance industry?

COMMUNIQUE ONE FROM CONTINUITY BLF.

We in the continuity Billboard Liberation Front reject the scandalous allegations made by our former comrades above. Such allegatations should not be made on the internet where the prying eyes of the state, the Mistorans, the 24 civilisations and their collobarators in the corporate power block can see disunity in our movement. Seeing as they have been made, we feel obliged to reply.

The dispute has a long and nefarious history within the movement. After we took the decision to go undeground in preparation for waging struggle against the colonizing force of advertsiements in our communities and neighbourhoods, a small sect within the movement began to operate as a faction contrary to all the principles of individualism which we in the movement uphold.

As usual these philosophical meanderings became clear in the course of struggle as tactical differences emerged.

The adbusters collective rejected the doctrine of individual action against bill board in favour of collective moves against corporatism.

We in the Continuity BLF hold true to the tactical tradtions of our movement. We reject the inevitable hierarchy that will emerge from collective action against the colonising force. To their slogans of 'share the crayons and markers', we intervened with 'DOWN WITH INDIVIDUAL MONOPOLISATION OF THE CRAYONS, UP WITH THE SOCIALISATION OF MARKERS IN THE HANDS OF INDIVIDUALS.'

We in the C-BLF recognise the FAKE LEFTIST BOURGEOISE philosophising of our former comrades who believe that they can simply avoid confrontation with the state, by some how circumnavigating it and sharing markers, with out first having soviets across the land. There can be no socialisation and sharing of markers untill there is a wider socialist revolution which can only be brought about by a true LENINIST VANGUARD PARTY, the nucelus of which we aim to build.

Our experiences with this so called adbuster grupsucle is a testament to this fact.

On one mission these splitters demanded that we all share responsihbilty for the action; carrying the paints, paste and so on.

We reject this monopolisation of the means of producing subvertisements. We opt instead for modes of operation which safe guard the soverignty of the individual. In future Contintuity BLF actions, each of our members shall be equiped with the adequate supplies to carry out the outrage without the assistance of others. They shall then line up and fling themselves in to action against at the target site. While the others pretend to wait for buses.

One of them will be bound to get it right.

DOWN WITH FAKE LEFTIST ADBUSTERS! UP WITH THE ANTI CORPORATE STRUGLE!

NO OPPORTUNISTIC USE OF MARKERS ON THE 48A!

WE SAY WHEAT PASTE OVER SELLOTAPE AND WALLPAPER PASTE!!

I can't believe that the Dundrum Billboard Liberation Front has taken credit for the hardwork of the Dundrum Adbust Collective! Yet again they try and split the movement!

Good work, lets see more of it everywhere and not just in Dundrum.
