		The Adbusters Media Foundation has its headquarters in a five-story, 100-year-old house on a mostly residential block of Vancouver, B.C., and while there's a kind of college co-op atmosphere, the place bustled with activity on a recent visit.

		Visually, the magazine also pulls off a "post collapse" feel, with images of before and after the collapse; even the relatively utilitarian paper stock contributes to the impression, as does the plain "brown paper" cover.
		And because Adbusters never includes any real adverts, there are no contemporary corporate sales pitches to shatter the illusion.
		The subject matter is fascinating: between survival tips (how to conserve resources, or how to defend oneself from assault), we're asked to consider the reality of societal collapse, how Humans as a whole might react, and how we would personally deal (or fail to deal) with it.

	Is Buy Nothing Day about Fake Bombs, Naughty Santa & Felonious Sisters?
		Adbusters’ Buy Nothing Day director Brian Highley counters, “One of the reasons that we find this campaign so interesting is that there are so many reasons for getting on board.” This strategy flies in the face of traditional branding.
		Adbusters rarely promotes media for sale that doesn’t have their logo, and when they do their mentions often omit websites or ordering information.
		Adbusters’ line extensions have become competition to, and jeopardized the finances of, the kinds of companies doing what Adbusters claims to champion, humane and ecologically respectful companies.

		He is frustrated by the mainstream media's "avoidance of the issue," he explains, and believes it is important to put the issue up for debate.
		Many who have followed the magazine say the Jewish neo-con piece is indicative of much larger changes at Adbusters, as its anti-consumerism and culture jamming mandate gives way to a focus on anti-imperialism.
