Culture jamming is alive and well
A certain behemoth of a phone company is promoting a cell phone you can use to watch TV. (Why you would want to watch TV on a screen that tiny, I don’t know, but they want you to believe it’s the next big thing.) There are billboards up around my area with the slogan "As seen on phone," as in "As seen on TV."
This morning, as the R3 train rolled toward Swarthmore, I looked out the window and saw that someone had altered one of the billboards to read "The dumbing down of America: As seen on phone."
My hat is off to you, anonymous culture-jammer, whoever you may be.
