slogans automatically. |

Create a social movement whose ultimate goal it
will be to manifest, through the power of popular will, genital warts on
George W. Bush. The would-be president will be infected with this
unpleasant condition through mass mailings, a web site, and the creation
of art depicting Bush with the condition. In this age of plutocracy our
aim is to point out the uselessness of the voting booth in actualizing
real, material changes, and to explore new possibilities for democracy.

Plant enticing pornographic videotapes in porn stores
everywhere, with models such as (a super-well-hung) Ronald MacDonald, (a
dementedly horny) Barbie, etc.--in other words, any trademark character
which depends on its assumed virtue. |

Devise coupon stickers for free packs of
cigarettes and glue them onto boxes of children's cereal (and other
products) manufactured by tobacco companies. Do this in such a way as to
obtain wide coverage in the media for the fact that some tobacco companies
are also trying to sell to children noxious or unhealthy products other
than cigarettes. |

Produce a documentary linking the increasingly harsh realities
of the American workplace and economy to the rise in mental illness within
the American population. Perhaps compare with European rates; perhaps also
discuss 'official' corporate solutions--Prozac etc.--within this context.
Film must be scheduled as part of a major regional film festival. |

Create a new map or globe of the world that
shows multinational corporate borders, vectors and free trade zones
instead of national boundaries. Map must make it into a grade-school
geography textbook, or globes must be sent to several elementary schools
nation-wide; either event must be reported upon extensively in the
mainstream press. |

Get a famous sportswear manufacturer (or any other large
corporation) to agree, on broadcast or other public media, to sponsor the
high-quality education, health care, etc. of a U.S. baby who would
otherwise not have access to same--in exchange for having the baby
tattooed with the company's logo in the womb or at birth. |

to alter ordinary supermarket greeting card
displays to reflect concerns that are never reflected in such displays
(e.g. the virtues of eating free-range pork meat, the marriage of one's
non-native boyfriend, or the execution of one's soulmate). Amount offered
will depend upon specific project. (Cards may also simply be added to
displays rather than altered in manufacturing.) |

Using any hamburger fast food chain's cartoon characters,
create a small booklet or sheet explaining with bright smiling faces, with
graphic photos, and in vivid detail, how cows are drugged, abused, and
slaughtered to make hamburgers. Add it to the food bag or, better, in the
special toy package. If necessary, stage angry parent reactions so that
the media covers the story. |
