This was an advertisement that MTV pulled for buy nothing day on November 23. I think its time we realize we buy and waste more things in this country than any other country by far and this will raise awareness to the epidemic

Did it play during a commercial break of “The Hills?”

Feeling strange now… must go and buy U2 cd…

::slight_smile:

Buy nothing for just one day? Hell, that’s easy! I go weeks without buying anything cause I am a poor white trash Ohio boy :wink:

Yeah, very good! That same old anti-consumerist nonsense. I’m all for reducing waste etc, but this whole scheme totally misses the point. What we don’t buy today, inevitably we will buy tomorrow.

And on the other side of the coin - are they promoting, “sell-nothing” day? A car salesman gets the sack because he didn’t shift any motors? A corner store closes down because they sold nothing. A market trader brings home no cash and can’t feed his family. Great little movie that would be.

Speaking of wasteful people, my mom threw away my $80 New Balances. I put them in a bag in the backyard because they had some shit on them I didn’t have time to clean off, and she threw them away!!! like, took them to the dumpster days ago kind of throw away. I go off to Echo Project teaching people about reducing waste and being conscious, and my own family is too damn set in their ways to listen to me. FUCK! I’m pissed. I just realized what she did like 30 minutes ago. I saved those shoes all summer to wear this winter, and POOF gone. They throw away everything!! ARGGGHHHH!!

I bought stuff. You couldn’t beat some of those f’n sales!

I bought nothing!

What do I win?

I bought some things too… do I die now?

there’s no amount of money or horny virgins you could give me to persuade me enough to enter a retail outlet of any kind on Black Friday. fuck. that.

internet shopping is the wave of the present!

i haven’t spent any money in a few days now

and the last thing i bought was heady beer

extra bonus points

What about horny porn starlets?

Screw you commie!

Some think that becoming socialist or communist will solve all our problems… pffft! The virtues of a free market cause people to think for themselves to get ahead.

Some think that technology will advance to save the day… might help.

I say live frugally, be thankful for what you have, learn to care for yourself… ya know… grow your own y’all. Carpool if you can.

SHIT. I just gave myself an idea… there is a girl I work with who just moved close to me. I can carpool with her… excellent idea Smithers!
