Culure jamming with halo


Culture jamming is by definition: activism which is generally in opposition to commercialism, and the vectors of corporate image. Culture jamming sometimes entails transforming mass media to produce ironic or satirical commentary about itself, using the original medium's communication method. Culture jamming to me is very fun I am going to try to do it for a blog. However here is a video that explains culture jamming quite well and also is doing it at the same time by using halo as a media. The culture jamming to me is a funny way of saying hey this is wrong, bombarding us with stuff that we cannot get around. Advertisements on the news, on my phone, at schools, even in hospitals which I was at the other weekend. How can people stand this violation of privacy? Personally it makes me angry. I can see how this is helpful for them to make money but it’s gone too far. I think the situationalists had a good idea fight the man with there own advertisements. Its like when you’re a kid and change Ford to Fix Or Repair Daily. The situationalist have the best thing going for them, funny and makes you think.
