Culture Jam Video

This week we watched the very interesting video on Culture Jamming. I thought this video was such a good insight in to something I never knew existed. I didn't know people actually felt passionate enough about certain aspect in our cultural media enough to deface property, protest, and manipulate various situations and artifacts. I thought the girl in the video that went around literally drawing on property or changing ads in a subway was  bit of an extremist to me. She may have went a little overboard to get her point across, I felt like people may take you more seriously if you do things respectfully and not so much in a bold fashion. I felt like the billboard guys did a great job at this. They got their point across, but they cared enough to clean up their mess and clean the people who were going to find their "changes" little keepsakes behind. The Disney group of guys led by the "Reverend" was uh very interesting, for lack of better words. Watching their segment was so : | I couldn't even find words to describe how I felt. I was entertained, informed, upset, to just to name a few. I really like how they made people in the store feel different emotions. When the two lady were offended for two different reasons: one because of the actions the group was taking and one because of the fact that "Disney contributed in child labor" shows that culture jamming is sort of in the eye of the spectator. We as spectators are constantly taking in our surroundings and forming opinions and thoughts about them consciously as well as subconsciously. This video really gave me a better perspective on how to attack the manipulation  of my artifact.
