Things I Love Friday - Adbusters

Hello, this is a new feature on TCoMLfY. Each week I'm going to talk about something that I really love, or is an important part of my life.

First up is Adbusters - a magazine based in Canada. It writes about things like consumption and advertising, and the detrimental effects they have on our minds and environment. All sorts of topics are covered, and every issue has articles and art which are inspiring/enlightening/disturbing/profound. It is the only magazine I can really bare to read - almost everything else seems dead and devoid of content.
I started reading Adbusters in 2003. It was my first year out of high-school, and I liked reading the journals at Massey University. Realistically, the magazine changed my life in a very short amount of time. I was in the right frame of mind for a paradigm shift, and I began to look at how I interacted with people around me, the media, the environment, my self.
I'd highly recommend you try and find some copies. Borders sell it, and most libraries (public and university) seem to have a good collection
