THE POSTERS HAVE BEEN POSTED!

Today's mission was successfully accomplished with the Guerrilla Postering of Guelph-Humber!

GUELPH-HUMBER CAMPUS, Nov. 18 - In an attempt to duplicate the actions of large media conglomerates we have given a big "FUCK YOU!" to the man. In order to show an example of how media corporations pollute public space we contaminated the walls of G.H. with posters advertising this blog.

Just as the walls of G.H. do not belong to us as a forum for our advertising, public space and the visual environment of citizens does not belong to Media corporations. The use of public space as a medium to perpetuate corporate messages is not acceptable and often times is done illegally.

The G.H. admin has NOT approved the postering attack we have launched on campus much to the likeness of how the public has not approved the messages broadcast on 50 ft billboards in public spaces. The world of outdoor advertising and the manipulation of public spaces for commercial interests is NOT in the interest of citizens.

Where do the profits from these imposing and often illegal advertisements go? Surely not to public services (which are in desperate need of funding, **(HELLO!: TTC fare hike!)** and social programs (homelessness, social housing, public/community art initiatives etc...).

So join together with "AD-ios" and stick it to the wall! Just as our posters are sure to meet unwelcome opposition on the walls of the school, outdoor advertising and the use of our public spaces for commercial interests are NOT welcome in our city. Not only are the messages unapproved by the citizens, the rightful owners of public spaces, but each time we do not open our mouths to speak out against these illegal abominations we give our consent for this type of big business to continue.
