2003sep03. Adbusters sneaker. You amuse me, you little turncoat magazine. These two comments by Adbusters honcho Kalle Lasn just don’t add up:
“We’re negotiating with some people in China, we’re looking at Indonesia, and we’re looking at doing it right here in North America,” Mr. Lasn said, adding that “the sweatshop rhetoric has gone a little bit too far.”So you’re going to produce shoes “right here” in North America, but not locally? What? It’s subversive. It’s brash. It’s radical self-expression. It’s bullshit. [via new jack almanac]“We’re going to make sure this is not a sweatshop,” Mr. Lasn said. “I think a lot of this ‘let’s do it locally’ is just a lot of trade union, old left talk.”
