Photographic Tampering
http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/farid/research/digitaltampering/
Photography lost its innocence many years ago. In as early as the
1930s, shortly after the first commercially available camera was
introduced, Stalin had his enemies "air-brushed" out of photographs.
With the advent of high-resolution digital cameras, powerful personal
computers and sophisticated photo-editing software, the manipulation
of digital images is becoming more common. Here, I have collected some
examples of digital tampering in the media, politics, and the law.

Buy Nothing Day
http://adbusters.org/metas/eco/bnd/
A 24 hour moratorium on consumer spending - participate by not participating.
Action update: MTV, the channel that markets itself to hip youth, has decreed
that our Buy Nothing Day public service spot "goes further than we are
willing to accept on our channels". Gangsta rap and sexualized, semi-naked
school girls are okay, but apparently not a burping pig talking about
consumption.
