Selling capitalism out of business

Via Girl who eats a lot of granola: Adbusters continues its campaign to destroy capitalism by...advertising and selling shoes:

"Yes, Blackspot Shoes is a for-profit venture — we wouldn't have it
any other way. Profits let us do what the shoe has always promised. For round one, we'll launch our TV campaign, and if any network refuses to sell us airtime, we'll haul them into court. Then, if this recycled-tire, organic-hemp Unshwoosher really takes off as a new kind of cool in the sneaker industry, we'll use every penny of profit on kick-ass social campaigns and anti-corporate marketing."
