THE BLACK SPOT



In the coming months a black spot will pop up everywhere . . . on store windows and newspaper boxes, on gas pumps and supermarket shelves. Open a magazine or newspaper - it's there. It's on TV. It stains the logos and smears the nerve centers of the world's biggest corporations.

This is the mark of the people who don't approve of President Bush's plan to control the world, who don't want countries liberated without UN backing, who can't stand any more neo-con bravado shoved down their throats.

This is the mark of the people who want the Kyoto Protocol for the environment, who want the International Criminal Court for greater justice,

who want a world where all nations, including the U.S.A., are free of weapons of mass destruction.

This seems to be a different definition of the "Black Spot" than the one I've heard elsewhere in such places as "Adbusters". This is the furst time I've heard anything about it supporting the UN for example. Perhaps this mark of protest is starting to be somewhat coopted? How do we even know this post is actually from the real originators of the "Black Spot"?

yeah. The Black Spot sounds to me like the mark of the idealogically intransigent
