Adbusters’ Corporate America Flag campaign proclaims:

Corporate America is revelling in a Golden Age. A shrinking number of the planet’s biggest businesses — AOL Time Warner, Shell, Nike, Microsoft, McDonald’s — are the money behind presidents, the power that drives global trade rules, the voice of authority on how we live and the way we think. Corporations have all the rights of we, the people, but thousands of times more money to make the system work for them.

We call this system “democracy.” But today it looks a lot like corporate rule.

Click the flag to read more, or to see the full-size “brands and bands” version of the “stars and stripes.” It’s art, and it’s subversive. Sometimes that’s a good combination.

Quiz for the day: how many logos can you name? I recognized 83.5% (25 of 30). If you watch television, you’ll probably recognize more than I did.

The Adbusters site offers a high-res PDF version of the image, so you can print your own. Or, order a 5'' x 3'' polyester flag, suitable for flying in the face of corporate america.
