Adbusters

Adbusters is an interesting organization that focuses on the flaws of multi-million dollar corporations that appear in the media because of the way they run their company. For example, Calvin Klein, several years ago released images that are a little racy and demonstrate that media as being a beast when it comes to women all over the world. Adbusters is a good way of demonstrating the many ways that the media can scare the public into thinking a specific concept. Adbusters uses those ads released by companies like McDonalds, and Tommy Hilfiger and morphs their ads to look like something else. Another example, similar to Calvin Klein, is the Absolute ads released by add busters that are located below. Using these ads they can influence the public that not everything these multi-million dollar corporations are true.

The below is another image created by Adbusters that critisizes Calvin Klein
