WALMART TAKEDOWN Walmart's dirty deeds are in the spotlight like never before and it's time to make them pay. Check out the Walmart Takedown section to get tips on organizing a Whirl-Mart, jamming their shopping carts, or getting a group of jammers together to watch "WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price." http://www.adbusters.org

This is it people. Are you ready for one of the biggest celebrations in Buy Nothing Day history?
If you're reading this message you're not alone. 85,000 people from 60 countries have signed up online and the BND website has been white hot - with more than 20,000 visitors a day. http://www.adbusters.org/bnd
For millions BND is a chance to take the plunge and find out what it feels like to go consumerism cold turkey. Jammers take the message even further. In the US, the Wal-Mart takedown has become a huge focus, with 24-hour marathon screenings of The High Cost of Low Price and pranks planned from Wisconsin to Alaska. Elsewhere, the Codepink Women of Pittsburg will be handing out big pink price tags and students from Grassroots Activism will dish up wholesome free samples of nothing.
In Toronto, the circus is coming to town, with Kapitalist Klowns, street parties and Santa zombie walks. In Ireland, Galway jammers will unleash street theatre, a film fest, art installations, and a barter fair. In Berlin, shopping police will hand out "fines". Japanese jammers in Nagano are planning a BND student workshop, and in the UK, the Radical Cheerleaders and the Nexus Chainstore Massacre have their sights set on London's shopping Mecca, Oxford Street. Check all this out at the BND hub: http://www.adbusters.org
So, we know what you're not doing on BND - but what will you do? Send your pics, film clips, stories, highlights and personal epiphanies to Brian for a Best of BND spot online and in the magazine.
