Brandalism, anyone?

Had you ever thought a computer game could be a form of disobedience? Well, click the audio link and learn more. The article I mention cites a professor, Ian Bogost, at GIT (Georgia Institute of Technology), and a law professor, Sonia Katyal, at Fordham.

I dislike logos of any kind. I am sick of them. They feel ugly. For instance, I'd love to have combined the uppers of the NewBalance 991 shoes, the nice suede and mesh with the air sole cushioning of Reeboks. But I'd want to strip all the stupid logos. Often, the thing bought is of no more intrinsic worth than an unlogoed item. I once read that certain upper- class girls used to buy Calvin Klein jeans and use embroidery scissors to remove the stupid label running across the back pocket. Neat idea. I still have one pair of jeans from my early college days and they do have that stupid label. Luckily, the rivets have not popped off this pair, as happened to several of my other pairs.

IMAGINE that!
