A twist on the day after Thanksgiving?
DJ forwarded this to me: It's a different take on the day after Thanksgiving. Thought you'd find it interesting or strange. Cara
International Buy Nothing Day, a day when people around the world pledge to themselves to buy absolutely nothing for 24 hours. Nov. 24, 2006. There are activities, celebrations and demonstrations of various kinds against overconsumption.

The famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) Adbuster's Magazine and the first Buy Nothing Day were both started by a man named Kalle Lasn, an advertising executive turned anticonsumerist activist.
Just thought this was intresting... enjoy!
