Artists Fill Paris With 600 Fake Ads To Protest Corporate Sponsorship Of Climate Conference
138Kviews
Paris is grabbing the world's attention again, but this time, it's with environmental messages aimed at the world leaders, including Obama, that gathered for the COP21 climate conference on Monday. 600 fake posters denouncing major corporations were installed behind the glass at bus stops around the city by Brandalism, a UK-based project. 82 artists from 19 countries joined them to help fight corporate control in advertising.
"By sponsoring the climate talks, major polluters such as Air France and GDF-Suez-Engie can promote themselves as part of the solution - when actually they are part of the problem," Joe Elan from Brandalism said in their press release.
"Because the advertising industry force feeds our desires for products created from fossil fuels, they are intimately connected to causing climate change," Elan said. "We are taking their spaces back because we want to challenge the role advertising plays in promoting unsustainable consumerism."

Oh yes, weren't those big white bears cute? My former Member of Parliament assured me that polar bears were once brown bears and would adapt!!! Wel, he's no longer my MP and no longer the party in power so let's see if we can change this notion of, "we will adapt".
Huge fan of Bored Panda, but to say that "Paris was bombed again" isn't very cool.

The line about Paris being bombed again is seriously bad taste. People died. Change it.
Yes, you are absolutely right, this was a mistake and we have corrected it. Thank you for the feedback!
People die from climate change, corporate greed, fossil fuel extraction etc. The comparison is fair if not over-emphasizing one attack in Paris (what of the other attacks?).
Change it PLEASE. you bossy cow.
Where are your manners???
The Paris Attacks were a False Flag Hoax!
Shut up with your half-baked lies.

Absolutely, that leader jarred.
I'm glad the posters and the artist never use any products of industry. Never drive a car, or travel via an airplane.

There is No Climate Change...it's just a Con Job to Steal more Money from the Taxpayers and to increase the CorpoFascist Govt's Power!
Not true. The Earth's climate is constantly changing and will change. There was ice age for example.
At last someone with some brains. Thank you for injecting some reasonable thinking into the sheep herd.
