Weekly transmission from Adbusters Media Foundation
 
Yep! We've been cancelled.
 
Shoppers Drug Mart doesn’t want you to read Adbusters.
 
 
Recently we were “delisted” (how’s that for Orwellian?) by Canada’s largest retailer of print magazines. All copies of Adbusters were pulled from its shelves — shelves we had paid a premium simply for the privilege of appearing on them, buried behind Vogue and Vanity Fair.
 
 
And for what? An unspecified number of complaints about issue #155, in which we published a couple of photos of cows being slaughtered and a few offending expletives.
 
 
Is this how truth-telling journalism dies — at the hands of a few outraged grannies who don’t like naughty words or knowing how their beef gets made?
 
 
Or are there other forces at work?
 
 
And then we boycott the hell out of them.
 
 
Read on to find out.
