nucking futz i say...

The other night shortly after getting home from the midterm, my girlfriend came over distraught and frustrated over an advertisement she had seen in the lrt station. Apparently, Pro-Life Edmonton has huge posters up across the traintracks at university station. I suppose it makes sense beings funding is still being given generously to the christian religious right, but still, it prompted a conversation about action regarding this issue. I looked online and was unsuccessful at finding a Pro-Choice coalition in edmonton, but I very well may have not been looking hard enough. We racked our brains thinking of some way to refunction this irritating poster, in order to at least let it be known to those who are unaware that there is indeed opposition to this movement (it never occurred to me that that may be an issue, but at dinner the other night I brought up the posters and someone at the table said, "Pro-Life...what the hell is that?? I'M SO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE???"...I was like, umm no it's actually about abortion...). And this was not a person who I consider to be uneducated or unaware at all; needless to say I was shocked. Anyways, I have been schemeing in my head about a stealthy culture jamming adventure that may need to take place...I suppose it isn't the most genius thing for me to announce my criminal aspirations in such a public space, but i'm just so pissed off. It feels like we are regressing, and it depresses me that I'm not clever/ambitious enough to really do anything about it. I don't think I am artistic enough to politicize aesthetics really...my immeditate solution was to spray paint 'are you fucking kidding me?' beside the poster, but I would prefer my act of refunctioning to be slightly more intellectual and more appreciated than something a 12 year old punk could do when drunk for the first time. Plus, how would I get across the tracks? I don't have a death wish. Haha. So...if anyone has any input on this issue it would be awesome to hear it, even if it's just sharing a moment of frustration. That is my rant. Enjoy.
