Culture Jamming for BLACK THIS OUT 10/19/11
Culture jamming is a form of disruption that plays on the emotions of viewers and bystanders. Jammers want to disrupt the unconscious thought process that takes place when most consumers view a popular advertising and bring about a détournement.[11] Activists that utilize this tactic are counting on their meme to pull on the emotional strings of people and evoke some type of reaction. The reactions that most cultural jammers are hoping to evoke are behavioral change and political action.

All great work!
IMPORTANT ACTION ITEM: All facebook events that have less than 5,000 guests can send a mass message out to attendees.
My experience is that even older events work for this…as long as it isn’t super old.
Send out the info on Black This Out complete with appropriate links–at this point, directly to the official site.
details:
To message the event guest list, go to the event’s main page and click “Message All Guests” beneath the event photo. You will be able to send a message to all guests, or to different groups of guests based on RSVP status.
Please note that you can only message all guests if the total number of guests who are attending, maybe attending, or who have not yet replied does not exceed 5,000. Also, if an event is hosted by a Page, the Page admin will not see the option to send a message to event guests.
