On the night of march 7th Splatters once again targetted billboards in Montreal.
This time a number of advertising billboards in the NDG area were hit with paintbombs.

As anyone can see, there are thousands of garish advertisements infesting the city, insulting our intelligence and promoting a destructive lifestyle of endless consumption that benefits nobody but capitalist interests.

In this tense period of impending war against the people of Iraq, we want to remind everyone of what the root motivations of the war is all about. Western agression against Iraq is nothing other than an effort to take control of material resources in order to continue the over-consumption and gluttony of the industrialised nations. This is the reason that hundreds of thousands will soon die in the middle east. This is the reason we need to seriously question the unjust and murderous principles that our economy is based upon. While Iraqi men women and children die in a computer-controlled blitzkrieg, lets take a moment to remember that it is because of our useless, petty materialism that they are being slaughtered.

SPLAT pledges continue its campaign against advertising and against the consumerist culturation that seeks to turn us into mindless participants of the capitalist system.
