16 Billboards "Liberated" in Seattle on the night of September 9th, 2002.

On the night of September 9th, 2002, 16+ billboards owned by Clearchannel or AK Media were spraypainted with the words "Protest the NAB" and/or "ReclaimtheMedia.org". Several affinity groups coordinated actions to maximize efficacy.

Note:
You could also do this...It's time to punish the corporations OURSELVES.

do you really think this is "punishing" anyone? this is small stuff.. its merely vandalism and you are wrong for doing it. I don't know why people love doing things that just gives revolutionaries everywhere a bad name. If you want to hit where it counts you use intellect not force..

what makes corporations tick? Money.. hitting billboards is a very short sighted thing. most likely it is covered by insurance anyway. and the monitary loss is small and non-repeatable.. and is sympathized with for the most part by the consumer who likes graffiti? no sir we don't like graffitti. that poor company! their advertising rendered perhaps more efficent thru sympathy.

boycott is the way to go. that is sustainingly less money and if you can spread the word its likely to actually hit in the main stream consumer base which is what needs to hit.

use your grey cells not your brute force... if you use the brute force you are no better than they are.. and if you are no better than they are why should we bother to change the world?

one evil replaces another?
oh boy

This billboard I spotted on 2nd Ave. downtown sure as hell says Clear Channel on it. And to me, Clear Channel billboard is the same big nasty co. as Clear Channel Radio. So screw them.

Sure, maybe insurance pays it, but then CC's insurance goes up. It all costs them in the end. This is the same corp. that sponosred it's DJ Bubba the Love Sponge slaughtering a live pig in a parking lot live on the air. Why should anyone show them more respect than they do for their listeners and even animals?
