Hi friends
We've outgrown this 800-pixel wide website and we're moving to new digs.While we pack up our things (i.e. articles and videos and stuff), we're shutting down commenting and new registrations on the current site.
Our new site is up and running at GOOD.is/.
Yours,
GOOD

I hope Ben Davis rankles everyone connected to (RED) so they rethink their approach. This campaign is second only to Bush's post 9-11 mandate, "let's go shopping". When we all watched the Oprah-Bono TV launch of the (RED) campaign, we were transfixed, but in a horrified way: B&O arrived in a chauffered limo and purchased stacks of (RED) T's -- all without any display of money -- then asked viewers to "buy RED". Buy (RED), no; see red, yes. Like others, we give directly to non-profits, bypassing the consumer craze entirely.
