From Adbusters #111: The Big Ideas of 2047
THEO GOSSELIN
April 20, 2030
So many decades, years and eons of religious war our planet has seen…across the Middle East and Asia…the conquests…the crusades…It’s a bloody shame (literally…bloody) that all the great religions of the world which dominated our spiritual life for thousands of years couldn’t see their reflections in each other.
They all used different metaphors to tell us essentially the same thing…how to live a good, honest life. To love our neighbours, to live with integrity, to keep our word, to share with strangers, exist with gratitude…and yet, as our existential crisis reached its terrifying peak, none of them were able to offer a unifying narrative that could pull us out of the darkness we were plummeting into. Why couldn’t these spiritual traditions gel?
What in the name of God was it…about Sunni & Shia, Hindu & Buddhist, Catholic and Protestant, Judaic & Islamic that stopped them from embracing each other?
Why did they turn their backs on the most precious gift that their prophets gave them, and bully each other to death for 2000 years?
Is this Dark Age that we’re entering into some kind of existential riddle, another great spiritual test that we must live through before we can see the light?…is there a final secret that will eventually be revealed?

MWEB: Witchcraft
Posted in: Uncategorized
To make isiXhosa-speaking consumers (the 2nd largest language group in South Africa) aware of their affordable Internet package, MWEB tapped into Xhosa folklore. isiXhosa speakers inhabit two worlds at the same time – the traditional and modern. Modern technology such as the Internet comfortably co-exists with the notions of witchcraft being real. The ad uses this idea of witchcraft in a contemporary setting in a tongue-in-cheek manner, allowing the MWEB Internet offer to be presented using cultural capital that resonates with potential consumers.
