Eli HornMon, Aug 25, 2008 I like that Adbusters exists and appreciate the ends they go to to promote their ideas, but I find that a lot of their articles just really miss the mark and end up falling into the cliches they are fighting against. I think where they fall the hardest is in their lack of positive initiative. They are very quick to criticize and seem to enjoy warning us of the end of everything as we know it, but in doing so, they end up on the constant defensive. Its too bad, because they certainly don't lack spirit.
