In the 21st century it seems that deconstruction, not imitation, is the sincerest form of flattery. Remember our old friend Ron English from our November issue? In case you don’t, he’s the one responsible for creating a wave of pop culture images that savaged some of the biggest, most familiar names in capitalism. Let’s put it this way—because of him you’ll never look at Disney and Kellogg mascots the same way again. But English is not a selfish man; he wants you in on the act as well. Many of his fanciful and demented anti-ads—such as “Duncan High Hash Brownies”—were recently made available online for you to do download and print. Apply them if you can, they’re designed to be placed over the real products! Hypothetically, one could sneak them onto these products and turn one’s local grocery store into an anti-consumerist haven. Try not to get caught though, neither English (nor CULTURE) is going to bail you out, and we are not responsible for you being an idiot.
