It recently came to light that a political advertisement for George W. Bush subliminally flashed the word “RATS” when criticizing Al Gore’s prescription medicine plan.2 Bush and Republican ad-maker Alex Castellanos denied that the quickly flashed word was a subliminal message designed to surreptitiously sling mud at Gore. Many others, however, concluded that “RATS” was indeed inserted with the intention of secretly causing viewers’ to associate vermin with Al Gore.

ESF: one attempt at an overview

10-11-2002 00:08

To get an overview of the European Social Forum which has been running in Florence since 7 November, and closes tomorrow, 10 November, is difficult - certainly beyond me. About 20,000 people there, so I'm told. The main centre of the Forum is a huge old military base, the Fortezza, covering a large area with meeting halls spread over it.It is constantly swarming with people looking for meetings (to find where they are is not always easy!), searching for food, holding impromptu extra meetings of one sort or another... The walls are plastered with hundreds of posters and leaflets.

Florence: 500,000 march today against the war

09-11-2002 23:52

The protest was called as part of the European Social Forum, held here from 7 to 10 November, but the great majority of the demonstrators were Italian. Contingents started to assemble at 11am, four hours before the scheduled start of the march. The crowd was far too big to fit into the scheduled finishing area. Marchers filled the streets for miles around. As I write, it is 8pm, and the streets of the city are still full of demonstrators making their way home.
