Jennifer Government,Max Barry

Would you like to be a government ? after all in England the humans are voting for something like that today.

Jenifer Government Is a book and also a game http://www.nationstates.net/nation=madballerinas which i have a nation in, you are welcome to join in – you may get my humour or not it is up to you.

fiction ? in 2008 the nike 'air stab' where taken off the market for promoting knife crime in the uk.

The book isbn 0349117624 and published in 2003 imagines a world where nike kills its clients in order to get street cred and be fashionable so its a sideways look at globalisation, Chomsky and branding (my blog).

co starring Charton Heston with his nutty national rifle association (nra) fans.

There are other well known names in this tale.  Which is not at all depressing but at times damm funny with the nra shooting down jumbo jets and killing teenagers makes it the sane voice of logic on guns today.

Nike seem to have taken the book seriously in some regards (google bloodied trainers) and have tried to ignore it in other ways which is a shame.

For the game 5/5 bananas, Book 3/5 bananas.  An interesting read.

Until next time i have been Bananas LondonZoo* and thank you for visiting, tesco clubcard consumers may request bonus points towards your next assasination victim by using the code nrafreedeath but you must use it by the the end of the year.
