Adbusters is an organization founded in 1989 by kalle lasn and Bill schmalz in Vancouver, British columbia, canada. They describe themselves as "a global network of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age." On september 13, 20004, Adbusters filed a lawsuit against six major Canadian television broadcasters (including CanWest Global, Bell Globemedia, CHUM Ltd., and the CBC) for refusing to air Adbusters videos in the television commercial spots that Adbusters attempted to purchase. Most broadcasters refused the commercials for reasons based on business principles. The lawsuit claims that Adbusters' freedom of expression was unjustly limited by the refusals.There has been talk that if Adbusters wins in Canadian court, they will file similar lawsuits against major U.S. broadcasters that also refused the advertisments.

Adbusters:
From comparing these adverts above, you can see how the Mc Donalds advert are saying all these amazing facts and making the food luring the veiwer into one of many McD's resturants, while the adbusters advert shows how bad the big mac is and how this can effect your heath and how they are made.
The question is now... Would you go into a Mc Donalds resturant again??
