Received anonymously:<\/p>\n
Greetings from Mexico:<\/p>\n
The group of immediate anti-speciesist direct action, ‘Art as Crime, Crime as Art,’ claim the following sabotage of Telmex phones:<\/p>\n
+ The cable of a phone booth was sabotaged; black plastic was placed there and on it a sign with the logos of Telmex and the Ministry of Health and a message: ‘Telephone infected. Do not touch!’<\/p>\n
+ The cord of a telephone handset was cut, leaving it unusable, the cabinet was painted completely black and a writing was left on it:<\/p>\n
This poem is against advertising
\nWhy against advertising?
\nBecause it is one of the things
\nThat tells us that we are only ugliness
\nFor not following stereotypes
\nDictated by commercials
\nLack of imagination
\nAnd lack of humility<\/p>\n
Advertising deceives
\nDestroys personal thought
\nAnd our mind plunges into the darkness
\nOf thousands of unnecessary things
\nSo that the human being can see themselves as OK
\nIn the capitalist-patriarchal society
\nOne should buy<\/p>\n
I am disgusted and curse this human race
\nStereotyped and alienated
\nThat holds advertising as a deity
\nAnd considers it as their majesty!<\/p>\n
We destroy anything that we do not consider beautiful, and we build the beauty of insurgency.
\nPassivity is not useful, it is only what the system wants us to do; we are savages and we will collapse civilization.<\/p>\n

El grupo de acci\u00f3n directa inmediatista antiespecista “Arte como Crimen, Crimen como Arte” reivindica los siguientes sabotajes a tel\u00e9fonos de Telmex:<\/p>\n
+ Se saboteo el cable de una cabina telef\u00f3nica, se coloco un pl\u00e1stico negro y sobre el un letrero con los logotipos de Telmex y la Secretaria de Salud que dec\u00eda: “Tel\u00e9fono infectado \u00a1No tocar!”<\/p>\n
+ Se corto el cable del auricular de un tel\u00e9fono dej\u00e1ndolo inutilizable, se pinto completamente de negro dicha cabina y se dejo encima un escrito:<\/p>\n
Este poema es contra la publicidad
\n\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 contra la publicidad?
\nPues es una de las cosas
\nQue nos dice que somos solo una fealdad
\nPor no seguir estereotipos
\nDictados por anuncios comerciales
\nFaltos de imaginaci\u00f3n
\nY faltos de humildad<\/p>\n
La publicidad enga\u00f1a
\nDestruye el pensamiento personal
\nY nuestra mente hunde en la oscuridad
\nDe miles de cosas innecesarias
\nQue el humano por verse bien
\nAnte la sociedad capitalista-patriarcal
\nDebe comprar<\/p>\n
Me asqueo y maldigo a esta humanidad
\nEstereotipada y alienante
\nQue a la publicidad la tiene en deidad
\nY la considera como su majestad!<\/p>\n
Destruyamos lo que no consideremos bello y construyamos lo hermoso de la insurrecci\u00f3n por la liberaci\u00f3n total.
\nLa pasividad no sirve es solo lo que el sistema quiere que hagamos, seamos salvajes y colapsemos la civilizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
