we do not like pulafashion project

we are a bunch of people who often carry contradictory debates with other people. hmm, debates...debates sound well. most of the times you cannot have a contradictory-constructive debate but you get rather ironical-sarcastical-cooly-evil remarks. but that's ok, we manage somehow.

we do not like pulafashion project.

are you crazy, many people said. what's wrong with this action? how can you say something about someone who is trying to do something different? can't you just laugh about it? hey, did you lose your humour or something?

ooo, uau!

so let me explain you how it works.

"pula" is the Romanian word for "dick", you know.

first, pulafashion collective created their own site, wrote some "revolutionary" manifests and arranged some photos in photoshop, photos from the streets with big advertising boards in which the word "pula" replaced other words. hmm, funny for the first reaction.

but then you go through their revolutionary manifests and you see no link between the statements. they demonize the advertising industry, but, hey, they say, advertising it's not too bad if it's done well!

advertising sucks when it speaks to us about washing powders, free minutes on your handy, or staff like this. Western advertisments, they say, talk to people about civilization and welfare. Romanian advertising, they also say, speak about the poverty of a nation who would rent even its graveyards for an advertising campaign!

well, as you can see, the problem is not advertising, an evil itself, but bad quality advertising.

pulafashion cries so much because we have no advertising like the west has!

see, that's in brief the pulafashion message.

besides their intentions of "saving the walls of the city", of saving the old buidings of bucharest from being covered in ads, the message of this campaign is not very powerful. and it's not critical at all! and the people how prepared this campaign are all mass media employees! and we don't wanna sound like some fuckin' frustrated proletarians, but let's be serious.

how can you build a so-called anti-ad campaign reffering in a pathetic way to the Romanian revolution from '89? throwing lacrimogenous methaphors such as "blood flew in the streets years ago so that you can be free, and as a response you covered you city walls in thousands of commercial brands"...

who covered them? i covered them? my friends did? my mother did? who the fuck covered the city walls with commercial brands? what is the essence of the problem, in fact?

pulafashion are not able to identify any essence of the problem. they just pretend to take action. good action. civic action. revolutionary action. brave young men, the future of our country - that is what pulafashion pretends to be. not little, solidary action, really helping at least a bunch of people, but big action, over-mediatized ( because they are media people, aren't they), big tam-tam-bum-bum, everyone knows about this project, but this fuckin project really helps NO-ONE. not one single person. they are not making life any better for someone else.

more, next time.

da, te aude cineva. nu sintem foarte multi cei care te auzim, dar sintem prin preajma.

nu ti-ar veni sa crezi cit de putina lume gindeste ca tine.

sa punem totul pe seama dezorientarii oare?

as zice ca mai degraba pe seama ignorantei...

mai arata-te

Ceea ce fac cei de la P.Fashion, fac bine, numai ca sunt fiinte umane, si ei mai gresesc. Daca v-ati saturat de toate chetiile comerciale care se scot nou pe piata and shit, P.Fashion va asteapta, dar pacat ca s-a inchis forumu'. Sper doar sa nu apuce o cale proasta si sa ajunga la autodistrugere.
Respectele mele!

mda. e mai simplu decat credeti. mi-a spus mie un insider. oamenii de la pulafashion vor un sinur lucru: bani. exact cum amesteca americanii karate cu macdonalds cu patriotism cu biblie, si e incearca sa amestece inteligenta cu prostie cu sentiment cu rationalitate, sa fie undeva pe la mijloc sa-i faca pe prosti sa se simta destepri si pe rationali sentimentali. dar rezonul lor nu sta in picioare la o analiza atenta. deci fiti atenti. io unu bag pula in fahionu lor!!!

cred ca anonimu de mai sus are dreptate - astia de la modapulii sunt probabil prima generatie 100% capitalista a romaniei, capitalismul fiind inteles in sensul lui pur mercantilist, nu in conceptiile morale, sociale, politice create in 200 de capitalism in vest
