Week 2 Post: Popaganda (Ron English)

I know this video is extremely long but it is well worth the watch and could be life changing. Ron English begin his billboard take overs as a free form of art for the public but it quickly blossomed into something much more when he decided to incorporate his political views. Ron lives out his beliefs that corporations don't deserve free speech the people do.Instead of media guided messages Mr. English tells the general public with truth like in his camel cigarette billboard in which the word "camel" is replaced with "cancer". My favorite billboard would have to be the obese Ronald McDonald showing what food that comes from a laboratory will do to your body. It's amazing to me how often he risked going to jail in order to get his message across similar to the civil rights movement.
