In February of this year (1998), a man ("Billie") walked into a Barnes & Noble Superstore in Austin, Texas, wearing a paper bag with holes cut for his eyes. He approached the front counter and politely asked the clerk for assistance in finding a particular book. The clerk immediately called for a manager to the front. An assistant manager appeared and asked the man why he was wearing a paper bag on his head. In the now infamous reply, the man said: "I am tired of the corporate attitude which views me merely as a faceless consumer. And I am wearing this paper bag as a symbol of my protest against this sort of mind-set." The assistant manager then told him to either remove the bag or leave the store. Not willing to give in any further to the disease, the man elected to leave the store. This event was subsequently reported over the FringeWare News Network and Midnight Special Bookstore's Disgusted with Superstores Opinion List. And here in Dunwitch, a group of us decided that we had also had enough of similar corporate attitudes. It was high time to take action. ______________________________________________ From "An Open Letter from the President of the Friends United in Creative Knowledge of the Faceless Attitudes of Corporate Entities."
