The Gnome Liberation Front

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the plight of gnomes, who are victims of gnome thieves, is a real cause of great concern to the political organization Front de Liberation des Nains de Jardin (FLNJ) or Gnome Liberation Front(GLF). The author points out that the GLF aims at mocking the consumer culture by trying to make people realize that they are not victims of gnome thefts but of a society that convinced them that they were in need of gnomes. The paper states that members in choosing such a method are sure to catch the public's attention to inform people about the true nature of modern culture and open their eyes to what modern life has been reduced.

From the Paper:

"In Britain, it is said that the GLF might be involved in the re-sale of the gnomes stolen by them and money is the only objective of this organization. However, that is not how the objectives of GLF are perceived in the rest of Europe. There appears to be a hidden message or higher purpose behind all these gnome robberies. The Gnome Liberation Front appears to practice a form of culture jamming. Culture jamming is a form of political communication, which has emerged as rebellion against the commercial isolation of public life where people are more interested in identifying with brand names than focusing on the problems surrounding their commercial environment."
