In the upcoming issue titled “Cool Fascimo,” the Canadian based magazine, behind the Occupy Wall Street protests, defended the placement of a barcode on their next issue on the face of the Republican presidential nominee, according to Advertising Age.

“Adbusters Issue #127 takes on the rise of global fascism, exposing the symptoms of a sick and outdated system,” the editorial page of the issue read. “Everywhere you look, fascist tendencies are creeping into view as each day our world falls further and further into chaos. Have we forgotten the lessons of the past?”
“Will we bury our heads into the comforts of virtual reality while egomaniacs capture the imagination of the masses,” they added. “Cool Fascismo is an unprecedented exploration into a world where a culture of cool becomes a culture of fear.”
