Anyone do work for a brand that they hate?
I'm in-house for a company who's biggest client I can't stand, but a year and a half ago I had to take this job or face being fucked with school debt.
Kind of coming out of that and can't wait to leave and stop feeling like I'm whoring myself.

i once was involved in taking a cigarette brief on board for L&M cigs [Philip Morris] whose target market was, "10-18yr olds" which is against the law, but when the same people who are governing the laws are the same people who are running cities, states and countries then it doesn't matter does it???
does it? of course it does! we told 'em to fuck off.

If Starbucks is closer than Second Cup Coffee, I'll go to starbucks so I can get back to the studio and do what I love.
I avoid avoiding brands.
Call me the consumer whore, but at least i'll be home earlier to spend time with my girlfriend.

I'd rather buy from them and help a few people have a career, instead of helping a few people make millions while the rest make minimum wage.

JazX, bedenken...
you pointed out a few exceptions and they are true... but you get the jist of what I'm saying.
Generally speaking, the majority of the massive amounts of consumer products and clothing brought in to America are made in sweatshops.

gorbie - yr king. i like yr priorities a lot.
i don't avoid any brands..
brand avoiding kind of reminds me only buying certain things because they're that brand. it works both ways..
with that said, i don't eat fast food and i don't drink soda, but that's not really avoiding brands. i just don't like shitty food. but i got a crazy starbucks addiction.

i avoid anything that isn't made with at least 20% recycled homeless people.

and antigirl has a point, but i think avoiding brands because you don't support their way of doing business is somewhat noble, as opposed to completely mindless consumerism

f18 - that's the thing i do not have time to research what brands do horrible things to their employee's or what not.
it makes me laugh when people have all ikea furniture and refuse to shop at walmart. but still buy art/wood supplies from home depot.
it goes both ways and back a zillion times.
