This one’s kind of weird. It’s a collection of records of the police spying on Critical Mass in Portland obtained through the Freedom of Information Act going back as far as 1997. The intro implies that these might be interesting to read because the cops are so stupid, or whatever, but I can’t see anybody reading it for shits and giggles. Some of the reports are redone as Mad Libs “to make it fun... and so you will actually read it,” but it doesn’t really seem to work. I guess it’s just confusing for me. I mean, I think it’s cool they got this information and put it out there. We need to know The Man is monitoring us and all, yet, I just can’t see anyone sitting down to read this. It doesn’t seem right to say, “Why didn’t they just put it online?”, but I fail to see who the audience for this would be. It’s like a zine version of the Pentagon Papers or Watergate Tapes. If you want to know the pigs have sixty pages of reports on Critical Mass, they do. If you want to read them all, they’re available in this slick zine for a good price. –Craven Rock (Cantankerous Titles, Joe Biel, PO Box 14332, Portland, OR97293, cantankeroustitles.com)
