Am-Bush Marketing Defined

I was reading about Decision Points - George Bush's newly released book. Aside from the expected controversy there is an interesting "protest move". There is a Facebook group going which asks people to go to their bookstore and move the book to the crime section or some other section, take a photo of Decisions Point in situ and then publish to FB. Below are some of the photos uploaded.Quite amusing!
The exact copy on the FB group reads:
"George Bush's memoir Decision Points releases this Tuesday, November 9. Join Waging Nonviolence in helping bookstores around the country correctly shelve and categorize this book. Move Bush's memoir to the Crime section of the store (the Fiction, Science Fiction, and Humor sections are also applicable), take a picture of your handiwork, and post it to the wall of this event page on Facebook.
If you prefer not to inconvenience the store's staff, just reshelve the book long enough to take a picture and then put it back.
This nonviolent action is inspired by the recent movement in England where thousands of people reshelved Tony Blair's memoir, A Journey, to the crime, horror, and dark fantasy sections of book stores, and even the toiletries aisle of supermarkets.
So come out on Tuesday and put Dubya where he belongs."
