'The kind of information you were getting from the frontlines was sanitised,' argues Eichman. 'They didn't want you to see the bloodied bodies of Iraqis. If you speak to an American, most don't have a clue outside of Fox News, which is completely corporate run, completely biased.' But Fox is not the only offender according to Chambers, 'it's whatever TV station you're watching, whatever newspaper you're reading'.

Among the features on Canned Revolution are 'UFO cover-ups', 'the fake moon landing' and 'the JFK conspiracy', but the revolutionaries contend that their site is different to the myriad conspiracy theory sites on the net. 'We're more visually stimulating than others, and also other ones tend to be very serious, or completely mad,' says Chambers. 'We are pretty mad, but we do have some serious stuff in there.'

Apart from the 'serious stuff' on the site you can indeed read the Canned Revolution conspiracy theory, which links an Elvis impersonator to the Kennedy assassination, and take a test to find out whether you are a tool of the government.

The trio is aware of the irony that at the same time as raging against consumerism they're going to be selling T-shirts on the site - portraying, of course, sinister government agents, conspiracy and revolution (no Che Guevara whom they consider passe - sorry Leung Kwok-hung).

Berriff says they make a joke out of themselves by packaging the T-shirts in tin cans. 'Pop open a can and release the revolution, we're anti-consumerism but we're repackaging it and selling it back to you,' says Chambers. And while they may dream of giving up their day jobs if T-shirt sales really take off, the three maintain they're determined to stick to their principles and say they'll give part of the profit back to the workers who manufacture the garments. 'We don't want to be another Nike,' says Eichman, adamantly. 'We're not trying to make money off the backs of the workers.'

While the site contains some excellent graphics, its one major failing is the dearth of content related to Asia. You certainly don't have to cross the Pacific to find examples of 'the oft invisible insidious symbiosis between the government and big business'.

Chambers says they have plans to introduce more global content to the site, although right now their attention is focused on the US because of the forthcoming presidential election.

He says they're also encouraging visitors to the site to post their own revolutionary artwork on its forums, and would be happy to see more Asian content.

So, if you feel inspired, with a bit of help from photoshop and a vivid imagination, you too could be part of the canned revolution.
