The goal is to interrupt the normal consumerist experience in order to reveal the underlying ideology of an advertisement, media message, or consumer artifact. Adbusters believe large corporations control mainstream media and the flow of information, and culture jamming aims to challenge this as a form of protest. The term "jam" contains more than one meaning, including improvising, by re-situating an image or idea already in existence, and interrupting, by attempting to stop the workings of a machine.<sup id="cite_ref-1_April_2009_26-0" class="reference"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adbusters#cite_note-1_April_2009-26">[26]</a></sup>
