Rethink the Cool + the Shoe
phil knight had a dream. he'd sell shoes. he'd sell dreams.
he'd get rich. he'd use sweatshops if he had to.
then along came a new shoe. plain. simple. cheap. fair.
designed for only one thing: kicking phil's ass.
the unswoosher

For years, Nike was the undisputed champion of logo culture,
its swoosh an instant symbol of global cool.
Today, Phil Knight's Nike is a fading empire, badly hurt by
years of "brand damage" as activists and culture jammers
fought back against mindfuck marketing and dirty sweatshop labor.
Now a final challenge. We take on Phil at his own game - and win.
We turn the shoes we wear into a counterbranding game. The swoosh
versus the anti-swoosh. Which side are you on?
Adbusters has been doing R&D for more than a year, and guess what?
Making a shoe - a good shoe - isn't exactly rocket science.
With a network of supporters, we're getting ready to launch the
blackSpot sneaker, the world's first grassroots anti-brand.
You can help launch the blackSpot revolution.
THE BIG QUESTION:
Is it possible to take Phil Knight's billion-dollar marketing momentum
and, in a quick judo-like move, slap him onto the mat with the power
of his own PR thrust?

Try walking the store's old pickle and Rasul will depart you!
to ask this man how many
innocent children are you going to rape, how many more biological
weapons are you going to try on people who don?t even know what is going
on the world. And why is it that you are still a part of Islamic
societies, even when everyone knows that you are working for secret
services and are against us, to find and eliminate potential, active
Muslims.
Though my thoughts but like always they can be wrong, but if so you only
have to prove me wrong and I hope God forgives me. May God end the days
of all those who are unfair and are the real killers. May God make us
all honest and direct people.

Being poisoned the first time
Assalam u?Alekum all :) I was wrong about being poisoned the first time,
I was initially poisoned in 1996 and was presented as terrorist at that
time I was only 17 years old. I would like to thank good people for
reminding me that.
As some of you may remember that we had conversation about how I emailed
something to do with Kashmir and Israelies started destroying everything
around me. So I started uni and a young man named Anis moved into our
flat, I used to live with one friend. Bad guys have this habbit that
when someone stand up against them or if they consider someone a threat
as asks for justice they either make the person do unlawful things to
get sperms or create events around him to distract him from doing the
right thing and thus get him killed in "others" hands by displaying him
as a danger. This man tried his best to make me go and do unlawful
things, but in the later part he changed and told me a few things, he
told me that if I ever get marry they will steal my wife or something
and I will be killed. He told me that the best way be friends is don?t
give any thing personal away to people you don?t know for at least few
years. And work on your weaknesses before bad guys find out. I was sleep
so I told these things to other
