in a rich man's house, there's no place to spit but his face

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?

anyway at the same time as I had already been
active in Islamic society some "Jewish Muslims" joined society as well.
By this time Selgin Inan had started praying, the man on the mission.
Losing parts of my nervous system :)
Assalam u?Alekum all :) (From 1997 to mid 1998) So I join Islamic
society in late 1995 and start double degree in early 1996, a few Jewish
Muslims (males and females) working for secret services also join the
course. Selign Inan, Aynur Bulut (both were Turkish Jewish Muslims),
Sarah (Israeli Jew) were just some of them. The rest we will discuss
alter. My parents were harassed so they agreed to marry me to a Jewish
girl, they took me to this doctor when I was visiting them, who?s
daughter arrived in black car, they told me the doctor was my dad?s
class mate. I honestly don?t know what it has to do with me, but when I
came back I did not pay much attention to anyone as I only wanted to be
engineer and then get a job, marriage was not on my mind. So Sarah tries
to approach me and fails. Then they showed Aynur Bulut as candidate to
my friend Hakani. Upon this a few more Jewish Muslims and Jews get
involved in Islamic society, this time everyone knows what is going on
but I guess no one wanted to be poisoned or so, so I was not told
anything.
In late 1997 Cebrial Bulut becomes my friend, he is brother of Aynur
Bulut. But anyway I don?t know what they did but I was living with some
family and I used to like those people, we ended up fighting as he used
to come to visit me everyday and they perhaps didn?t like it that much.
So I end up living in another friends Garage no toilet, no food, no
heater or fan, as no one is ready to pay for my living expenses. So here
I see a dream that a moon hidden behind the tree appears and I like it
more than the one already in the view. I did not know wh
