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?

They say, we have to work on the problem before .
Assalam u?Alekum all :) I actually started posting news to newsgroups in
1995-6 at that time I remember that once in some *.islam or so newsgroup
issue of Kashmir was being dicussed. So I wrote a good response to that.
As soon as I posted reply things changed, a lot of "apparent" Muslims
were installed around me and so on. I was still completely sleep at that
time. Though nothing much happened to me, but everything else around me
turned into a disaster thanks to those cowardly coward bad guys working
in disguise.
One I was told by an Israeli Muslim, You see the Jewish leaders(the one
who sponsors AFL) said that we have to work on Pauline problem before it
gets bigger today it is about Asians tomorrow it will be about us Jews,
because this is how problems change their direction.
I personally don?t believe in dividing people over racial issues, but
later some "good guys" explained what really had happened, I was very
firm on Kashmir issue, the reason being here you don?t see what is
happening out there. In many neighbouring Muslims countries around
Kashmir, Media displays how Indian army murders and rapes Muslim men and
women. And that is not very good sight. Thoug
