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?

was Sunshine the nearest one, it took them 35 minutes to get there.
Actually these guys(them and others who came near me later) were
repeating and doing what I was praying to God or what I was thinking or
what I wanted them to say:), Selgin told him there is so much blood that
I think cops can easily track us down (as blood was dripping on the
road), the other guy told him to go back and clean the truck he said no
lets get him to the tip first and let?s not stop on the way. Then the
truck stopped near RMIT, Selgin told the other guy, this is my
university, apparently it is good to do some course along with secret
service work it really helps. The other guy also told him that he was
working two days for ASIO and three days for NASA, they kept arguing
about other issues like that.
Selgin had told this ASIO guy during the journey, that when we get there
you will just open the door and find him in there, then you will call me
using your mobile and I will _pretend_ to come to tip to help you. So
the ASIO guy opened the truck and pretended he found me and called
Selgin for help, I don?t know why they did this, but Selgin told him
about those two guys who died etc etc, then he placed me on grass, it
was really smelly. And they started to leave, the ASIO guy asked him
that is it, you are not going to call Ambulance or cops, Selgin said,
"he(I Mohsin) said that God will help him, I want to see how God helps
him)", he left, I prayed to God once again for help, he returned. They
made this plan, they will simply place me back in truck again, move to a
bit different area, close to grass and they will call the ambulance an
cops, by pretending they accidentally found me, as Selgin was getting
lift from the other guy. Selgin tried various first aid techniques to
make me breath again, I was not b
