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?

and
agian, for commiting the crime of being beautiful and growing up in weak
Muslim family. I just don't understand how can jews today make noise
about racist and things like that when they have not a single men/women
they did not rape. I wonder what kind of feeling the rest of humanity
has when they just stand aside and watch the rape of another religion. I
wonder why they only talk and say bad things about Muslims and Islam and
they never did anything to undo Muslim slavery and show what they could
have done. Is what what your great moral and religious levels teach you
people of the world. Is that what you would like to see as future of
your chilren, have you ever felt like being a slave of system and living
in a jail without walls. Have you ever though about doing anything more
to stop the rape of humanity at Jewish hands other than just ignoring
it. How long will I live, how many people like me survive the wage of
rapist Jews till today. Have you ever though about that, or is it that
that, you read this mail and then go on with your life perhaps because
it is not your problem, perhaps because those who get raped and totured
like me had no right to live, perhap
