Nowadays Aziz will recommend the candle, and if Jeff nearly kills it too, the pool will smell about the bizarre structure.

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?

OUR KICK-ASS MARKETING STRATEGY >> http://blackspotsneaker.org/02/


buy it............................preorders@blackspotsneaker.org

sell it...........................wholesale@blackspotsneaker.org

invest in it......................investors@blackspotsneaker.org

support it........................donations@blackspotsneaker.org

join the jam........................jammers@blackspotsneaker.org

Make a straight donation... it's a worthy cause
with the potential to set an historic precedent
that could be repeated in other industries and
usher in more grass roots version of capitalism
in which megacorps do not control every area of
our children's lives.

Assalam u?Alekum all :)
(min-late 1991, in Pakistan) Now insha?Allah for
few weeks we will discuss what happened to me in childhood. I had no
father it was great to grow up in the middle of people who only cared
about what they wanted or talk about me, even when they had seen my
character and intelligence, so when I started growing up, by the time I
reached level 9 at school, I was the only one who did not understand,
talk and do rude things, mostly students are me used to do all this but
I was not aware of the issue.

Some people have the idea that my brain is back now, no you can?t
recreate God?s gifts like the way they were before, especially brain.
When I was in level 3 I used to make images of planes, cars, helicopters
and ships that I had never seen, they were my ideas, but today?s Apache
and Stealth bomber look just like the two of them, though I can?t really
imagine things like that anymore, but I guess this is God?s will so I
just want to thank him for that.

So in level 9, I started feeling a lot of pain in my rude part
