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.

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.
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?

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.

unlawful relationship
with people to find out what they know and think. Bad guys have used
this really well to exploite and destroy human character and values. It
is amazing that religious community have not spoken about it. What is
X-Ray, well x-ray is having unlawful relationship with someone who may
be a danger to bad guys, it is said that most of the time when people
have unlawful relationship, the "cancer" dies. At the same time those
who work for secret services believe that it is an effective way of
finding out secrets. Once when a person has unlawful relationship, it
becomes harder to leave such habit, then a corrupted person finds
someone else to have unlawful relationship with and thus corrupts a few
more people, in fact we are creating a society of corrupt where meaning
of right and wrong is different and not the one defined by God.
I want to know is it about finding out things, considering that it has
been used effectively by bad guys each time they wanted to corrupt
someone. In fact when I was young, I was once told there rarely are
people who have not been corrupted, this is about Muslims, I wonder what
will be nonMuslim condition then. Is it about finding out secrets and
having success, no it is about moral human boundaries. Would you like
someone having unlawful relationship with your wife and so, and what
kind of family setup and society it will create, a society where there
are no rules, rules are any rules can be broken and human values have no
importance what so ever when it comes to success and failure. Besides
who says that this will not be used again and things are going fine,
things are not fine, it has corrupted whole human generations, what else
in needed as a proof that this method goes aga
