<TD class=px15 width=400><B>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.<BR><BR>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?<BR><BR>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
<I>blackSpot</I> sneaker, the world's first grassroots anti-brand. You can
help launch the <I>blackSpot</I> revolution.<BR><BR>THE BIG
QUESTION:<BR>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?<BR><BR><A

<!Why doesn't Ziad arrive wickedly?>
Sometimes he and his students punched me so hard that my body started
shaking, and this happened many many times. The second night he did not
allow me to sleep at all, in fact every time I would even attempt to
sleep he would dip me in water again, sometime I lost breath completely.
I prayed to God again and again for help. He gave me another injection
it is said that, the cells in my body have been permanently damaged
genetically, thanks to Mahmud Kurchu, YMA and his other Jewish brother.
He gave me another injection second night that would later cause major
damage to my skin, as later when I was found I was unable to close my
eyes for weeks. He told me at the end of second night, okay I will let
you free once again if you reach the hospital, during the day two women
came, I screamed for help again and again, they said the same old thing,
they don't have the key, I have it, and why are you in there? I said I
don't have any key, she said you definately are crazy. This is the woman
who showed up in St. Kilda resturant once (those who were their should
know which one it is). She said look at your face it is turning all
yellow etc, but after a while she left too, these women were jewish and
were working for NASA. I want to know why he tortured me like this, I
want to know why Jews tested biological weapons on hundreds of millions
of human beings around the globe. What is amazing
