You won't attempt me wasting about your bad night.
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.

my memory.
The cop who was handling my case had changed by this time, he gave him a
few secrets about me. And showed him some of those strange events, In
any case the CIA guy gave me another injection to erase my memory and
then he left. He told the good cop that by the time I recall what
happened he will travel to some other city or country etc etc.
But the game was not really over yet, when I was in hospital due to the
biological weapons Mahmud Kurchu and his other Jewish brothers had given
me I started feeling pain in my body, so once I increase the heart beat
rate on machine. But second time I don?t think it was me, all I can
recall is someone came in he/she looked back at me and then changed the
reading. During the mean while the bad guys were trying to program me to
commit suicide, yes even then.
Firstly the good cop though I was trying to commit suicide, then they
tried to test me, but I did not touch the machine the other person who
did this was never ever found, but they kept Nurse on hook, all I can
recall is as the someone came in after jumping over the back wall. This
is kind of tragic, like if Nurse was really trying to help may be she
suffering just because she was good. Anyway that day 10% of my heart was
damaged.
During the operation they discovered one of my kidney was disabled, they
though it happened in 1995, but in 1995 only my name was destroyed,
kidney was disabled when I was young. No one wanted me, so they
concluded I will stay where I was and I will continue going to school as
if nothing had happened. He actually gave me biological weapons to
enable the kidney for a while, but during the last few days it was take
out, he said that he does not want to donate a kidney to black man,
funny I though it was all about moral values. Even though I am telling
you exactly what happened I don't think he meant what he
