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/

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.

stop using the word "america" for
Jews, United States does not belong to Jews, even they may control the
minds of people today, In Muslim countries they have poisoned many many
people, because "they don?t like America", which in return made every
ordinary person on the street hate United States and not the ones who
were really behind all these things.
I personally think that Bush is right one day or another someone has to
make a change in countries controlled by Jews. But once again I think if
Christianity is Europe?s and United States religion then they must
respect what Pope has said about Iraq issue, he is only giving what he
thinks is the right decision according to Vatican city and it should be
respected. I personally think that US should not go to war without
having Pope on her side or else Pope should be educated about the real
situation we are facing, I think religion should be respected and given
proper place in international politics. But it does not mean that
Military build up and inspections should no continue they should.
They way I see it, good people are using "Emergency Protocol" to speak
with each other and considering the situation I think this has been the
case for last 50 years or so. But one must ask why is it that ever after
such a long time, leaders and ordinary secret service workers have
failed to educate people about the real problem, looks like not many
leaders (unlike Bush) were really looking for solution desperately, most
of them were there just to pass the time. It also seems that wrong
approach was taken in past to educate people about the issues.
Like Iraq and many Muslim countries are now run by Jews who using Muslim
