Hardly any lean dry bandages will seemingly fear the figs.
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.

God and thus learned to
justify our thoughts and actions depending on situation.
You see people (no matter who you are) if you really are people of God
and God is on your side then you don?t need to fear anyone and remove
any future problem against you. The reason being it is your attitude
that will save you from problems, learn to find out why other people are
against you if they are speaking the truth then correct yourself, if
they are wrong then just let them know. Difference should be accepted,
as even in a family two brothers would never think the same. But learn
to be merciful and learn to be just, learn to forgive and learn to let
go, learn not to fear anything else but the unhappiness of God.
May God show us the right path and have mercy on us all :), may God end
the days of bad guys and their mind control over humanity sooner.

Who?s leading the mosque :)
Assalam u?Alekum all :) Here is another one of those unconscious social
things accepted by people today. Mostly all the houses of God are run by
a committee than the person who is leading the mosque
