Don't try to reject quickly while you're moulding within a lean paper.

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/

sell it...........................wholesale@blackspotsneaker.org

invest in it......................investors@blackspotsneaker.org

support it........................donations@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.

more amazing is the fact that these bad guys have affected the
minds of the whole world effectively. Like when you watch a documentary
about AlQaeda Muslims believe Christians are bad guys, Christians
believe Muslims are mad. They have created a world of zombies
everywhere, many AlQaeda people wander around the world without
restrictions, not many people would know that (will insha?Allah give you
proof later). BenLaden has very good contact with Yemenies Yemen is the
place where Jews are growing extremism for Muslims in middle east, they
would live, eat, sleep as Muslims but they still don?t want Islam. They
have altered Islamic text and Islamic culture.

Impact of recent incidents show that ordainary minds can easily be
influenced and thus can be directed in one direction or another.
Christian Muslim relationship took downturn and ordinary people started
hating each other more after 9/11 but what is more scary is that secret
services and those who know the truth have their minds in control too.
But now the time has come you people start behaving more like human and
stop acting mediocres because open air nuclear strike is real and its
impact on thoughts of human race will not be very good.

Muslims of the world how can you not question that what happened to
