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.

with you and catch all the bad guys. Now we can only get justice by
standing up and facing you directly, no more being indirect, so you
better prepare yourself for the worst which is yet to come. 

Then others may ask why is the word Jews used here. Well the fact is
ordinary Jews take pride in the fact that they are the most powerful
people in the world and they can get from anyone what they want and the
way they want. What it means it they are not unhappy about all these
authrocities their other brothers have committed against humanity, it is
okay by them. And that is why you don?t hear a word from any of these
people about Jews doing all this to anyone at all. IT will always be
someone else who will be discussed. 

May God have mercy on us all, and may God give us all the ability to be
kind and just and may God give us all the ability to be very very stiff
and direct to get justice. wa?Salam Mohsin

What is an eye in the sky?

Assalam u?Alekum all :) 
Muslims were told in Hadith that Dajal (Anti
Christ) will have one eye, it will be in one city at one instant, and at
the very next instant it will be in another city. People will follow
Dajal and no one will question it?s authority. Well Graham Sayers who
came to buy me one way or another or kill me, told me that you know what
is eye in the sky. We are, we the NASA, you know what that international
space station is about. He was thinking that by telling me all this, he
might be able to scare me and buy me. NSA/NASA did not spend much money
to really do any great work for humanity, instead of that money was
spend on developing network for satellites, these satellites do various
kind of things, like spying on human race every where, communication
with other NASA brothers around the world, keeping track of people who
might be against them, using possible GPS system, Graham Sayers claimed
that it was NSA?s effort to de
