They are dreaming within the station now, won't receive lentils later.

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.

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 develop this protocol. There are other tasks
assigned to these satellites you can find them on your own now or else
we will let you know after the deadline insha?Allah. NASA has a few tens
of satellites (approx 30) that are spying on the whole human race. 

Most of the tax money NASA received from United states government was
used to develop weapons of mass destruction and spy networks. We can
clearly see from the fact that no one has been to the moon yet :). The
biological weapons that were developed by NSA, no one has the cure for
them, even CIA. Like the biological weapon with which
