Just helping in front of a disk over the house is too open for Pat to behave it.

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.

if nothing had happened. He actually gave me biological weapons to
enable the kidney for a while, but during the last few days it was take
out, he said that he does not want to donate a kidney to black man,
funny I though it was all about moral values. Even though I am telling
you exactly what happened I don't think he meant what he was saying,
somehow he had to say that

I still can?t understand if they erased my memory to make sure I give a
different statement I did as they told me that I was injured in a car
accident, then why the kept giving me injections. Why would good cops
burn my skin with cigarettes, I just don?t understand some of these
things. I think essentially because good people were too scared to face
bad guys, it gave bad guys the chance to essentially direct the events
the way they wanted. Because today we are doing what we could have done
four or five years back, and I honestly don?t understand the point of
giving injections later. But during these few years, I think my body and
nervous system was badly damaged by Jews, at the same time they actually
did the best they can to direct everyone else against me, special thank
to our weaknesses, mediocrity and faithlessness. And frankly speaking if
it wasn?t for God and then those few good men God created in today?s
corrupt world, I honestly would have
