rec.music.artists.reb-st-james:  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.

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?

No eggs will be weak quiet tickets.


you prove it to me
that Israel has nothing to do with anything else outside Israel, Israel
has never killed innocent people in the name of God around the globe and
tried to control other races, besides which race is it that would not
accept a prophet who is not from its race. ( more to follow soon :) )

Though these are my thoughts but like always they can be wrong, if I am
wrong prove it to me, give me some evidence, as I am a human being. I am
sorry if I have hurt anyone, I was just being honest about my experience
in life. May God have mercy on us all and fulfil his promise by showing
and giving us the ability to follow and face the truth and stand up and
ask for unbiased justice.

Systematically Eliminating Potential variables

Assalam u?Alekum all :) When I was in Pakistan a few months back, a man
named Ahson Aziz tried his best to take me to some camp in Kashmir, I
personally did not know who this man was, but he made my dad call me to
ask me to come with him to "Kashmir camps" well I did not go, but today
the later events have proved that if I had gone there I would been
sitting in Jail or probably would be called terrorist, this is called
creating terrorist from nothing. That man I think works for "some"
secret service, he was not very happy about me not listening to him. I
personally think that such people should be caught and brought to
justice but they never are one must ask why? Why arent? they caught and
brought to justice?

Many Muslims think that the solution for Kashmir and other places like
that
