Re: rec.music.artists, which side are you on

rec.music.artists:  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?

Who will you jump the full clean eggs before Hussein does?


if he ever stopped to
think I was a human child who had feeling who was raped his whole life
by jews and I was telling the truth), anyway he told me the blood
pressure in left side of my body keeps dropping. They did all the checks
they found out my digestion system, some important body parts were
injured. But decline in blood pressure was not from there, they did the
heart scan, the lower part of my heart was punctured. He woke me up
again (in rude way), saying what do I want to do, if I live like that I
have three months to live or okay three years ( I guess me telling the
truth to world was more important to him at that time than my life and
feelings but then this is how the world is today), if I go for operation
I might die during the operation. I asked him if I was dreaming he said
yes I am. I told him okay I will go for heart operation, he reminded me
once again I can die and all this may be real. I told him you see if I
made it this far (no matter if it is a dream or reality) then I will get
through the rest too. That statement made him think for the first time.
He wanted to inform my parents, I told him not to because I did not want
my parents to worry about me, besides now they had other kids and life
to worry about, I lived most of my life being ignored and alone so it
did not really matter much, I just want to say thanks to God. At the
same time I told him I am sorry if I ever said or did
