rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5:  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?

One I was told by an Israeli Muslim, You see the Jewish leaders(the one
who sponsors AFL) said that we have to work on Pauline problem before it
gets bigger today it is about Asians tomorrow it will be about us Jews,
because this is how problems change their direction.

I personally don?t believe in dividing people over racial issues, but
later some "good guys" explained what really had happened, I was very
firm on Kashmir issue, the reason being here you don?t see what is
happening out there. In many neighbouring Muslims countries around
Kashmir, Media displays how Indian army murders and rapes Muslim men and
women. And that is not very good sight. Though such things get used to
control people. But once again raping and murdering innocent is a bad
thing. Besides people must have the right to chose where they want to
be, UN resolution in Kashmir were never implemented. There was no
connected for me between Israel and Kashmir at that time. 

But thanks to those Jewish Muslims I realised that the solution to
problems like Kashmir does not live inside Kashmir and the solution to
many other problems the world is facing today lives in Israel, because
they will intrude in every Muslim/nonMuslim thing and be pre-emptive and
use their powers against innocent even when they have tiny bit of doubts
about things. This things was seconded by a man who was from Israel,
without going much in details. There are many good people out there in
Israel too, but they don?t have en
