rec.gambling.blackjack.moderated:  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?

wa'Salam

. so the mosques were gassed.

Assalam u'Alekum all,

(Early 1991) As I said that after that pipe incident a lot of things
started changing around me. I used to go to pray fujur every day on
time, and _sometime_ would kind of cry to, the Israelis noted it and
started keeping me under observation. So then came the time when
sometime after we would finish prayer or start prayer, there would some
kind of rusty iron like smell in the mosque. After breathing whatever
this thing was, I and some others would get flu, pain in the neck, Jaw
or sometimes some kind of pimples of so inside our neck, as I used to
feel pain in my neck whenever I swallowed anything. Similar kind of gas
was sprayed at me a few days back.

On the other hand these Israelis would make stories that _xyz_ man got
somekind of neck cancer and it requires operation. Things did not really
end here, I used to go buy candies from a local shop and sometimes a
drink or two (you know baby/junk food). So over their one Jewish man was
sometimes present to investigate what I like and think. He used to order
the shop keeper to give me some _special_ kind of coke or sprite, when
ever I drank those special drinks I would instantly get flu, my hands
would get cold and every time a few hours later after this water like
flu, some kind of black clusters started coming out of my nose.

This local shop keeper knew our family so he told my grand parents that
he can't do much as other wise Israelis would give this to his children,
so my parents completely stopped me from going out.

May God free the Muslims and give the ability to stand up against those
Hayenas who attack everyone from the back and call other races with
names like mice and mos
