rec.sport.baseball.fantasy:  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?

X-Raying people and it?s abuse.

Assalam u?Alekum all, 
Here is another one of those things invented by
bad guys to corrupt humanity. It is about having unlawful relationship
with people to find out what they know and think. Bad guys have used
this really well to exploite and destroy human character and values. It
is amazing that religious community have not spoken about it. What is
X-Ray, well x-ray is having unlawful relationship with someone who may
be a danger to bad guys, it is said that most of the time when people
have unlawful relationship, the "cancer" dies. At the same time those
who work for secret services believe that it is an effective way of
finding out secrets. Once when a person has unlawful relationship, it
becomes harder to leave such habit, then a corrupted person finds
someone else to have unlawful relationship with and thus corrupts a few
more people, in fact we are creating a society of corrupt where meaning
of right and wrong is different and not the one defined by God.

I want to know is it about finding out things, conside
