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 mind**** 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?

need my next generation, so it is either I give it to them voluntarily
or they will forcibly take it. I asked him how can he make me do
unlawful things when I don?t want to he said they can, they have very
good control over Muslims. He asked me my likes and dislikes, and the
next day one of my neighbour?s Muslim girl comes to my door and asks me
that she wants to learn some maths of so. Well because she didn?t bring
anything with her, so I though she was joking, this girl came into my
house forcibly and during all this period I had to stay out of my own
house. But I was lucky as I did not really understand what it mean,
apparently when someone says you don?t know maths then it means you
don?t know rude things or so. I don?t know I guess the world is really
coming to an end, everything has a rude meaning thanks God I don?t know
many of them. Later the same man told me he did really send someone to
my door, but I didn?t do anything so now they will try a "different"
method.

Though nothing much happened but this man was influential enough to send
someone of my kind to my door from my neighbourhood in a day, this shows
they really do control minds and bodies using events, information and
secret services is not wrong. But I do question, if it was not me, and
some other kind of man was there, what should have happened. This also
shows that Muslims have left God and have started taking shortcuts
wherever whenever they can. And that is why it has made it very easy for
those w
