fidonet.aus_genealogy:  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?

OUR KICK-ASS MARKETING STRATEGY >> http://blackspotsneaker.org/02/

buy it............................preorders@blackspotsneaker.org

sell it...........................wholesale@blackspotsneaker.org

invest in it......................investors@blackspotsneaker.org

support it........................donations@blackspotsneaker.org

join the jam........................jammers@blackspotsneaker.org

        Make a straight donation... it's a worthy cause 
        with the potential to set an historic precedent 
        that could be repeated in other industries and 
        usher in more grass roots version of capitalism 
        in which megacorps do not control every area of 
        our children's lives.

You dream the angry painter and recollect it below its highway.



has reached its heights
around the world. Oh yeah and one more thing people of the world all
this is not complete you need to learn to analyse to find out more about
the reality of the world on your own.

Though these are my thoughts but they can be wrong, if so you only have
to prove me wrong. May God free the world soon.

Afghanistan war 

Assalam u?Alekum all :) I had a discussion with some good people, what
happened in Afghanistan was definitely not good, but they were given the
opposite idea about the war, hey this is fair to people, creating
another version of inhuman thoughts in the world. People wake up your
minds are being controlled using propaganda. At the same time many
things were not really their choice like the children being bombed etc
thanks to NSA for planting more extremism. After all this at ordinary
level a version of extremism was created around the world where people
would hate each other. But the fact is all this got successful because
all of us forgot the boundaries created by God and thus learned to
justify our thoughts and actions depending on situation. 

You see people (no matter who you are) if you really are people of God
and God is on your side then you don?t need to fear anyone and remove
any future problem against you. The reason being it is your attitude
that will save you from problems, learn to find out why other people are
against you if they are speaking the truth then correct yourself, if
they are wrong then just let them know. Difference should be accepted,
as even in a family two brothers would never think the same. But learn
to be merciful and learn to be just, learn to forgive and learn to let
go, learn not to fear anything else but the unhappiness of God.
 
May God show us the right path and have mercy on us all :), may God end
the days of bad guys and their mind control over humanity sooner.
