    This-has-been-up-before-but-they've-added-a-new-boot-now.

    The-blurb:

    For years the old pattern went on. People were jaded by megacorporate
    control of so much of their lives, but couldn't see how they might take some power back. We decided to launch the counterattack. The result is the world's first global anti-brand: Blackspot Shoes. Made from organic, vegetarian, and recycled materials in a Portuguese union shop, everything about Blackspots, from their red toe tips and hand-drawn anti-logos to their renegade billboards and TV ads, is designed to do one thing: kick megacorporate ass. We're going to cut into Nike's market share, unswoosh their tired old swoosh and give birth to a new kind of cool in the sneaker industry.

    Join us. Buy a pair and become a voting shareholder in The Blackspot Anticorporation. Your ongoing involvement is critical. Together, we'll revolutionize footwear, and then move on to "Blackspot" other industries — Big Music, fast food, coffee shops, clothing. Marrying a passion for social activism with grassroots antipreneurial zeal, we'll rearrange the ugly face of corporate capitalism.
