A coworker from many years ago taught me it's usually easier to apologize than to ask permission. Maybe that guy works at Nike now. They've certainly already gotten their money's worth.

Really, it was all a big misunderstanding.
They were paying a homage to Minor threat and Discord.
Can you not forgive them?

wow. despite the crappy photoshopping, some of

those

were pretty funny. brought back many forgotten

album

covers, from the days when there were, like, album
covers. i really liked the throbbing teletubbies.

i somewhat agree with todd. to me the thing about
major threat is it will get some folks who would
ordinarily be anti-IP to get all worked up about

minor

threat's IP. And it will put a heavily branded
corporation in the position of being anti-IP.

strange.

anyway, yeah, the thing about culture jamming is

that

it works two ways and the "reverse" direction is
usually gonna have more horsepower and effect. i

can't

think of anything about the right wing's pr these

days

that doesn't draw heavily from avant garde leftist
aesthetics of the early 20th century. and i think

that

was one lesson many latter 20th century

post-leftists

were trying to impart. culture jamming for the

left

ends up being just a list of entertainingly

detourned

album covers. throbbing teletubbies, chortle,

hyuck!

not that minor threat had anything to do with the
left. or sometimes they did, if you remember

"meese is

a pig." it's just all mixed up.

talk about the days of album covers, glenn boothe

was

on the air today.
