As for the shoes I found this: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9407E2DF123CF933A25757C0A961958260 Apparently they intended it to look like flames. No, I don't much buy that either, but in any case they have already recalled them all. I have long boycotted Nike anyway because of their labor practices - as in outsourcing to slave labor overseas.
As for Coca Cola... well, I can't read arabic, but considering that the logo comes from a Georgia (US) guy in 1885, and is perfect longhand - I think it's a bit of a stretch, but I also boycott coke and have for years. Not for that reason, though, but because of unfair business practices overseas. Anyway - that's the update. The shoe thing is all finished thanks to CAIR and the coke thing.. to me, is questionable. I don't even know what to say about the tank top! That one threw me, too.. sheesh! :-) S. K. wrote: > > > Shah N.
