This story about a bloke trying to get his Nike shoes personalised with the word "sweatshop" has been doing the rounds a fair bit recently. It does make me wonder how stupid Nike think people are. They really are getting quite offensive. I hadn’t heard that second story until this morning. Of course, they’re not the only ones. Adidas came under the spotlight in the Mark Thomas Product last series, and found themselves face to face with some rather bright schoolkids. The schoolkids have since set up their own website dealing with the issue of human rights in a global economy ruled by money-grabbing bastards. Give it a look. Teenagers often surprise because they go with what their hearts tell them rather than getting stuck in the grey areas.
