I understand that Nike are generally seen as a big totalitarian corporation who must be oppose unless you fancy buying one of their products.
However, an organisation called the Nike Foundation has been brought to my attention and I would dealy love to hear some feedback on it.

It is dedicated to the advancement of girls as a solution to world problems.
This is an interesting if stirring video promoting the idea.

Simply Awesome. :)
I soooo wish I had made that video. Technically it is well edited, has superb production values, the script is clever and the idea simply ROCKS!

That one is awesome too!
Now I know why Brown, Blair, Bush, heck even Obama are all wasting our time and money...
They are are all boys! ;)
Seriously - if we spent just a fraction of the money we waste on futile wars in the way advocated by these two videos what a world we could have! :) Thank you both for sharing.
