Girls vs Boys Old Skool

Nike is a strong independent brand, it pushes you to the limit, inspires you to be competitive, and knows who to reach. Thats why, I think the Nike+ idea is brilliant. In 2006 Nike started making trainers with space for a Nike+ data chip. Information of the run is transmitted wirelessly to an ipod, which can then be downloaded to a computer. Nike+ online has set up an online competition of men vs women. If you are sporty, as I am, you'll no doubt be faced with a girls vs boys game, which the girls will probably anihilate the boys....

Men and Women around the world will compete online in three categories: total km, av km per runner, and most km run by an individual in a 24 hour period. I think this will work really well- as long as the right people are targetted. The super athletic, super competitive individuals.

Here is the ad for Men vs Women.

Bye Bye Banksy

This past Saturday in London, just off Oxford Street saw the last moments of a famous Banky. 'One Nation Under CCTV' was stenciled on a Royal Mail building in London's West End. Perhaps one of Banksy's most well known artworks, the Westminister Council just cannot seem to tell the difference between artwork and graffiti. Isn't artwork suppossed to elicit emotions, send a message, and create joy? And don't you sometimes feel these things when looking at well drawn graffiti? So would Banksy be classified as artwork or grafitti?

Luckily I found out Banksy's famous artwork/graffiti was being torn down through the Banksy fanpage on Facebook. My boyfriend was in the area and took some pictures of the 'demolition'. I was lucky enough to stumple upon it last week and witness it with no scaffolding. And I love Banksy's work so much, I was honoured to have just randomly run into it.
