The image I used for this blog could quite possibly be photo shopped, but I appreciate the bold sense of irony and how it's representation stands similar to the article we read on "My Nike Media Adventure". Yes, I understand that some people may feel offended toward this article in the defense of the people we may see as victims, viewing it as their only means for survival, but do they see the irony in this? This makes me wonder for the Nike factory workers, those laboring for a company that is surprisingly still getting away with supporting slavery, but advertising freedom... ironic, eh? To me, it's about as cheap as our president obtaining a nobel peace prize, while currently at war and announcing that there's more war to come, when there is no shred of evidence to be found to justify the suffering of others that we are causing. Where is freedom when no equality is to be found? How can we claim that there is freedom when poverty is amongst us, while higher corporations profit off the misfortune of others, rather than using the funds to better support those in labor by helping grant others the equal opportunities that they deserve as people of this earth? How do some people sleep at night? Did anyone even listen to Martin Luther King? Did his message, as well as others alike, ever actually get through to people? If so, the numbers of which the message did not seem to get through is depressing. I believe that if more people than less listened, understood, or cared at all then the world would be very different today.
