Nike now lets you personalize your shoes by submitting a word or
phrase which they will stitch onto your shoes, under the swoosh. So
Jonah Peretti filled out the form and sent them $50 to stitch
"sweatshop" onto his shoes.
Here's the responses he got... fun and games with Nike...

Subject: RE: Your NIKE iD order o16468000
Your NIKE iD order was cancelled for one or more of the following
reasons:
1) Your Personal iD contains another party's trademark or other
intellectual property 2) Your Personal iD contains the name of an
athlete or team we do not have the legal right to use 3) Your Personal
iD was left blank. Did you not want any personalization? 4) Your
Personal iD contains profanity or inappropriate slang, and besides, your
mother would slap us.
If you wish to reorder your NIKE iD product with a new
personalization please visit us again at www.nike.com
Thank you, NIKE iD

Greetings,
My order was canceled but my personal NIKE iD does not violate any of
the criteria outlined in your message. The Personal iD on my custom
ZOOM XC USA running shoes was the word "sweatshop." Sweatshop is not:1)
another's party's trademark, 2) the name of an athlete, 3) blank, or 4)
profanity. I choose the iD because I wanted to remember the toil and
labor of the children that made my shoes. Could you please ship them to
me immediately.
Thanks and Happy New Year, Jonah Peretti

Dear NIKE iD Customer,
Your NIKE iD order was cancelled because the iD you have chosen
contains, as stated in the previous e-mail correspondence,
"inappropriate slang". If you wish to reorder your NIKE iD product with
a new personalization please visit us again at nike.com
Thank you, NIKE iD

Dear NIKE iD,
Thank you for your quick response to my inquiry about my custom
ZOOM XC USA running shoes. Although I commend you for your prompt
customer service, I disagree with the claim that my personal iD was
inappropriate slang. After consulting Webster's Dictionary, I
discovered that "sweatshop" is in fact part of standard English, and not
slang. The word means: "a shop or factory in which workers are employed
for long hours at low wages and under unhealthy conditions" and its
origin dates from 1892. So my personal iD does meet the criteria
detailed in your first email.
Your web site advertises that the NIKE iD program is "about freedom to
choose and freedom to express who you are." I share Nike's love of
freedom and personal expression. The site also says that "If you want
it done right...build it yourself." I was thrilled to be able to build
my own shoes, and my personal iD was offered as a small token of
appreciation for the sweatshop workers poised to help me realize my
vision. I hope that you will value my freedom of expression and
reconsider your decision to reject my order.
Thank you, Jonah Peretti

Dear NIKE iD Customer,
Regarding the rules for personalization it also states on the NIKE
iD web site that "Nike reserves the right to cancel any personal iD up
to 24 hours after it has been submitted". In addition, it further
explains: "While we honor most personal iDs, we cannot honor every one.
Some may be (or contain) other's trademarks, or the names of certain
professional sports teams, athletes or celebrities that Nike does not
have the right to use. Others may contain material that we consider
inappropriate or simply do not want to place on our products.
Unfortunately, at times this obliges us to decline personal iDs that may
otherwise seem unobjectionable. In any event, we will let you know if
we decline your personal iD, and we will offer you the chance to submit
another." With these rules in mind, we cannot accept your order as
submitted. If you wish to reorder your NIKE iD product with a new
personalization please visit us again at www.nike.com
Thank you, NIKE iD

Dear NIKE iD,
Thank you for the time and energy you have spent on my request. I
have decided to order the shoes with a different iD, but I would like to
make one small request. Could you please send me a color snapshot of
the ten-year-old Vietnamese girl who makes my shoes?
Thanks, Jonah Peretti

I normally avoid making a plea to pass on these things, but this
time I say:
JUST DO IT
I'm back, after some frantic typing in my Multimedia class :)
Anoop..
Yes, my name is Jonathan..
Me and Simon are (about to start) designing the Cult of the Rusty Spoon website. This will be just a general geek hangout with reviews, tips, downloads, articles etc. We will also offer WebMail, ie [email protected]. At present, the only complete section is the forums, which will be finalised when we decide on a colour scheme. I'm busy working on a logo at home, and simon is coming up with ideas for articles etc...
Good morning everyone!!!
btw Simon...I WILL win anyway...you may as well face it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its 3:00 - hello katie...

Then afternoon to you both! I've seen several smiles out of you recently Simon....I know I will win!

So hows everything?
not bad thanks,
u ok? - hows erin?
Everything is wonderful! How about you? It's a beautiful, clear, crisp 55 degrees here this morning....I have a great cup of coffee and there are only about two other people at work so far so it's quiet!
Erin is feeling better for now. She has her surgery scheduled for next month though...she's a little nervous but looking forward to feeling 100% again!
everything will be fine. she wont enjoy it, but you'll love her back to health again. I can feel your mum vibes all the way across the atlantic...
Hehehe...my husband said that he was going to ask the doctor if he would give me a tranquilizer too when they put Erin out for her surgery. I'll be fine actually...I have to be...I don't want to scare Erin.
Surgery?!?!?!?!?!
She's having her tonsils out!
Good morning Parksie...
Afternoon Katie + everyone else :)
I'm going in a bit...need to sort out this evening -- watching the second leg Liverpool v Roma at the pub with some friends.
Have a good time! Watch out for hangovers!
Hi Everybody!
Hi Dennis. How's it going?
Sorry Guys, but Ianpbaker got the 6000th post
because 150*40 = 6000
there are 40 posts on each thread, and page 150 so Ianpbaker is the offical holder of the 6000th post
or I may be wrong
How do you get pictures/animations to appear under your username?
goto PROFILE:
Hi everybody... again...
I just had to go pick up my new glasses, and wait for my dad and my brother to get off the computer :mad:...
how are y'all?
Thanx Dimava
So Pix...when are you going to see your new avatari??
Are you a pixie or a pixel or a picture???
I'm a pixie
Cool!!! Can I borrow some Pixie dust??
Yep! What colour?
What would you use it for?
I could probably name a hundred things that you would use it for... but I shouldn't just assume like that ;)
Pink of course....
I would use some to make Erin all better for starters...from there...you'll just have to let your imagination run wild....as I'm sure it already has!!!!!!!!
;-)
The great thing about pixie dust is that you can use it for almost anything :)
Does your mom/wife get angry when you track Pixie dust into the house?
No my mom is fine about it as long as it's pink ! Don't think she'd be too happy if it was a different colour though! :)
Euuuughhhh pink. Green is much better :)
that would be for leprauchans Dennis....pink for Pixies.
Well, I am a leprachaun, lassie... soon as I find me pot o gold at the end o the rainbow I'll proove it.
