there is no counterculture as any countercultural gesture is too quickly coopted

the only "counterculture" proper i can think of today are the amish...

btw the no logo or black spot running shoe from adbusters has a point, which i think has been missed in this thread-- the point was to create a "cool" environmental & socially responsible shoe as opposed to sweatshop-manufactured a la nike-- it's been one of the pet projects of the magazine and has been in development for years.
