A "spoof" pro-nike protest today at The Nike Run London 10k advertising stunt.

Come along and join us in "THE MOST OFFENSIVE" pro nike protest today at the Run London Adverstising Stunt.

--------------------------------------------------

PLEASE FORWARD TO EVERY RUNNER, SPORTS PERSON AND BUSINESSMAN YOU KNOW!!!

In response to the anti-nike protests planned for the finish line of the Nike RUN LONDON advertising stunt we will be organising a counter protest!

Hundreds of troublesome anti-capitalist protesters are heading down to the finish line to protest against Nike's business practices. Screaming and Shouting about sweatshop labour and other foreign issues, like a bunch of lefty morons.

To be honest we are fed up of their whining, it's not as if any of them have got a job, so how can they criticise business? Sweatshops mean cheap labour, Expensive shoes and cheap labour are good for business and the consumer.

There may be a big police presence to stop the anti-capitalists, this will not benefit Nike's image. We intend to be there to support Nike in their hour of need.

The race starts at 7pm
Sunday 28th November
Surrey Quays Tube

then loops back on itself finishing in Southwark Park

Meet 100m from the finish line

Bring banners, props and noise.

(n.b. INCASE YOU HAVE GOT THIS FAR AND NOT GOT THE JOKE, IT IS A SPOOF PROTEST! WE DO NOT ACTUALLY SUPPORT NIKE, THIS WILL ANNOY THEM MORE THAN SUPPORT THEM !-)
