. . .you're still evil.
On the left, the iconic image of Ian MacKaye on the first Minor Threat album cover - a man who, even at the height of his popularity, has never sold a record for more than $10 or charged more than $6 for a show. Nor ever sold his image or music for advertising purposes. On the right, Nike's new ad for their skateboarding tour. Unauthorized, of course.
Update: My good friend Santa gives his excellent analysis of the evil genius behind Nike's ad campaign (scroll down to the second post).
