Nike asks Chinese government to track down blogger

[almostwitty]

From the hypocrisy and you-couldn't-make-it-up department: Nike have enlisted the help of the Chinese government to track down a blogger who made anti-Nike comments.

So freedom of speech? Human rights? Naaa, who needs it when companies use Communist-era government controls to stifle people's thoughts?

I began to hate Nike years ago after seeing Michael Moore's "The Big One". If you haven't seen it, you should. The owner from that time was an arrogant rich bastard who cared only about the profit bottom line, and nothing else involving the rights of the people making his products. (Yeah, I know, he's like every other corporate bigwig alive) I don't think he's still head these days, but I never quite got over it.
