Nike



Just do it!! The picture was the product of a three-hour photoshoot by an unnamed photographer and was the brainchild jointly of Nike executives and their advertising agency Wieden and Kennedy. Drenched in blood-red paint and screaming a war-cry, this chilling image of Wayne Rooney in England's 2006 World Cup campaign was condemned as 'offensive', 'exploitative' and 'tacky' by MPs and church groups (as it was considered to be a deliberate echo of Christ's crucifixion) though according to Nike it was nothing more than the England flag... What is your take on this? Do share your review in the comments section.
