Yes, folks, apparently the Gravity Defyer shoe company, trying to think of an eye-catching logo for it's product, has come up with this:
This is NOT photoshopped. You can find this on the company's web page if you don't believe me.

Clair-eece? Air they high??
ReplyDeleteDamn, I sure hope that's Depo-Provera they're injecting into that shoe; this stupid shit does not need to be reproducing.
ReplyDeleteIs that a sperm on the side of the shoe?
ReplyDeleteIt looks alarmingly like a sperm...
ReplyDeleteSperm aren't defying gravity if you're both lying down.
ReplyDeleteAssuming they don't make women's shoes. Because we have enough trouble keeping the sperm out--I doubt any woman would wear them on her shoes.
ReplyDeleteCome into your local shoe store and try a pair today!
ReplyDeleteA truly seminal development in athletic footwear.

ReplyDelete"yes, their logo is a sperm. I couldn’t believe it,so I had to ask the inventor what the logo was. He indignantly told me “It’s a sperm”. It represents “the seed of life!”!"
These shoes look like cheaper Z-coils with heel coverings, but using that logo is very beeeezarre and sexist. huh.
ReplyDeleteAnd you think your patients are crazy
ReplyDeleteerin- but they could if they wanted to and were wearing the shoes. also, ...use your imagination...
ReplyDelete*singing* Every shoe is saaaa-cred....
ReplyDeleteSince when are anabolic steroids represented by sperm? I'd like to know where they are meant to be worn. I can't imagine wearing them in the gym, or by women. And, what kind of man would wear them? I'm predicting an aggressive ad campaign or they'll end up in Big Lots and Goodwill.
ReplyDeleteYea, we kids wore old sneakers when we swam at the lake, but these shoes probably cost a pretty penny to be wearing at the lake.
At least they're not Treponema pallidum, or Candida.
ReplyDeleteNo one's going to sue the company for plagiarism of the logo on a shoe.
The syringe in the ad is creepy. PenG shots are ginormous (and indicated for treponema), but for those with nightmares about needles and syringes, the ad does evokes an 'eek' Pavlovian response when imagining a big shot in the tip of the big toe.
@Jo- I am rolling around on the ground under my desk laughing...
ReplyDeleteEvery sperm is great!
If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate!

Maybe it's a tadpole.
ReplyDeleteThe reason i think so is my friend's ex-boyfriend's nona used to tell a story about her eating tadpole back in Sicily but instead of saying tadpole, she said "I had to eat sperm, from the stream." in her sweet old Sicilian lady accent...
So, maybe the creator doesn't know the difference, or i pretend that's the true story because the real story is weird.
At least tadpole on steroids will grow up to be a muscular frog with extra jumping power. maybe.
I like the story of the muscular frogs, would be what frog sellers might want to sell and it fits in with the local summer author series at the public library; Samuel Clemens.
