Oct 23 2007XBox 360 Controller Shoe Is So Very Stupid
Heelys, a company best known for making those f'ing roller shoes that idiot children wear in Wal-Mart, is releasing another stupid product. The Gamer collection features footwear with soles made to resemble video game controllers. And no, they don't freaking work. Making them some of the stupidest shoes ever. Now I'm not saying that the guy who came up with this idea should be taken out and shot, I'm just saying he should be killed in some fashion. I don't care how.
Heelys shoe hates your eyes, loves your Xbox 360 [engadget, thanks to C-Nasty for the tip]

My kid is one of those skating in Walmart. Next time we're there, I'm going to insist that he start at the end of the aisle and aim for you. You're probably one of those bastards that takes 50 items to the "20 items or less" checkout lane. Walmart managers being pissed at me for letting my kid skate in their store is like a gift from God. They didn't give an eff when I complained about their not enforcing the checkout lane RULES so I just smile really sweet and say some condescending bullshit when they ask me not to let my son skate in their store. Life is good, there is a God. All Hail Passive-Aggressive behaviior.

I honestly have to say that, while I don't like this shoe and would never buy it, I see worse stuff regularly at the local Foot Locker.

@woodhorse

DEATH TO HEELEYS

These are hideous, but heelys are even worse. Woodhorse, at least the employees of Walmart can take solace in the fact that they only tell you that to ensure that they'll win the case if you try and sue them once your child crashes into a display of something and brings it down on top of his or her self. We really couldn't care less what your children do, and deep down: We're praying they will hurt themselves, preferably somewhere that we can watch.

To woodhorse: I'm one of those Walmart managers. When we tell your kids to stop skating, running or playing in our stores, its for SAFETY reasons. Your dumbass kid with the wheelies plows into a stackbase and knocks over a display of knives, it's our fault right. When the RULES state no skating, it's just because we feel like being spoil sports.
You passive agressive asshat.

WAL-MART SUX.......ALL HAIL TO TARGET!!!!!!!!

And your RULES include letting some white trash trailer 'tard have her perfectly healthy 15 year old drive the motorized shopping cart around and around and around in a circle almost hitting several people and you never said a word to them. Yes, Walmart is the Gestapo. And since my kid doesn't fall outside, he isn't likely to fall in "your" store.
Here's a tip: if you actually work at Walmart, it would be a good idea not to tell anyone. Have you noticed the people who work there?

lol, <woodhorse. i think "walmartdrudge" is just power hungry seince being promoted from the tard at the door with the highliter. "let me see your ticket"

Yes... I'll have to agree with woodhorse...walmart employees are a pecuilar type. The tenticles and smelly ooze they leave behind in their trails.... not...a pretty sight.
