You all realize that the next step is to convince clothiers to pay him NOT to buy their stuff...

This is hilarious. I'm guessing it's satire?

Reminds me of when I was a kid and my friends and I couldn't afford Nike Airs... we took a silicone gun from my friend's garage (his dad was in construction) and layered silicone on the bottom of our shoes to create the "air pocket."

If it was just one, I would think it was just a misguided, delusional guy. This is obviously satire.

Give him a break, this is the same guy who said he expects good shoes to last 50 years. :crackup:

I've been under the assumption that for some reason f corbera is actually vox. Am I mistaken?


Completely different people. Vox just dresses like Corbs.

Iroh is funny as hell. I love the way he started with darning a filthy sock with a huge hole and people fell for it.

But I think we have a major problem; is Iroh joking? I mean he can't actually be serious—dye, acetone, and finish can be had for like, 15 dollars. A can of spray paint is what, 4 dollars. Do you wouldn't pay an extra 11 dollars to actually not kill your shoes? He spray painted them—has this guy never seen Goldfinger?????? And those women were alive, with functional respiratory systems, this is dead leather, and he just sealed it shut with toxic chemicals. This has got to be a joke, right??

Also, have we concluded why parts of the images are cut out.

I also almost had a heart attack when I saw the picture of the cutting knife next to C&J shoes.

And the gloves— it looks like he murdered somebody whilst wearing yellow suede gloves, and then let the blood coagulate. That is what it looks like.
