Wank? In my snark comm?
It's more likely than you think.

So, over at ugly_crap on LJ, the comm members amuse themselves by doing the equivalent of telling ghost stories: finding the ugliest/most tasteless products possible and snarking them. Most of the time, things are pretty quiet there - it's quite rare that commenters disagree with the OP's judgement, and when it happens, it's usually pretty civil.

But when moira_aoibheane posts these high heels for babies, things get a little messy.

We have accusations that commenters have no sense of humour, cries of misogyny, and your standard "This isn't funny!" "That's because you have no sense of humour!" "ZOMG U JUST INSULTED MY SENSE OF HUMOUR U H00R!".

And, because no wank would be complete without it: invocation of Godwin's Law for absolutely no reason at all!

Small, but tasty.

You know, I could be wrong about this, but I get the impression that they're the kind of baby shoes that are meant to hang from your rear-view mirror. In other words, they're "baby shoes" in name only.

Sadly, no. At least not according to the press-release-masquerading-as-a-newsreport I heard on the radio. The designer got the idea at her daughter's first birthday party. Apparently she thought putting her infant in high-heels would be hilarious (hence the name of the shoes)

I immediately thought of the wank this product would produce and was counting down the time until it appeared here.
