I just walked out of the subway here (the transport system, not the restaurant), and going up the escalator in front of me was a girl wearing a pair of shoes that looked very familiar.

Did anyone know this brand existed, and have you noticed that their logo reminds you of something?

Back in the day (probably about 10 years back now) when our website's url was kangaroos.com.au, it was common to get directed to their footwear website whose domain was kangaroos.com, if you forgot the .au.

Used to shit me up the wall when I mistyped the address and got sent there instead.

Fwiw, they are ugly shoes and you should feel bad if you wear them.

I hear ye yah. I used to have the same problem when wanting to check out redtune.com, with the "n" being so close to the "b" on the keyboard. Well, that's the story I'm sticking to anyway.

Mate, I feel your pain. A few years ago I wanted to do some research on a few Port Adelaide players for supercoach so I tried to log on to their official supporter site - porthub.com - but instead got a heap of information about what I assume was the Crows players, because Graham Johncock's name kept coming up. Was strange.

Yes, I am not sure if they are a German brand, but they have been around in the 80/90 in Germany. Not so much recently, but might be a retro thing now.

Reminds me of a German guy who decapitated his ex-girlfriend and took nude photos of her corpse and severed head... and yes the photos are on the web somewhere if you are curious...
Jeez. Think I'll just stick to 'mistakenly' surfing porn sites thanks.......

I actually never heard this story. Nearly as disturbing as the cannibal guy and his "victim" who met on the web and arranged a "special" meeting. The rest I spare you... Also German. We do breed some weird people...

Armin Miewes.

Disturbing is a catastrophic understatement.
