Amazon shoe reviews go political

[delphipsmith]

Those excellent hot pink tennis shoes Wendy Davis wore for her marathon filibuster? You can buy them on Amazon. Which means you can post reviews of them on Amazon. Which people are:

"If you live in North Dakota, make sure you purchase these within the first six weeks of your running program or you will be prohibited from purchasing them. It's for the safety of the shoes."

"The next time you have to spend 13 hours on your feet without food, water or bathroom breaks, this is the shoe for you. Guaranteed to outrun patriarchy on race day."

Go. Read. Cheer.

I have been giggling over this quite a bit. What a brilliant way to show ironic solidarity1

Yay! And yay also ro Amazon for not censoring them! So many companies censor reviews, leaving out words or phrases that may possibly offend anyone somewhere in the known universe. I'm looking at YOU, Nordstrom!

These had me in stitches. I do love the tenor of political satire in the age of the interwebz and online product reviews!
