The red shoe diaries

It has recently come to my attention that amateur phone sexologist Salman Khan endorses Red Tape shoes:

Try walking a mile in his shoes

Khan launched the new collection from Red Tape… In sync with international fashion trends, Red Tape shoes spell attitude and are a style statement for all those who wear them. [Link]

Oh, they make a style statement, all right:

  • You have to apply to own them
  • There’s an 18-year waiting list
  • You have to bribe a salesman to get them
  • Communists prefer them
  • The pair delivered is always the wrong size
  • They trip you up when you wear them
  • They breed in darkness
  • You can’t discard them, you can only add to your collection

The Dutch like wooden shoes, Sicilians wear concrete shoes, but India Shines in Red Tape shoes. A spokesman said:

Added Mr. Pant, “… There are synergies between himself and the Red Tape brand and he is the right fit, we believe.” [Link]

Man, talk about bad branding. First of all, where’s Mr. Sandal? And second, I think you’ll agree that Khan makes a better spokesman for Blackbuck Jerky.

  1. If you must know, I nearly bought a pair of Red Tape shoes this spring break (there is nothing to do in Do-buy, but buy stuff) till I saw Salman Khan trying to convince me that soon my style will be the same as his style. Nothankyou, I said to that. Yeah, I’ll take my bucks (pun intended) elsewhere. Now, if some other Salmaan were to try convincing me, I would’ve even snapped up fuschia flipflops two sizes too large at a moments notice. Alas, Mr. Pant is wearing the trousers around the marketing department at Red Tape shoes.

  2. Salman needs some giant sized feet to fill those giant sized shoes to kick him in his “giant” sized head!

  3. I will still ignore Salman Khan and wear Red Tape. Very very good quality shoes they are.

  4. I just decided to cut to the shoejoke googlepage and found that your joke is not as stupid as mine:

    Why does George W Bush ask that his women wear Red Tape Shoes?

    The FBI has an easier time screwing them.

    Anyway I’m accepting applications for shoehumor-mongers.
