And what "Glen Beck is as crazy as batshit" did for a sophomoric non-journalist neanderthal luddite.IE Sold sold sold -- out?

Do I think a can make you jump higher?

And the New York Times reports:

"For the founders of a fledgling athletic-shoe company, there is only one thing better for business than having an N.B.A. star endorse your new shoes: have the league say the shoes will not be allowed on its courts at all.

That is what has happened to Athletic Propulsion Labs, maker of a $300 shoe that the company says allows basketball players to instantly jump higher, thanks to a springlike device hidden near the front of the shoe. 

“In terms of marketing, this is probably the greatest thing that could have happened to our company, because it basically blew us up overnight,” said Adam Goldston, one of the company’s 23-year-old twin co-founders.

“And it validates the claim,” added his brother, Ryan. 

According to the N.B.A., league rules forbid equipment designed to give a competitive advantage, and that would include a spring-loaded shoe. The league said it notified the company last week that the shoes would not be permitted. 

“No player has asked to wear these shoes, so it’s a nonissue,” the N.B.A. spokeswoman Kristin Conte said. “However, we determined that they don’t conform to our rules, based on the company’s representation of what they do.”
