Yep. Those of us who don't eat meat have known this for years, but no one wants to hear it.

Even Alexandra "Great Wall"-ace had the decency to say "I don't know what possessed me to post that."

Everyone knows that an apology phrased "if anyone took offense" is not an actual apology. Kat is not sorry for what she wrote (and it was really insensitive), she is sorry that people did not like the insensitive three sentences that she wrote.

Agreed, a better solution. She's the worst writer on Giz.

That exclusion was one of the early revisions. This was seriously one of the worst, most blatantly insensitive posts ever.

What she said was that if you needed this, you failed at life — and also at death. The original post was insanely rude and I don't buy her apology for a minute. It was not funny at all and if she thought it was she should really steer clear of humor. She said that anyone who needed it should save the $15 and just get…

Not much of an edit. Did not improve it at all.

Wait, this is the CORRECTED version? Who does Kat blow to keep this gig?

Soo much cheaper to spend the $15 paying someone to help you.

Wow. And you actually tagged it "crap." I hope you never need these, Kat. You are a first class twat.

Second. She does not check facts and she generally shows herself to be an insensitive moron. Seriously, Giz editors, pull this piece of shit article. Some people actually DO need help pulling up socks. A gadget helps them live more independently.

That is so fucking cool.

No, not a shame at all that it will never see the light of day. Except that it probably will.

Holy shit.

Do any of the Giz staff actually ride bicycles?

I always give the White House zip code or say "I can't remember."

Holy long wheelbase!

@Zanzan42: Indeed. Goddamn.

@hypno_toad: Agreed. Blech.

@buttnugget: High end bicycles don't usually come with pedals. People in this market already have their favorite pedals.
