WIN! Zappos.com responds to Kanye West’s ‘sh-t product’ comment
Zappos.com, an online retailer that generally deals more with footwear and less with humor, won the Internetz today.
The episode began on Monday when Kanye West commented that Zappos.com CEO, Tony Hsieh, tries to sell “all this sh-t product to everybody, his whole thing is based off of selling sh-t product.”
Rather than issue a bland statement mitigating the argument, the folks over at Zappos took the opportunity to list a new item they’ve had in the works for a while, Sh-t Product!
The Sh-t Product description says it all: “Interested in buying sh-t product? You’ve come to the right place! Here at Zappos.com, we happily sell sh-t products to everybody! This is the throne, everyone has been watching. Whether you’re #1 or #2, your clique will show no mercy, even in Paris.”
As for additional product information, Zappos says Sh-t Product is a perfect gift for the man who has it all, requires lots of “focus” for most productive use, is considered a “safety zone” when in arguments and makes giant arguments seem much smaller. However, two precautions are suggested: Do not use near a fan and avoid storms.
So far, the reviews for Sh-t Product have been excellent.
“Yo Zappos! Imma let you finish… But this is the best Sh-t Product of all time,” one satisfied customer wrote.
Another user said, “I don’t get why you’re getting dumped on so bad, its a really stinky situation. I’m a proud owner of a lot of Zappos crap but the ‘Zappos.com Gear Shizz Product’ is definitely my NUMBER 2 favorite item ever. It really just smears the competition. I’m sure the customer service lines are clogged with orders so I suggest anyone who is holding back, buy before its wiped out.”
If you want a Sh-t Product of your own, there is a flat $100,000 charge. No additional sh-tting shipping costs!
