Leather SPKs. Needless killing of cows?

Personally I think the leather makes them look shit, makes them heavier and makes skiers look like they've totally given into snowboard culture in a tacky copycat kind of way. No style about the design, just whimsy tacky bollocks.
So to any Salomon market research people reading this post... Please change for next season.
More thoughts below.

Not sure if anyone made this point already, but if it was real leather, they would probably cost 1000 bucks for that much ice/snow/abuse resistant leather.

and eating dairy is just as bad as eating meat too. vegetarians are pussys. go vegan. I guess if you like blood and puss with your milk though...

I've heard this before... and I just can't imagine a more immature and pointless comment on this topic.
It's not as if vegetarians just can't "man up" enough to eat meat. It doesn't take a badass to eat it... it takes a mouth and teeth... fucking wow... I have those!
Personally, I'm not a vegetarian. I rarely eat red meats, but that's because I simply don't like them. It's not a moral choice... I just don't like the way it tastes. I don't eat a lot of dairy, although I do eat poultry.
As far as moral vegetarians... I see where they're coming from, without a doubt. There are some sickening sights to be seen. It's usually enough to keep me from eating meat for 2 or so weeks... but in the end, I wind up having turkey sandwich and forgetting about it, unfortunately.

Oh... and my previous post was not directed at Goonther... just the statement in the context in which it is generally spoken.
