Tread On Me

New York City has a population of 8.3 million people. So, statistically speaking, it is not at all surprising that at least two guys like to pretend they are carpet:

A man walks into a bar. He's carrying a carpet under his arm. He wraps himself in the carpet, lies on the floor, covers his face and waits for people to step on him. A sign taped to the bar reads: "Step on carpet."

People step on the carpet -- dozens, in fact. The more people who step on the carpet, particularly if they are women in heels, the happier the man is. Some are timid, others are audacious. Some dance on the man. Some step on him while ordering their drinks, completely unaware that a live body is underfoot. Some just stand there, frozen, looking totally freaked out.

For the record, I'd totally step on this guy. Might even give it a good jump because that's the kind of bastard I am. Also, I respect this guy more than furries. Just saying that, as far as sexual fetishes go, I can comprehend this one.

Title shamelessly stolen from the MeFi post.

I don't know, I think furries make more sense, but I an can see this one too. Just worried about him getting kicked in the head. I skimmed the article and missed it if it mentioned that sensitive areas of his body are protected, or if he lays face down or up. He puts a thin layer of padding on his chest at least, but is that too protect from the floor cause he is face down? But then the woman with the heels in his face make me think he is face up...
I want to be a chair or a table! Or maybe a lamp, I would be a good lamp, in a coffee shop or something maybe...I would be clap on clap off, with dimmer options, and voice activated: "illuminate".

Both companies have agreed in terms to distribute the brand through December 2009, with a renewal period by Dec 2012. The product line includes men's coats, denim jackets, and synthetic fleece.
