If an idea doesn't come from the right people or groups within a company, it's not only as if the product should NOT EXIST, but forces within the company tend to materialize to deliberately PREVENT the product from existing because an ego and being right is more important than money and economic survival, and there is no way to prove an unmade product would have been successful regardless of external (or internal) pressure, therefore NOT making something can always be considered the right thing to have done; conversely (pun purely incidental), the failure of the most obviously stupid product made by a company will always be blamed on other internal departments or the consumer himself. So get your thousand signatures--you could get a million and it probably would make no difference. It is the VERY rare company that listens to its customers, and, truth be told, most companies and management "teams" sit in the isolated stratosphere, arrogantly looking down upon the little customers they so detest--how odd, considering a company's income comes from, well, guess who? And the same holds true for publishers and toy companies, among others. There ARE always exceptions though, and hope springs eternal. -- Steven Martin Cohen I’ve been a product developer for over 40 years, and if I’ve learned one thing, it’s that there is NO connection between external product demand and what many companies will allow themselves to make to serve that external demand.

Same color layout but a slightly different sole; more sport than waffle iron. I got mine for $19. These were available at the Gap.
