... the fuck? sorry you guys are sometimes just ridiculous. Can't show feet cause women oppose them? Whats going on in your head?

Twitter's fail whale is universally cute and disarming. If some portion of Wave's audience is skeeved out by the maintenance page with unpleasant feet, it needs fixing. (Especially for unplanned maintenance.)

I've now asked four women. They all had the same negative reaction.

It's a little creepy that women are 100% unanimous that feet are creepy. Is it just male feet? That'd be even creepier.

Also IMHO these are just weird feet - the toe next to the big toe, is longer than the big toe :/ Which isn't usual IMHO.

I know many people who have feet like that (mine included).

Wow, I never would have thought but my girlfriend just said the exact same thing. She doesn't like looking at feet and thinks they're gross.

My wife thinks the feet could use improvement. That they're a little creepy and look like something out of Oregon Trail.
