"The Anti-Gravity Boots are gentle on joints and bones" and I'm Superman

Do you feel like inflicting some damage to your own body in an uncontrolled and extremely dangerous way? Well, for those of you who like their bodies as they are and are not in the mood for a visit to the hospital, this piece of news is not for you.

For the rest of you, there are the Anti-Gravity Boots, which will surely cause some old-school damage, if not to your body, than surely to some objects around the house.

Although they are called Anti-Gravity, don't expect anything remotely close. These are some ordinary boots fitted with springs that allow you to hop around, in "an uncontrolled way", as the description says.

"The Anti-Gravity Boots are gentle on joints and bones", they say. This might be, but what about tripping over and breaking your teeth? I doubt that's gentle. Not to mention other parts of your body that are likely to suffer from all that anti-gravity. Hey, but at least the only stains on the floor will be made by your body, stuff like blood and teeth. That's because the ski-type boots have treads that don't mark the floor. Hooray!

The boots are also a fantastic calorie burning tool, but I warn you: you'll be burning calories for a limited period of time, until you break the first thing in your body. After that, it's back to getting fat. You can't work out when you can't get off the bed.

But there's also good news. The online store also says that the boots are adjustable to fit most shoe sizes and are best worn with trainers, so you won't have any issues there. Hooray again!

However, if you still want to purchase the Anti-Gravity Boots, you should know that they are priced at approximately 100 pounds, or 180 dollars, and that they will be available somewhere towards the end of June.
