I know this has nothing to do with Audis, but... well, I think
the company in question is Reebok, not Nike.  And the name
of the shoe was Incubus, not Succubus.  Which is particularly
appalling, since the shoe was a woman's running shoe, and since
an incubus is the gender-opposite of a succubus.  Reebok... the
shoe that rapes women while they sleep.  Another marketing whiz
is being shown to the door, hopefully.
