Singapore, Duxton Hill - Further Research into the LFR Technology, or Light Footwear Research, has been abandoned. According to sources, reasons for the halting of further research is the realisation of the futility of the eventual outcome and that such advances in technology is way beyond our time. "Maybe in another 5 years we might reconsider taking LFR Technology of the shelf and resuming research, but at the moment, advances in Nuclear Fusion and Atomic Energy Control has not reached the stage where LFR would be feasible", said Corey aka Fuck Ass when asked about the reason for the sudden turn around.
Their development has however at this moment completed production of some prototype models which despite being only in their infant test stage has shown innovation and the possibilities that this research could harvest. Here on the page you can see the two two LFR developments before the halting of all research, the one on the left, the "X1000-Ass Extreme" and the one on the right, the "X1000L-Ass King". Has garnered mush interest from the slipper production company, Golden Globe, wanting to mass produce the design as a mass produced slipper for the masses. But Corey aka Fuck_Ass, main developer for the LFR Technology was outraged at the idea. "This is state of the art Technology and they want to market it to th public", he protested indignantly after refusing their offer for an undisclosed amount of money. He is however hoping to receive offers from the military to purchase these models for the troops. "Though still unfinished in development, I'm hoping someone will be able to use the technology to date", a member of the research team said.
At the closing ceremony held on the 16th of February 1998, a teary eyed Corey said, "Maybe, one day people will understand what I was trying to achieve, and just how ahead of it's time this LFR Technology was, but until then we will have to just remain always hoping for the day."
