Haha! Yes, guilty as charged. I think my comment when I saw them was "what are those ugly things up there? how much will you sell them for?" I agree with you about the palm too, I figure it lasts a month tops and then I get it re-palmed with a normal material you'd actually expect to see on a hockey glove. The price I got them for though, I could have paid to have them re-palmed right away and still had them for under $100. :)
