"thrown sideways into a backwards parallel universe"

Here's a little story for you.
A shoe-maker makes a shoe. It's a very pretty shoe indeed. However, when it goes on sale, it's actually a very uncomfortable shoe. Lots of women can't actually fit their feet into this pretty shoe, so, surely, he can't be a very good shoe-maker after all? Surely it means that the shoe is never bought, the reputation is destroyed and the cobbler goes out of business because, after all, what else is a shoe made for than to be worn?
But this is 2008 and it seems it's not the shoe-maker's fault after all, it's the
feet. Of
course. So the feet don't fit the pretty shoe; what options are there?
Foot surgery it seems. Yes, it's true. If the shoe don't fit, fix the foot. I feel almost as if I've been thrown sideways into a backwards parallel universe.
Oh, but fear not. It does all make sense. Honest. That shoe-maker I told you about? It's
Jimmy Choo. Or
Manolo Blahnik. Or countless other magic cobblers. See? It all becomes crystal clear now doesn't it.
