Orangatang Bushings

These are the most inappropriate bushings I own.  Orangatang Nipples.  Why would they name them that? Another question I have is  what am I missing about the logo?  Are those eyes?  Are they Nipples?  Nipples would make more sense because why would the be called nipples and have eyes on them for a logo?  But if that is the case, why would the nipples have eyebrows?  Not trying to brag but I have seen some nipples before, sober,  and none of them have had eyebrows.  None.

I will say two things about these bushings though.  One, the packaging amused me.  Two they felt awesome.  I immediately put them in the 100mm Surf-Rodz Indeesz that I have on my Penny.  They felt awesome, I SAID.  I had red Khiro barrels boardside and red Khiro tall inserts Roadside.  They felt really good.  These Nipples are about the same durometer, 89a vs the Khiro 90a.  Maybe is because they seem a little softer but there is more material, but I like them a lot.  I am going to have to try the other hardnesses and try them in some other trucks and see what happens.  
The yellows I got are 89a
purple are 87a
orange are 85a
and I measured them at 1" across, short ones are 9/16" tall and tall ones are 5/8"
they also come with some washers with the eye/nipple logo stamped all around them.  Maybe it is supposed to be a 6?  Or the g from their logo?  anyway the washers are 1/16" thick and 1" across.
