IPromote Techfoots

iPromote Techfoots (also known as iGot a Sponsor) is the 18th episode of the first season of iCarly.

Plot
A shoe company, Daka Shoes, wants iCarly to promote their new shoe, the "Techfoot." The iCarly gang accepts, but the shoe turns out to have many defects, and iCarly starts losing viewers from angry Techfoot buyers.

They try to get out of the contract, but Greg Horvath, president of Daka, threatens to sue them if they do. Using Spencer's law book from his three days of law school, they find that iCarly has to comment on the Techfoots "in a positive way," so they reveal the flaws of the shoes but make positive comments about them in the process. The Daka executives then grudgingly pays them $30,000 to stop talking about the shoes completely.

Meanwhile, Spencer gets frustrated with public transportation and tries other means to get around the city. After helping Carly get out of the contract, she buys him a motorcycle.
