Default Dumbest bushings I have ever seen. (found that clunk)

The rear of my '95 had been clunking for a while and being off of work here for a while, I took a look. Both lower control arms were shockingly loose.
Ordered 4 new Moog bushings (Couldn't pay me to use anything else) and this is what I found.
Needless to say, I was shocked. These have to be the most asinine thing I have ever seen. Car has been adult driven, 130K.
Herb Adams would NOT be impressed

What's the problem?

Are you talking about the "gaps"? I think those are design intent. It allows you to tune the bushing to have a different rate of compliance depending on the direction of load.
