Those ugly things you call shoes

I came across this site: I Hate Crocs Dot Com. while I was surfing the web and found it really amusing. You'll find here several interesting articles from the utterly absurd to the mundane, mostly, if not all, having something to do with the ridiculous fad that is Crocs.

I can't say I hate Crocs, but you won't hear me say I love 'em either and I won't be caught wearing one of those funny-looking, hole-ridden, insanely colored, plastic clogs. I have nothing againts the people who like wearing these things, nor the masterminds behind this bandwagon(except maybe envy for the genius of selling out something horrible-looking as a fashion trend and making millions from it), but its popularity is becoming quite unnerving. It is an eye-sore afterall.

Sure, they're comfortable (according to patrons of the product). Afterall, they were originally developed as spa shoes. It just makes me wonder how comfortable the people wearing these are feeling while they're looking goofy with those plastic monstrosities adorn their pretty little feet?

Perhaps I'm just being biased. Maybe the people wearing the shoes really just don't care about how they look, and couldn't care less if they're part of the latest fashion trends or the latest fad. They go for comfort...

Maybe... but I just have this feeling that this world has got one too many superficialities and that we could be better off without adding another one.
