It’s finals week and Kelsey has sent me a wonderful distraction. More hate on crocs, by Steve Tuttle. Steve (we’re on a first name basis due to a mutual dislike) quotes Maddox:

People who wear Crocs go on and on about how comfortable they are, and how it’s supposedly odor resistant because it’s made out of some kind of anti-bacterial foam … You know what else it’s resistant to? You getting laid.

And hilariously, there’s a lot of backlash on this article, condemning him as a baseless fool who writes like a teen rants. I Hate Crocs Dot Com gets a lot of hate as well, so it appears that the croc lovers push back just as much as the dissers.

A lot of people who write in to our site don’t believe in freedom of speech, just the freedom of being able to wear ugly shoes.

All I can do is laugh and agree. I really should have stated my grievance at dinner. Oh well, another year won’t change much. I will still be a croc hater, and proud.

This morning I heard a wonderful piece of news on NPR. Check THIS out:

Colorado-based Crocs Inc. stock has lost 90 percent of its value since last October, and the company predicts its shoe sales in the U.S. will decline by 20 percent this year.

So what happened? Company officials blame the economy. >>Full Article

Yeah you keep telling yourself that Croc execs. Whatever makes you happy. I highly suggest you listen to the segment, because if you are a croc hater and croc watching is what you can’t help but feel is your form of public service, then it’s very satisfying. I was literally giggling like a mad person, with the fingers wiggling and “MAHAHAHHAHAHAA’s” to no one in particular. Is it wrong that I am genuinely delighted to hear about the possible downfall of a company? Is it? Because I don’t feel a thing. Well maybe the fact that the economy is poor and gas prices are atrocious and the dollar is weak and I despair at the thought of not being able to buy more things I don’t need overseas and all that hullabaloo BUT at least I can see a silver lining as Crocs are slowly being put to the death. So huzzah!
