Crocs not only ugly, but also dangerous

A Swedish hospital wants to ban staff from wearing Crocs plastic clogs, blaming the static electricity they generate for three incidents in which respirators and other vital medical equipment malfunctioned.

The hospital is deciding whether to ban the Crocs in certain parts of the hospital, or completely outright.

"It's been a problem for many years, but now there are so many people that have them," said hospital spokesman Bjorn Lofqvist.

AT LAST, the madness may finally stop! I can't even express how much I hate these stupid excuses for a shoe. At first I thought it was just a craze, but now these things are so fucking popular that people in hospitals are getting hurt by them!

I just don't see the appeal. I mean it's not like clogs are that cool to start with, and clogs with holes in them- what genius decided that was a good look? It's time to take a stand against them. I can only hope that this swedish hospital is the first of many institutions to ban them. For it is my dream that we will all, one day, live in a world free of Crocs. I know it's a bold statement, but you have to have dream, or how are you gonna have a dream come true?

Finally! Someone I agree with. Crocs are hideous, and I have NO idea why people buy them. They are REALLY expensive for big chunks of plastic that don't even look as good as $15 Havaianas, they're not even made of out remotely natural materials so I just don't see the appeal. Ergh, I say

Maybe because they are the most comfortable shoes you can imagine. Don't knock something unless you have experienced them first hand.
