What Is And What Never Should Be

It's almost like they posed the question; "How can we make ugly, uglier?". Even though it was probably more along the lines of "How can we make even more money?".

We're all too familiar with Crocs around these parts. Black to white and every color of the rainbow in between, everyone's got a pair, even me! Love em or hate em, you gotta admit the bastards are comfy. But really, are the holey Crocs alone enough? Appairantly not.

I know most of us love to accesorize. Rings on our fingers, bracelets on our wrists, belts around our waists. And now we add a new category, Jibbitz on our Crocs. JIBBITZ! That's what those holes in our shoes are for. Not to let our feet breathe, not to get our feet wet on rainy days. Decoration. That's what it's all about. We just had to be patient to find out.

I took a tour of their website today. Here it is. So much selection in the ugly hole plugger section. You could spell your name on them. Or maybe even put in a happy face, your favorite animal, a bandaid for when your crocs feelings get hurt by all the ugly comments. If what they have isn't enough for you, you can even get your own custom Jibbitz made, for a cool grand.

I haven't seen any of them around town thus far, but it has been quite rainy lately. I am curious to see how long it will take for the craze to begin.
