If you wear Crocs, stop reading right now.

See, you didn't take my advice, and you are still reading. What the fuck is wrong with you? The makers of the Croc have really pulled one over on American consumers, which just goes to show how buying things for the sake of buying them trumps all other considerations. Crocs even admits this on thier own website, which features several animated graphic tabs, all under the heading "reasons you've gotta have em." Among tabs titled things like "you wont slip off your boat" and "big air ventalation ports" is a tab labeled "I just want to buy."

What the fuck is that? You know what that is? It's the truth. People are now willing to drop between 45 and 70 dollars on a pastel colored foot condom just because someone else did the same. Do we blame the manufacturer for marketing such a monstrosity? Do we blame the first eccentric old sailor's wife for starting the chain reaction of copycat purchasers? No, America; we have no one to blame but ourselves.
