Now Its On!
Just a week after the discovery of the Mammoth Crocs, I see a couple of Crocs post on StyleDash that make me want to scream. The first is about Crocs launching a clothing line (I know stay with me here), and the second shows a sweet little video that makes me sick to my stomach.
It seems that my arch nemesis at Crocs HQ have come up with a way to spin the spongy foam resin the shoes are made of into yarn. With this spongy resin yarn, they plan on making t-shirts, and I assume if they actually make a profit the line will expand. As inventive as shoe-shirts may be, I can’t help thinking all of their clothes will feel like they are made of the tarp or at the very least windbreaker material, but at least the clothes will be waterproof.
Right?
Not even seconds after having to process the idea of people walking around in neon tarps they call shirts, I had the honor of viewing a video made by the evil Croc Lords at LookatMyCrazyShoes.com. Its a nice little spoof of the Mac commercials. See the hilarity for yourself:
I personally believe the Mac commercials worked because Justin Long (the mac guy) was relatable. He had this awkward cuteness that makes girls in their teens and twenties swoon just a bit, but he wasn’t overly handsome so the guys weren’t intimidated. In the Crocs spoof however, the “Croc guy” is not really any of the things Justin Long is. I’m afraid to even try to understand who this ad is supposed to be directed towards. Not only that, but while are crocs being labeled “fun and funky” while normal shoes are said to be “socially awkward”?
I know I’m not the only advocate of a Croc-less society. What do you think about a Crocs clothing line and their new advertisements?
