There is a shoe god!

I had a tough Monday today. That is, until I read this piece run by the New York Times last week about how those evil, aesthetically-challenged jerks at Crocs are going out of business.

I've prayed for the day this company would go out of business. Not because I hate the 2000 employees who lost their jobs with Crocs last year, but because I hate ugly shoes. I've been dying to scream at strangers in the street for years.
  1. Your feet look ginormous. That's not sexy
  2. Don't your feet smell? Because, if so, that's not sexy.
  3. You clean your footwear with a hose. Seriously, there's nothing sexy about that.

I know it's not a substantive or involved list, but here's the punchline in the form of unlicensed advice: it's just not sexy. And I'm glad the market caught up with what I was thinking was best.
