You've got my vote. But, you wanna know what the sad part of it all is? Once it gets too cold to wear Crocs, guess what will replace them? Yep....Uggs!

In a word----AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!

Excellent!

Actually, the article has been retracted because it was based on an urban myth. The hospital in Sweden has been close for three years and the hospital in Sheffield has only banned them from operating theatres for hygiene reasons. Don't believe everything you read in the papers, especially the Sun!

Are you trying to say that The Sun would sensationalise a story ?

It wasn't only reported in the Soaraway Scum. Here's a more high-brow version of the same story.

I think they also cause global warming!

Not good for the environment and not biodegratable either. It is going to cost as much if not more than tires to dispose of them. They are probably causing alot of pollution to make as well to dispose of.

Crocs cause 40 escalator accidents

As I've discussed, time and time again, Crocs are one of the 21st century's great fashion tragedies. They're unattractive, annoying, and simply refuse to go away. Wretch!

And today we learn that not only are they ugly, Crocs are also dangerous. The popular imitation clogs have recently been causing accidents on escalators in Japan -- so many, in fact, that the Japanese government has urged the public to be more careful when wearing the plastic monstrosities.

Apparently, the brightly-colored safety hazards have been getting caught in the moving stairs. Fortunately, most people have been escaping unscathed, but one 5-year-old girl broke her middle toe and had three of her toenails ripped off when she couldn't pull her foot out in time.

However, there is a plus side -- many of those involved reported that their Crocs were damaged in the accidents.
