april brings the crocs out

I forgot to mention in the last post, but we were mentioned on Norwegian TV during some kind of Crocs debate. Thanks to everyone that wrote in to let us know!

I realize I haven't been posting that much lately, but I have a couple reasons for this! Firstly, here in Canada, it has just stopped being winter. Thankfully, Crocs tend to hibernate during the winter. Except for the especially stupid Crocs, but what can you do, right? My second reason for posting only about once a month is that second year journalism is insane. The amount of work in Radio Broadcasting and Reporting Techniques is quite huge, let me tell you. And of course, I have a great many other classes.

Anyway, look! This is the second post I've written for April! And they're so close to each other! Incredible! This is because I am very close to being done school. I've just got two more days of classes and then a couple exams. And then I'm done! Joyous.

And it is my birthday on the 9th! Hooray.

Here's an email we got:
I thought you guys might appreciate this video.

Hello Vincenzo,
I read that you're birthday is on the 9th so I'd like to say "Happy Birthday!" to my favorite croc hater! My mom's birthday is on the 9th as well and I'd hate to say it, but my family and i keep forgetting her birthday and this will be the perfect way to remember it.
I hope there is a pic of a pair of crocs burning on your cake :)

why are you so against crocs? I truly dont understand. just 'cause you THINK they are ugly doesnt mean its out of style, and its stupid. pesonaly, i think its very full of space, and its so soft, i could even run without problems! this is kind of offending phsyco, and what made you think of writing this trash? you probably dont wear good clothes, do you know how to
make shoes? I read about this on,msn, and it does sound pretty stupid.

what, you eat kittens too?

Quite honestly, I don't see a logical point to this website. Maybe you feel strongly about this brand of merchandise, but why do you waste your time and effort hating on this brand of shoes that has never done anything to you? The point of crocs is to provide comfort while being a fun summer trend that anyone can choose to enjoy. I see you do not enjoy them, but why is that a reason to go on and on about it? I don't see what is wrong with them; I have two pairs of them and I enjoy the bright colors and the feel of them. That is why most people enjoy them. I'm sorry you don't appreciate the fun people can have with their footwear. Loosen up! No one is forcing you to wear or purchase them.

About your videos... Why on earth would you burn, cut up, and even blend perfectly good shoes? Is it the pleasure you get from such destruction? Is it the attention and comments you get that gains you popularity (whether good or bad)? Honestly, I think this whole thing is a very immature, unnecessary, time wasting over reaction of a few people's opinions. Everyone has their right to an opinion, but I don't think you need go this far. We understand you do not care for this particular brand. Couldn't you talk about something that really matters in this world? Speaking of people around the world, I think you would cause poor people who can't afford ANY shoes to shed tears, because of the nonsense, and the videos. For one, these poor people would do anything in the world to have something to protect their feet; they would be saddened to see a wealthy, well-off person like yourself and your "croc hater friends" to destroy the footwear just for pleasure. Vincenzo, they would kill just to put shoes on their families and themselves! In America, average people like ourselves should really be less selfish and think of people who are not as well-off as we are. That is humane. What a waste of the shoes, Vincenzo. I think you can do better than that. I have an idea for you: Instead of putting all this effort into telling the world how much you hate the shoes, why don't you collect them and send them off to the poor who need them? It would show that you are a selfless person who has a good heart. By doing something good like this, you could gain more positive attention, and consequently, more positive feedback than you are getting now. I think this would be very fulfilling, and it would be forever appreciated by all the men, women and children in third world countries. I am from a third world country, and I know how it feels to recieve a gift like that. It would make you feel good, and at the same time; you'd be getting rid of the crocs! Express yourself in a different way, and have people view you as a generous person, not a hater. This is my suggestion to you. Please consider it carefully. Think about other people in the world, not just yourself and your personal silly dislikes. Use the right judgement, it will help you more than you know. The world is yours to do what you want. Make the best of it.

P.S. Secondhand smoke is indeed damaging to your lungs. However, the sight of crocs could never do anything like that to your eyes. Come on, toughen up! If you don't like the sight of them, then don't look at them! Case closed. It's time to do something more positive in this world.

Wow Dr-Seuss92! So much wisdom in your mere 16 years!

Crocs are the only shoes my two-year-old can wear by herself. And I think they look very cute on her.

Oh, one more thing, happy birthday Vincenzo.

I think that they're fine. Especially when worn by medical professionals. I know a bunch of nurses who wear them, and I'd put on a pair every once in a while.
They're comfertable.
