The fact that they look plastic was a draw back and they look horrible when wearing them, big bulky things suitable only for small children who's parents have not thought of some sort of sandal or wellington boot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38504510.post-14672375530254804562007-09-09T15:23:00.000-03:002007-09-09T15:23:00.000-03:00I made these comments at I the new I love crocs.co...I made these comments at I the new I love crocs.com:<BR/><BR/>I just happened to notice this controversy by accident because of a contest in the Chicago Tribune's Q sesction based on the decline in the fashionability of wearing croc's.<BR/><BR/>http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/lifestyle/q/chi-0909_chal_new_h_n_dsep09,1,7495586.story<BR/><BR/>Q Challenge number 257 Croc and Awe<BR/><BR/>"Have Crocs jumped the shark? Some fashion forecasters are predicting that the giant plastic shoes are on the way out, and investors note that the company's stock has taken some recent tumbles. There's even a Web site -- Ihatecrocs.com -- calling for the "elimination of Crocs and those who think that their excuses for wearing them are viable."<BR/>Ah well, it couldn't last forever. Now the question is, what to do with those spongy, brightly colored clogs once no one is wearing them anymore?<BR/>Come up with a good use for cast-off crocs and send your entries -- limit three per person -- by noon Thursday to q@tribune.com. Include name and address and put Challenge 257 in the subject field."<BR/><BR/><BR/>Having mentioned that, you might consider adding to the NAME of your website, not the address, "Crocs.com, The Home of all things Crocs: Fans Raves, Commentary, Jokes, Free Speech, Comedy and Parody" <BR/><BR/>Then a byline that says"We are not officially affiliated with the manufacture and sales of crocs shoes. See (web address) for the Croc's home page."<BR/><BR/>Then I suggest you put a big Crocodile near the top of your page too.<BR/><BR/>This will help protect you in several ways, I think.<BR/><BR/>One, it makes clear that this is a Crocs fan site.<BR/><BR/>Two, it cites commentary, comedy, free speech etc, in the opening at the top of the page. The first thing any attorney or judge would evaluate in looking at the site.<BR/><BR/>Three, adding a crocodile muddies the issue of whether you are entirely a shoe fan web site, since croc and crocs are words in common useage. The manufacturer really should have used an alternate spelling such as krocs. Their trademark may have no standing whatsoever because it is a term in common useage. I am not an attorney, though I have played one on the stage. See one, I strongly suggest starting with the American Civil Liberties Union.<BR/><BR/>This is a unique case and they might enjoy getting in there and setting some ground-breaking case law on this.<BR/><BR/>Finally, you might want to consider, with an attorney or an agent, finding out how much Croc's might be willing to PAY, that's right pay for the domain name. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like you are undergoing considerable time and effort here. Your time is valuable. They want something from you, like a domain name that draws visitors daily.<BR/><BR/>That has economic value. Find out what it is worth.<BR/><BR/>They may have even, perhaps not, damaged its value somehow. I think I remember hearing somewhere that in a court of equity, one must do equity to receive equity, is that right attorneys out there?<BR/><BR/>Well, trying to get you to give up your domain name for nothing in return sounds like a croc to me!<BR/><BR/>If you need a humor break, come visit me at the:<BR/><BR/>Peter Files Blog of Comedy, Satire, Jokes, Commentary and Video (Much Original Material)<BR/>Http://ThePeterFiles.Blogspot.comThe Peter Files Blog of Comedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039732172751920405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38504510.post-14064659975176060962007-09-02T13:34:00.000-03:002007-09-02T13:34:00.000-03:00If I had an ihatecrocs shirt, I would totally send...If I had an ihatecrocs shirt, I would totally send you a picture, but alas, I do not.
