Now It's Crocs. Has Japan Not Suffered Enough?

By Chuck Ansbacher 2:54 PM

In an apparent plot to further dispirit the already sufficiently dispirited citizenry of Japan, the company that makes what we can easily call the most disgusting things to ever come in contact with a human foot that doesn’t start with “fun” and end with “gus” has decided to “help” the Japanese by gifting them with 100,000 pairs of their naff shoes.

One of the truly and only inspiring aspects of the sadness that has ravaged Japan has been the respect with which the Japanese have treated each other and their society on a whole. No looting has taken place; no chaos has broken out amidst the chaos. The country is in a shambles, but their dignity remains firmly intact.

That can all be expected to change once 100,000 pairs of eye-vomit inducing moron clogs hit the Shibuya.

In their press release incredulously promoting this apparent hate crime as an act of decency, Crocs Inc. also touts their humanitarian shoe-aide in the aftermath of the Haitian earth quake. The only inference we can make from such a bald faced display of animosity towards the Haitians and now the Japanese is that Crocs Inc. holds a deep seeded racist disgust for both nations, and is publicly rooting for their demise.
