Follies of the Mad Men #100

Well, here we are at the hundredth weird advertisement. I think we have a suitably memorable item, involving one of the most maligned and hated products of recent vintage: Crocs!

An absolutely creepy concept. Hideous living shoes molest you upon entry to your supposedly safe domicile.

For some reason, wearing plastic shoes just ain't appealing to me. And this is in a land where summer attire is T-shirts, shorts, and shower-shoes. (zories, flip-flops, etc.)
