Kids are going to be eating those.
Dogs too.
I foresee an uptick in ER visits.
I was going to give these all of a minute of life span with a small dog, 30 seconds with a midsize dog and less than 10 seconds with a large dog.
I can count the number of times I’ve heard “I really want a shoe that looks like it has pieces of fried chicken stuck on it” on no hands.
KFC isn’t even about selling chicken anymore, is it? I remember BB covering a weird video game and camping gear. Their TV ads are usually satisfying weird. If I was looking for a marketing team, I’d steal theirs. I dislike their food, but I guess I’m a fan of the brand.
Rule 34 has finally gone too far.
Mac Sabbath’s Grimalice approves.
KFC Exec: “Ha! Whose stupid idea was that? No prob. We’ll still make money on it!”
Crocs Exec: “Ha! Whose stupid idea was that? No prob. We’ll still make money on it!”
You know those exercises that go, try to imagine what your average daily life scene looks like to a transplanted-in-time George Washington or whoever, and how you’d explain cell phones to them?
Well it’s not like you can make Crocs any uglier. I kinda like the idea of Crocs becoming the next Bearbrick, using the shoe as a blank canvas.
This is not the sort of clog I usually associate with KFC.
Can someone please explain to me what the fuck is going on? I don’t mean these crocs, just, you know, in general.
I’m going with we are stuck in a simulation and it is being run by an 8 year old. Nothing else makes sense anymore.
Perfect gift for your vegan / veggie friend.
Possible these are just some vaporware product. Generates buzz, but try to actually order a pair (God, why?) and they’ll be out-of-stock, because… demand.
Sort of like:
Burger King Exec: “Crap! why can’t we think of this stuff!?”
We really are living in hell, aren’t we.
