The Washington Post is reporting that the company that makes Crocs — those ridiculous rubber shoes with holes in them — is heading for bankruptcy:
“The company’s toast,” said Damon Vickers, who manages an investment fund at Nine Points Capital Partners in Seattle. “They’re zombie-ish. They’re dead and they don’t know it.”
The basic problem is that they have a surplus inventory of shoes, they’ve gone into debt to expand their manufacturing capacity, and demand for Crocs has evaporated.
All of this is happy news for the bloggers at IHateCrocs.com. They hate Crocs so much they bought a pair just to cut it up.
On their blog, they link to a T-shirt selling site, where they offer some anti-Crocs merchandise. Best slogan? “For those about to Croc, we refute you.”
“They’re zombie-ish. They’re dead and they don’t know it” is probably the greatest quote I have ever heard.
this post is lame, boring, and already done like 5 years ago!
I’m having trouble deciding whether your comment is a troll or some sort of subtle meta-joke.
