Sigh. Not a Sketchers fan anyway, but this is just ridiculous.

I like some styles of Sketchers and I'm wearing a pair right now... However, I was not stupid enough to buy into the hype... and would laugh at the middle aged women that bought into it.... But it's right up there with Nutella being "healthy" (even though it's a chocolate spread) and Captian Crunch with Crunchberries don't have real berries (as if it ever did)... Sadly we just can't fix stupid and I blame the seat belt laws and other laws of the like that protect stupid from darwinism.
