    Good lord Crocs are a sign of the downfall of society. Anyone see Idiocracy? See what everyone was wearing? That's right, Crocs. If that's not reason enough to avoid the damn things check this out.

    Have fun fishing your kids toes out of the side of an escalator.

    It happens in a second. This not the only case. If you guys have kids that will ever ride an escalator with these things on I suggest you pass, but if a pair of supid looking "shoes" with Optimus Prime on them is worth you childs toes then by all means.

    If I remember correctly they came in some pretty low sizes. I would say if they can walk they can wear them.

    I immediately thought the shoe, but then thought "What if it isn't," which led me instantly to Animated Croc'O'Prime.

    I was both dissapointed, and not.

    Ever listen to the parent's accounts of the matter? They're always walking off, then turning when they notice their child is not beside them, then looking back in horror.

    I read the title and thought of that G1 cartoon episode where Megatron and the Decepticons tear Optimus Prime down and use the parts to build a mechanical crocodile.:thumb

    Well I've never heard of this kind of "footwear" before, so I didn't really have the options.

    ABC News: Crocs Can Pose a Danger on Escalators

    And hanging shoelaces can be hazardous and sucked into escalator parts as well. Crocs aren't dangerous on escalators. Rather, escalators are just a potential hazard to anyone wearing shoes. That'll teach us all to walk barefoot on them.

    The escalators thing doesn't mean anything to me, since my kids'll be wearing those things indoors only.

    When I read this post, I realized that Sentinel Prime's head would make an awesome design for a clown shoe. What with his asteroid-sized chin and all.
