More Like, "Devil Bunny"

Yesterday, on the way to my (almost certainly) disastrous comp sci exam (gonna drop that minor), I saw possibly the stupidest thing I have ever seen: high heeled flip-flops. We're talking the plastic and foam variety in requisite garish colors, but with inch to inch and a half heels, little pointy ones. I was walking right behind her, mesmerized by the sheer ridiculousness of this beach-turned-runway foot apparel. Hot pink plastic straps, matching pink and orange flowered foam, the same foam as those cheapie numbers you got every summer at Target (or wherever your parents shopped). Yes, that same insubstantial foam; understandably this material is not suited to support the weight of an adult when focused on the area of a stiletto heel, even if it is only an inch tall. This resulted in the heel being sunken into the foam, angled to the outer edges of the foot; as flip flops aren't renowned for their ergonomic, structural stability. With each step the flip-flop rolled outward, the foot sliding dangerously close to floor contact.

I have gathered from my expeditions around campus that flip flops are in right now, for some reason unbeknownst to me; but hey if the shoe fits, right? But these, these are just a lawsuit waiting to happen.
